Mecum to auction '61 Lincoln Continental loaned to Jackie Kennedy by Ford

To capitalize on her elegance and popularity, executives at Ford Motor Company loaned Jackie a gleaming white 1961 Continental four-door convertible for tooling around Washington, D.C. After November 1963, Lincoln Continentals and the Kennedys were forever linked, but the once glamorous droptop's image was tarnished.
