1958 a modestly refaced continuation of the 1958 Continental Mark
III emerged with the Continental officially becoming a Lincoln
again for the first time since 1948. A big 430/350HP V8 and a
milestone car with all instruments sitting ahead of the driver who
faced an upright looking dash with luxurious upholstery and fully
powered options including a power retractable top and rear window
offering the latest in subtle elegance! Billed as the 'World's Most
Admired Car' and advertised as classic beauty, craftsmanship and
sheer elegance combined.By 1960 these Lincoln's were definitely the
largest, heaviest and most luxurious vehicles of any on the road.
Up front all Lincoln's carried dual headlamps, canted at 45 degree
angles from the massive front bumper with the top-of-the-line
Continental Mark V using an even finer looking grille. The body
sides were long flab sides with a horizontal crease running body
length over a unitized body and frame. Standard power was the 430
CID engine and all this year's Lincoln's boasted a newly designed
rear suspension system.This particular southern California example
was obviously always garaged and well maintained. The floor boards,
trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are solid and rust-free
and the car has no signs of any accidents. The car boasts a very
professional repaint in it's original 'Polaris White' color paint
and a very nicely restored 'Black' leather interior with all its
original factory instrumentation intact including the original
'Town amp; Country' radio. The original type power Black soft top
which includes Continental stars embossed on the unique C pillars
has been recently serviced with new hydraulic rams and a new motor
and functions perfectly and all the chrome is also in absolutely
exceptional condition. The car also has 4 new Whitewall tires and
it's all original trunk kit.The 430 c.i. V8 engine is extremely
strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this
particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to
be believed - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives
straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or
rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern
day car a run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly
through the gears and the car is an absolute pleasure to drive!Rare
with these particularly sophisticated cars, all the options work
including all the power options and the fully retractable top and
rear window! The car has its original spare wheel and jack in the
truck and an owners manual.This is an extraordinarily rare
opportunity to own a great daily driving example of a very well
preserved 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Convertible in a very
striking color combination! A true all American classic car for the
Lincoln enthusiast or any classic car enthusiast to enjoy today!
