For Sale: 1948 Lincoln Continental in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1948 Lincoln continental. The first Lincoln Continentals were factory custom rides of the wealthy and famous in the late 40s and early 50s. They pioneered and took advantage of many trends that were just developing in car culture at the time. Like lowered roof and belt lines and styling the car for length and sleekness. This green Continental is finished in an unusual shade for a Continental, with a green exterior over neutral cloth interior. The car no longer runs the original Flathead V12. Now it's powered by a 351ci V8 with a 3-speed automatic. The car runs and drives well, but it's a survivor by the definition of the word. It runs and drives, but "old car" life has clearly taken hold. The passenger window isn't working, the wipers and fuel gauge need some help as well as the original clock. That said the Continental does have working AC, and CD player with AM/FM radio. Overall, it's a solid, big classic with a lot of historical significance. A great driver or a good candidate for restoration.
