The original iconic Lincoln Continental was introduced in 1940. After WWII, production continued with few changes until 1948. Conceived by Edsel Ford and Ford's chief stylist, Bob Gregorie, the Lincoln Continental was a luxury connesouirs automobile. This beautiful automobile was a hand-crafted affair for the status-conscious consumer of the day.
The interior displays automotive art and style at its finest, not replaced during the restoration, there are a few small imperfections here and there. This Art Deco inspired design features functional gauges throughout, including the elaborate original signal-seeking AM radio. Lincoln Land performed much of the work. The wiring has been gone through as well.
The exterior styling is unmistakable. The elegant lines project poise and grace. This example features an older finish just professionally polished and detailed throughout. Originally a midnight blue, the now black finish, is in good condition, with noticeable imperfections on close inspection. The paint was completed in 2009. Lincoln Land completely went through the convertible top system. The cylinders valves, wiring, top frame, cylinder covers, hydraulics, etc. has been attended to. The convertible top has been replaced along with a custom convertible top boot.
