Vehicle Description
The bright paint, road-owning size, and desirable big V8 all remind
you that the 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car is a true classic
premium cruiser. And when the presentation is both this nice and
vintage, it feels like driving a luxury time capsule.
Lincoln has always been a premium nameplate, but not all of them
were created equal. The Town Car trim on the Continental was the
top of the line. This optional package is where you get the details
that really impress, like the opera rear windows and the
contrasting coach roof. The Crystal Apricot Poly has a nice bright
look, and just enough age for most people to think it's original.
And the white part of the roof is now painted on so that you don't
have to worry about the condition of the vinyl. These really knew
how to own the road with a premium look of hidden headlights, a
Rolls-Royce inspired grille, and wraparound bumpers that draw extra
attention to the artful lights that extend from each corner. And
everything appears complete on this classic: from the full-length
body trim to the smooth factory wheel covers.
Open the door to two rows of pillow-top leather seats. It proves
that this sedan is more comfortable then some people's living
rooms. In fact, a full-size car in the 1970s means you also have
more room than some people's homes! That's how you define classic
American luxury, and so this is a sedan that family and friends
will love to go for a ride. But even when you're just going solo,
this Town Car is great. The individual armrests up front and power
driver's seat mean you can easily set your individual level of
comfort. The opulent dash is built around you with an easy reach to
the power locks, cruise control, remote mirror control, and the
original AM/FM stereo with separate 8-track. Plus, there are
provisions for power windows and factory air conditioning. And yes,
Lincoln's famous Cartier clock still has a prominent placement in
the middle.
Under the hood is Ford's 460 cubic-inch V8. This has a very stock
look, and this is an important displacement to have, because 1978
was the final year for this big V8. The four-barrel carburetor lets
this motor inhale deeply, and it runs well. So you get the kind of
confidence and torque that can move mountains. But really, you'll
just enjoy this Town Car for the way it can get moving from
stoplights. And because this is built for luxury, the power
steering, front disc brakes, and three-speed automatic transmission
make it easy to drive. And of course, the suspension strives for a
cloud-like experience.
With a terrific luxury setup inside and out, this big motor Lincoln
has a lot going for it... and it's all for a little price. That
makes for a car you need to get your hands on right now. Call
