This was built on June 30th, 1967, and was bought through the Home Office as a reserved example.  This Lincolns first owner was Frank Anderson of Paradise Valley, AZ who passed away in 1978.  It was stored away until the house was sold in March of 1986 to its second family of owners having accumulated 57,871 miles from new.  The second family enjoyed the Lincoln for the next 22 years selling it to its present owner on February 13th, 2008, having accumulated 65,504 miles from new.  The Lincoln has been part of a large collection of collector cars in Scottsdale, AZ.

The exterior is in very nice condition with one repaint in its original White (Paint Code M) that has excellent shine and luster.  The chrome and stainless are in very good to excellent condition.

The interior is in nearly new condition in its original Black Cloth and Balck Vinyl (Trim Code 1A).  The upholstery is in excellent condition and appears as new.  The black carpeting also looks nearly as new with little to no wear shown, which one would expect for a 68,000-mile example.  The steering wheel and dashboard have no cracks and look great.  The chrome on the interior is in excellent condition as is the wood trim.  The AM-FM radio and power antenna as well as the clock appear to not be working correctly.  The air conditioning blows nice and cold even in 100-degree weather.  Overall, the interior is in excellent original condition.

The engine compartment has been detailed and is largely original and in very nice condition.  The 462 cid engine is very powerful and smooth.  The air conditioning compressor is new, and the system works great.  There are no known mechanical issues and this Continental drives beautifully.

This Continental comes complete with an owner’s manual, the original factory build sheet and receipts dating back to the 1980’s.

For more information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.  This Continental is available for inspection at our showroom in Phoenix.  We are pleased to coordinate inspections, and we help coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing.

This is one of just 452 Lincoln Continental Convertibles build in 1948.  This Lincoln was completed on February 20^th, 1948 at the Lincoln Motor Company plant in Detroit, Michigan.  It was then shipped on February 23 to the selling dealer.  From this Lincolns overall condition, it was likely thoroughly restored about 20 years ago.  Overall, this is a wonderful mid-range quality restoration that now shows some age.  This really makes it ideal for weekend use, touring and regional concours events.

The livery looks terrific in Sea Gull Gray that has very nice shine and luster.  There are small imperfections such as touched up chips, etc., but only visible upon close inspection.  The chrome and stainless steel are in overall very good condition, with only a couple of small imperfections on the front bumper which are visible upon close inspection.  The black canvas power convertible top has red piping which contrasts beautifully with the Sea Gull Gray paint.  The top has no rips or tears but shows some minimal wear and is in overall nice condition. We love the fender skirts, spotlight, integrated fog lights, push button door openers and the hood ornament with the gold-plated base.

The Burgundy leather interior is in very good to excellent condition.  The leather looks just right and is soft and supple.  The seats are very comfortable, and the burgundy carpeting is in very nice condition.  The power windows and power convertible top work well.  The interior chrome and instruments all look nice and work well.  The AM radio has been upgraded to also allow for FM.  The clock is not working.

The venerable 292 CID V12 is mated to its three-speed with overdrive transmission.  The performance is very nice with smooth power and acceleration.  The ride is very smooth and comfortable.  The engine compartment is well detailed and appropriate for most regional shows.

The post 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible appeared first on Classic Promenade.

HISTORY- Mr. F. Joseph Hoyt of Port Orchard sold this Lincoln to Mr. Stanley Jason on July 7th, 1983.  At that time, the Continental had accumulated a mere 48,078 miles.  Mr. Jason used the Continental sparingly as it was part of a collection of about ten cars, all milestone and special interest, low-mile cars.  Mr. Jason lived in Indianola, WA until about 1995 when he moved to Arizona.  It remained in his collection through today and is being offered on behalf of his estate.  It has now accumulated 53,175 miles and is well documented with a stack of receipts.

EXTERIOR- The livery is stunning in a medium burgundy metallic.   The repaint was performed in about 1984 and today has brilliant shine and luster, but has many areas where the paint has normal lacquer cracking.  It remains highly serviceable and the cracking is only noticeable upon close inspection.  In the shade and evening light, it appears to be a medium burgundy metallic.  In the direct sunlight the paint transforms into a beautiful red.  The chrome and stainless trim are gorgeous and reflective of a car that has been garaged and well-loved.  There are a couple of small dings and light scratches in the stainless from normal use.  Remember, this is a survivor with one repaint from 1984!!  We believe that the convertible top is the original from the factory, and while not perfect, is in remarkable condition.

INTERIOR- The interior features its original red leather interior and its original plush red carpeting.  Both remain in very nice condition and look stunning when contrasted with the original light finished wood trim that surrounds the interior of this Lincoln.  The red dashboard is in excellent condition and the faux wood grained steering wheel and dashboard are without any cracking or issues.  The carpet has some fading (and would be a great candidate for dye since it shows little wear) and the leather has light normal age creases, but overall the interior is a beautiful completely original interior.

