Vehicle Description
This 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible is a CCCA approved "True
Classic" that has a great look and is a great driver. The
Continental was a hand-crafted, luxury model that built for
Boulevard cruising and was initially designed by Raymond Loewy. The
Continental was also Lincoln's first post-war model, leading it
into the future of automobile manufacturing. The Continental was
highly lauded for its artistic contribution to automobile design,
being selected by the Museum of Modern Art and Time Magazine as one
of the best-designed cars of all time. All together, Lincoln
produced 1,299 Continentals in 1948 of which 452 were Convertibles,
making this '48 a very rare example. This particular '48
Continental comes to us from a large Texas collection and spent
time in Virginia previous to that. Powering this beautiful
Continental is Lincoln's world-famous 305 V-12 Engine with a Single
2 Barrel Carburetor that pushed out 130 horsepower in its day. The
smooth running V12 engine is mated up to a 3 Speed Manual
Transmission with a column mounted shifter. The chrome and
brightwork around the exterior of this Continental are in fantastic
shape, especially for a 70+ year old automobile. The beige cloth
power convertible top has a glass rear window, and goes up and down
with ease with the simple pull or push of a button. The exterior of
this 1948 Lincoln Mark I has been refinished in a beautiful black
paint that has a fantastic shine and an ultra-classy look. This
Lincoln Continental sits on 4 bias-ply Wide Whitewall Tires with
Full Lincoln Hubcaps and Beauty Rings. The interior on this 1948
Lincoln Continental has a fantastic, regal look. The front
split-bench seat and the rear bench seat is finished in Burgundy
Leather with Black inserts, which gives this classic Lincoln a
premium look. The color-matched Burgundy door panels and carpeting
carry the elevated interior look throughout the vehicle. The dash
and steering wheel are in nice shape as well, appearing to be in
their stock configuration. The dash on this '48 Lincoln Mark 1 is
equipped with a Speedometer, Temperature Gauge, Oil Pressure Gauge,
Amp Gauge, Fuel Gauge, and Electric Clock. If you're looking for a
true classic that was one of the most beautiful American cars ever
made, this 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible is the car for you.
