Vehicle Description
The bright paint, road-owning size, and big V8 all remind you that
the 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car is a true classic premium
cruiser. And when the presentation is both loaded and vintage, it
feels like driving a luxury time capsule.
The Wedgewood Blue paint is a more modern respray of the
factory-correct color. It's part of an investment in making sure
this has an upper-class presentation. After all, 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
shows its regal presence with details like the coach lamps and a
vinyl roof that coordinates in blue. It's all quite nice while also
never being so preserved that this feels more like a museum piece
than a driver. Plus, these knew how to really bring style to the
streets with hidden headlights, a Rolls-Royce inspired grille, and
bright wraparound bumpers. These join the sharp lines and tight
body panels for a look that still earns respect today.
While muscle car lovers look for triple-black, premium classic
lovers will take note of the paint, roof, and interior that give
you a triple-blue. Two rows of pillow-top velour seats prove that
this sedan is more comfortable than 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 Lincoln
is great. Part of the Town Car package means front seats with dual
folding armrests and individual power adjustment. So it's a very
personal driver's experience. The opulent dash is built around you
with an easy reach to the power windows, cruise control, tilt
steering column, remote mirror control, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. And it makes sure to deliver a true vintage
experience with details like the AM/FM stereo with 8-track and the
full courtesy light package that greets you when the door
opens.
The engine bay continues the time capsule style, including the
correct-displacement 400 cubic-inch powerplant. It's related to the
high-performance Cleveland V8s that went into legendary muscle
cars. But in this larger displacement, it was refined to deliver
the necessary torque to move this large sedan in quiet comfort.
This has been nicely maintained so it looks great and fires up
readily. It also has power steering, power brakes, front discs, and
a three-speed automatic transmission. It makes for the kind of
luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as far away
as you want.
Complete with owner's manual, if you love true classic American
luxury, you know this is a car you need to get your hands on right
now. Call today!!!
