Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1948 Lincoln Continental
for your consideration. This Lincoln is not powered by the original
flathead V12 but it was professionally swapped by Wade R Smith with
a 1954 Cadillac V8 motor. This motor retained air conditioning and
the wonderful driving experience while updating the drivetrain with
a strong American V8. The motor turns over a couple of times before
firing right up. The 3 on the tree manual transmission is strong as
well. L
The exterior of this Continental is finished in Seafoam Green. The
exterior paint has many places of paint chipping and fading, but
this Continental does have a good body that is ripe for
restoration. Inside the vehicle is a tired interior which like the
exterior is ready for refreshing. This example features working
power windows which is surprising for a car that is over 70 years
old.
This first-generation Continental was designed for luxury and
handmade for the upper class. As you can see, this particular
example is a diamond in the rough and has plenty of room for
investment and if done right you could have a healthy return. As
you can see it needs restoration but is still very attractive in
its condition for its rarity. Please call or email with any
questions or for additional information.
