1 of only 452 cabriolet made in 1948. The last year of this style.
Genuine full classic as distinguished by Classic Car Club of
America. Ground up restored in 1992 and winner of the prestigious
AACA national 1 st place Junior and Senior awards. It is from the
estate of a collector who took excellent care of it.
EXTERIOR: It certainly has proven itself! This paint job is 28
years old and it looks like it was done yesterday. I just went
around it twice, I don't see any cracking, damage or rust. There
are very insignificant little Nick's and touch ups. The body is
absolutely straight, panels fit real well. The paint is polished so
smooth and glossy it is like a mirror. The chrome and trim is
gorgeous. Standing next to the car it looks new. Every piece is
shiny including the pot metal grill, chrome bumpers, moldings,
bezels etc. The hubcaps are polished and have the Lincoln script
emblems. The wide white walls still look good. Features include a
continental tire in back, big fender skirts and very unique push
button door openers. The convertible top is a tan Haartz cloth in
excellent condition. It has it's glass rear window. The top is
power and works.
INTERIOR: It is restored beautifully inside. When I say it has a
leather interior, I mean it is all leather. The seats are
completely leather, the door panels, armrests and even the visors.
No vinyl, it is all glove soft. The plastic red plastic knobs on
the power window switches, vent windows cranks, push button door
openers, shift knob and cigarette lighters are excellent. The red
steering wheel is excellent, no cracks. The dash area is beautiful.
The metal is painted nice, chrome is bright, gauges are clean. The
red carpet is real nice. It has a clock, radio, heater and power
windows!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The V-12 engine's reputation is it runs as
quiet as a mouse with slippers. The engine compartment has
obviously been apart and restored. The motor was rebuilt at the
time of restoration. Everything looks proper. It has the right Ford
hoses and clamps, radiator cap, air cleaner, even the correct horns
look restored. It has cloth wrapped wiring. It also has original
remote oil filter. The hydraulic pump that operates the windows and
top is in the motor compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the trunk is completely carpeted. The
carpet has bound and sewn edges. It also includes a box with some
miscellaneous extra Parts the original jack is in a custom made
canvas pouch. There is a black pouch with original tools.
UNDERSIDE: The bottom looks solid. It was cleaned and freshened up
with black paint. The motor and trans are both clean. The muffler
looks new.
Very few cars after 1940 were considered "classics". This Lincoln
was very deserving. It was such an elegant and exclusive car then
and today. Being a classic solidifies it's value and allows it to
participate in CCCA caravans and events. This one is in excellent
condition.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
