They look nice.  Sealed, no opening features.

@chris You found two more variations.  I was going by the Burbank HofH announcement.  I like they medium blue with the black vinyl top.

@whodeytink   Look again brother....  😮 😮 😮 

1) Vinyl tops were not a factory option on 1963 Lincolns.

2) You're looking at a convertible with the top up....    😉 😉 😉

@chris Hahaha, my eyesight is just so bad.  Yup, it's a convertible.  Now I want it even more!

@chris 

Good catch ! The give-away is also the missing Lincoln “star” on the “C” pillar.

I had meant to pass on this ONLY because I am out of display room for 1/18.  But, this is one of my favorite Lincolns ever so the convertible will likely be coming to my house.  So weak.

I'm not sure that is a factory color though.  I'm not seeing it on Autocolorlibrary.  Maybe Columbia Blue Haze Poly, a 1961 color.  Anyone know?

I do not, I'll have to check.   

But yeah.....   I'd LOVE to have a full-function 1/18 '63 blue sedan to compliment my '61 convertible (which has the correct whitewalls tires.... 😏 😏)  and my '63 convertible (which also wears the correct whitewall tires - BUT I LIKE KK-Scale's better!  )

@chris Those are both gorgeous.  Hey, where did you find the blue top up version?   I went to the KK site but only see the top down Lincoln Lawyer version. 

I had intended to wait till the DeSotos arrive before buying any more KK Scale.  I guess the Lincolns will be available for a while.  I don't think any of these are LEs.

1/18 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible, color - blue metallic with a black top, maker - KK-scale. SKU-  KKDC181522, release year — 2026.
 
The first Lincolns have arrived
 
The build quality is standard for KK-Scale.
 
The paintwork is smooth with no flaws. The metallic grain is fine and finished with a clear coat. There is a very slight orange peel effect due to a coarse paint spray. The panel gaps are molded a bit shallow.
 
The upper and lower chrome moldings are painted on and applied evenly.
 
The interior, which is easy to access thanks to the removable top, looks rather spartan. The seats are hard and fixed in place. Small details like the handles and the entire dashboard are molded as a single piece with the interior tub. There is no flocking on the floor. Sun visors are missing.
 
Side windows are attached to the removable top, similar to the MCG '76 Eldorado. However, unlike the Eldorado—which lacked vent windows, causing the side windows to fit poorly against the A-pillars—this model features vent windows, so the side windows fit properly against them. The top itself also fits snugly, leaving no gaps.
 
The badges on the rear fenders are painted (not photo-etched).
 
The taillights are made of painted metal.
 
The hood ornament is 3D molded, not photo-etched.
 
The wheel hubcaps feature "Lincoln Continental" lettering.
 
The undercarriage is well-detailed for a sealed diecast model, featuring a realistic suspension. The exhaust system is a separate part. As usual with KK-Scale models, the front wheels are steerable.

@carcass1996 Outstanding review AND pics, thank you!    Does anyone understand the "Not Guilty"  license plate?    Why would KK replicate that?     Is that a Matrix (movie) thing?  🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
