Vehicle Description
Rare
1948 Lincoln Continental
Convertible
"After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Continental production was
suspended, to be re-started in 1946-1948. Like the other post-war
Lincolns, however, the Continental had similar bits of trim added
to make it look improved. Walnut trim was added in 1947.
The 1939-1948 Continental is recognized as a "Full Classic" by the
Classic Car Club of America, one of the last-built cars to be so
recognized. The 1948 Continental had the last V12 engine put in an
American car."
