Vehicle Description
This 1972 Lincoln Continental Town Car is about paying a little and
getting a lot. It's a survivor-grade luxury sedan that provides
effortless power from the original 460 V8, incomparable ride
quality, and a bigger-than-life persona.
The appeal here is as clear as black & white, literally. This
Lincoln avoided the polarizing earthtones of the '70s, and instead
it has the kind of hues that represent timeless luxury � we even
believe much of this paint is original to the car. Lasting over
four decades with this kind of luster means a lifetime of great
care. The white still has a porcelain-like quality, and the luxury
vinyl roof is complete and soft to the touch. So, the kind of
luxury you expected from Lincoln in '72 remains today. But it's
more than just color that makes it distinctive. This is a year for
lovers of intricate design. For example,the headlight doors match
the grille to give this executive sedan a sporty appeal. There is a
bright trim line that starts at the front fender and follows the
sheetmetal crease all the way along the Continental's distinctive
profile. And because it was built before new bumper laws, they fit
flush with the body as an integral part of the design. It was all
part of Lincoln's upper class image, so it's essential that it's as
all as crisp and pristine as you see on this example.
The black leather interior is part of an expensive original option,
and it has been preserved to like-new condition. So the moment you
sink into the armchair-like comfort, you are transformed into a
world of luxury. In fact, with the condition of the carpets, door
panels, headliner, and wood paneling, it feels sophisticated and
elegant � like an upscale private club. And just like the best
exclusive memberships, there are plenty of perks. This includes
power windows, power locks, power seats, the original AM/FM stereo
radio, and factory air conditioning. The back seat is as spacious
as many full-sized cars today, and the giant trunk is outfitted
with more plush carpeting and a full-sized spare with its own
matching cover.
Ford's smooth and refined 460 cubic inch V8 provides effortless
performance in the Continental. This was the beginning of the lower
compression era, and since the motor is believed to be original,
that's a good thing. That means it's a survivor that's built to
handle unleaded. Plus, the big V8 retains enough torque to pull a
boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this
big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength that
allows you to smoothly, and quickly, cruise away from the
stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford
engine looks as factory-fresh as the exterior of this sedan. What
you don't see is a new exhaust system that keeps this luxury
machine remaining whisper quiet. While this is the perfect car for
the drive-in (after all, its interior is more comfortable than any
movie theater seat), there's much more to the Town Car. It's got
power steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic
transmission. This is the kind of luxury that can easily take you
in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.
Complete with owner's manual, the kind of vintage luxury that you
