Continental Town Car, finished in its factory color Cream (68) and

tan/light chamois tone. The look is classic late-'70s Lincoln,
formal without being flashy, and it's complemented by a Chamois
leather interior featuring the signature "Loose Pillow" style
seating that made these cars feel more like a rolling living room
than a typical sedan.Highlights:- Southern California Car-

oval opera window set into the C-pillar, complete with the Lincoln
star etching, a small detail that instantly places this car in its
era, when comfort and presence mattered just as much as
performance. This example has spent its life in Southern California
and has remained under long-term ownership for over 40 years, which
shows in how complete the car presents today.1978 was among the
final years Lincoln offered the big 400 cu-in (6.6-liter) V8,
making this Town Car part of the last generation of truly
large-displacement American luxury sedans before downsizing became
the norm. Whether you're a classic car enthusiast or simply someone
who appreciates comfortable, old-school American luxury, this
Continental offers style, history, and presence without trying to
be something it's not, is also mechanically sound. For $13,500
