Vehicle Description
This 1948 Lincoln Continental coupe is a true rarity, representing
one of only 847 club coupes built in the final year of the
first-generation Continental. Its black exterior exudes a timeless
elegance that defined post-war American luxury. The 15-inch wheels,
paired with Coker Classic 7.80-15 tires, give this Continental a
commanding presence on the road. Side pipes and chrome bumpers
accentuate its sleek profile, while the vinyl top adds a touch of
refinement to this classic silhouette.
Step into a world of vintage luxury with the black and white vinyl
interior. The spacious bench seat invites you to stretch out in
comfort, while the column shifter adds a dash of nostalgia to your
driving experience. An AM/FM single CD player bridges the gap
between classic style and modern convenience. Keep an eye on your
V12's performance with the water temperature gauge cleverly mounted
under the dash. Above, a meticulously restored headliner crowns the
cabin, showcasing the attention to detail in this Continental's
preservation.
Powering this automotive icon is what's believed to be a
period-correct 292 V12 engine, mated to a smooth 3-speed manual
transmission. This drivetrain has been thoughtfully updated with
modern components to enhance reliability without compromising its
vintage character. A 12-volt electrical system, alternator, and
electric fan work in harmony to keep this classic running smoothly.
The Sanden-style air compressor is a welcome addition for those
sunny afternoon drives. Suspension duties are handled by a
transverse leaf spring up front and a solid axle in the rear,
delivering a ride that's true to the original design. When it's
time to slow down, power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums
provide confident stopping power.
