Vehicle Description
A truly outstanding example with 29,000 miles. 1977 Continentals are uniquely special as it is the first year for the tall vertical grille and the last year for the low rear fender skirt and the “rolling speedometer” which first appeared on the 1966 Continentals. This particular Town Car was ordered without the opera window option which is the way Lincoln chose to configure all the special Collector’s Series in 1979. A Lincoln star emblem is affixed to the sail panel in place of the window. The result is a more formal look.
This is a high option example finished in a very unique color combination. The exterior color is Cream (paint code “6P”), the optional coach roof is Cordovan with a matching painted pinstripe. The interior is Cordovan velour (code “JF”). Optional equipment includes the 460 cubic inch V8, power door locks, power vent windows, quadrasonic 8 track tape player, dual power seats with passenger recliner, tilt steering wheel, rear defogger with heated driver side view mirror, polished aluminum wheels with matching spare and original Michelin tire, speed control, dual illuminated vanity mirrors, appearance protection group which includes color-keyed floor mats and door edge guards, and interval select wipers. This car has been in the collection of a fussy collector so all options work as new, including the Cartier-signed digital clock. Tires are excellent original style Michelin X radials. Car rides and drives as new with ice cold air conditioning, and all service is up-to date.
