Vehicle Description
How about this historic Lincoln? Coming out of the The John and
Mable Ringling Museum of Art in 2001 and into a new story, with a
new owner. Over the last 21 years, this Lincoln Continental has
seen some of Kansas City's biggest celebrities during our city's
parades. Being the parade ride of choice for figures like Kansas
City Royals Hall of Famer Frank White, MLB Hall of Famer George
Brett, Former Mayors of Kansas City and more! These Continentals
are known for their massive 12 Cylinder engines, however, in
pursuit of reliability, a Chevrolet Small Block (350 Cubic Inch) V8
found a home in the engine bay. A "Three on the Tree" manual
transmission still fits snug behind the Chevrolet engine. Features
not common in the 1940's were power windows, button-activated door
actuators, a power convertible top and this Lincoln Continental has
all of that! Not just anyone could afford a Lincoln in 1948, as
these cars were around $5,000 in a time most automobiles were
around $1,000. American Luxury is different nowadays, don't let
this piece of Lincoln history pass you by!
