1948 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL - VERY RARE CONTVERTIBLE MODEL

Filmed in a museum where all vehicles are cordoned off, here lies a splendid post war example Lincoln. Developed from 1939 through 1948, the first-generation Lincoln Continental was interrupted in production by World War II, where no automobiles were produced by any American auto makers between the years of 1942-1945. With its return to production in 1946, the Continental was revised with subtle changed to both the style, but also to the vulnerable V12 engine. The former 292 cubic inch V12 engine received several improvements that included high-capacity oil pumps, cast iron heads, and stronger internals all to improve cooling capacity and longevity of the engine overall, and provide extra horsepower. These H-Series Continentals produced from1946-1948 are considered the most collectible of the 1st generation for this reason. The entire selection of Lincoln-Zephyr V12 powered Continentals are recognized by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) as a Full Classic, making them one the last, and youngest, to ever be considered by the club. This 1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet finished in Pace Car Yellow over Cinnamon Leather interior with new Tan Stayfast canvass convertible and matching boot cover. Options include AM radio with vacuum antenna, 15 steel wheels fitted with Firestone Deluxe Champion 4-ply wide whitewall tires, fog lamps, continental spare tire, rear fender skirts, locking glove box & trunk, dash clock, hydraulic power top & windows, under seat heaters & windscreen defrost, front & rear bumper guards with wing tips, dual outside mirrors, and more ! The '48 Continental came in a club coupe with 847 copies and a base price price of $ 4,662, while this convertible coupe is 1 of only 452 copies with a base price of
$ 4.746. An extraordinary example of a rare post war offering, a car dreamed by Edsel Ford, that looked stunning then as it does today. Thanks for viewing.
