1940 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet Convertible Hot Rod-Street Rod-Rat Rod Midnight Blue Metallic
This is a very classy and rare street rod updated with all the modern comforts: power steering, air conditioning, power windows and seats. It has a 5.0 HO Ford engine, automatic overdrive transmission, 8" Ford rear end w/3.50 ratio, rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, 12 volt electric system with new wire harness, and wire spoke wheels with radial tires.
This rare beauty is one of approximately 60 First Generation Cabriolets remaining. There were only 350 Lincoln Continental Cabriolets produced in 1940, which was also the first year for the Continental.
According to previous owners, this vehicle was previously owned by Bette Davis (stunning American actress (1908-1989)) and later retroed by Tommy Jenkins. You can see some of Tommy’s work and our Lincoln Continental (on page two): http://rowleycorvette.com/grandsport/tomshop.html
