Backstory: For 1963, the Continental was restyled to a more rounded, softer look. The signature taillight assembly had an "upside-down U" shaped aluminum trim strip above the taillights, but the individual lights were surrounded by a body-colored panel. The 488 cui (8.0 L) V8 engine returned as the big-block option, as well as the Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetors setup for the 202 kW (275 PS; 271 HP) at 4.800 rpm and 554 Nm (409 lb⋅ft) at 2.400 rpm of torque engines. The 1963 model also came with the option of a Truck horn.
The 1963 model year is a staple of lowrider culture, and it is commonly mentioned in West Coast hip hop lyrics.