MECHANICAL- The venerable 430 CID V8 was completely rebuilt, resealed and detailed in May of 2004 with less than 1,000 miles added since.  All ancillary systems were rebuilt or replaced at that time, including motor mounts, hoses, water pump and power steering unit.  The Lincoln runs and drives very well today.  The engine produces 300 hp and the three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly.  With the shorter 123-inch wheelbase, the Lincoln is relatively easy to drive in modern traffic.

OPERATIONS- All the windows, power convertible top raise and lower well.  The convertible top mechanisms were rebuilt in 2003 and the convertible top is thought to be its original from the factory.  The original AM radio works but the power antenna is not operating.  The 154-point inspection report is available on our classicpromenade.com website.

For valuation purposes, the Hagerty Value Guide shows the No. 2 value at $75,300 and the No. 3 value at $48,500.  This would be considered a 2 minus to 3 plus given its condition, originality and provenance.  This Lincoln comes complete with its Owner’s Manual and nearly 40 years of service history.

For more details and information, please call, text or email Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Lincoln is in our Phoenix showroom.

Featured in a beautifully prepared black livery with a correct power black Haartz cloth convertible top with red piping, this has the right look. The chrome is gorgeous and the new wide white wall radials set it off! Nearly everything about this car would fool most collectors as being totally stock. The owner has been asked by the CCCA to show the car at their events!

The red leather is of high quality and correct for the car. There has been tastefully installed an Alpine stereo and CD changer in the dashboard.

We think this would be the ultimate classic to drive to work on Fridays and enjoy over the weekend. It is incredibly easy to drive and feels like a classic in every way, except the throaty burble from the exhaust. It has benefited from the installation of modern oil pressure and temperature gauges and uses the original voltage and fuel gauges.

The previous owner enjoyed the Lincoln for at least 20 years, and was likely the person responsible for the beautiful restoration. Unfortunately, we don’t know the detailed history for the car, as it was purchased at an auction a couple of years ago. But we can see the quality of the restoration. It would make sense that this was a full correct restoration and we bet the very temperamental original V12 engine failed and the owner decided to make it dependable with the installation of the 350 V8. Nothing else makes sense.

The post 1941 Lincoln Continental Convertible appeared first on Classic Promenade.

The father of the owner acquired this Continental in Southern California in 1963. Photos reveal that this motorcar was a rust-free and thoroughly complete original car. We have included numerous copies of the photos of the “Before”, “During” and “After” that document the thoroughness of the restoration. The restoration was performed by Murray Motor Car in Monroe, WA. In total, the Murray brothers restored four Classic Era motorcars for the family. Their work quality speaks for itself and is absolutely breathtaking. Using CCCA or concours judging, this would average about 97 to 98 points and could easily perform better with minor detailing.

The exterior body and paint are excellent in every respect. The maroon livery is beautiful and is thoroughly wet sanded and polished for show. The chrome on this Lincoln is gorgeous! The 1940 Lincoln Continental is definitely one of the best designs of the pre-War period. The lines of the car are perfect from front to back. The convertible top is finished in tan Haartz cloth.

The interior is replete with a light tan leather that is as soft and supple as if it were installed yesterday. There is no evidence of wear or use anywhere in the interior. All the instruments are as-new and work well except the clock, which is presently non-operational. The gas gauge may or may not be functional as it has limited fuel in the tank. We love the art deco inspired dashboard. The only blemish inside is a crack in the top portion of the steering wheel hub.

The Lincoln powertrain is the 12-cylinder engine with power delivered by three-speed manual transmission. It has an Eldelbrock manifold and twin carburetors that were installed shortly after it was new that really add to its performance. And it looks and sounds great, too. This example drives as-new in every respect. It is without rattles and vibrations, accelerates well, brakes well and performs as it should. The engine compartment is very well detailed. The chassis is beautifully detailed and is better than it ever was when new.

For more information, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. The Lincoln is available for inspection at our Phoenix, AZ showroom.

The Castilian Gold metallic (Paint Code I) is truly exceptional and is ready for serious concours competition. It is rare that someone invests in a bare metal respray, but this car benefited from this investment. Ensuring that this paint will last for decades. Much of the chrome is original and there are a few areas where you can see wear from decades of polishing. But the exterior is really beautiful.

The black leather interior (Trim Code 86) is original and is in excellent condition throughout. With 41,000 miles of use from a petite older woman owner, there are no signs of wear. The steering wheel, pedals, seats, armrests, etc., all appear to be new. Only the normal age creases in the leather are visible. The leather is soft and supple. The ample use of wood is in beautiful condition and accents the black leather perfectly.

We had the pleasure of driving the Continental about 20 miles to our showroom. It is a pleasure to drive. The air conditioning, power antenna, radio and instruments all work as they should. If you notice in the photos, the ride height on this Lincoln is just right. Most examples have sagging springs whereas this has just the right ride and height. The venerable 430 CID engine is smooth and quiet and the 300 hp is more than sufficient to provide an exhilarating but luxurious driving experience.

The Hagerty price guide shows the No. 1 value to be $42,900. We have this priced right and expect this to find a new owner quickly.

The post 1958 Lincoln Continental Convertible appeared first on Classic Promenade.

This Continental was a California car since new. According to factory documents, it was assembled on March 17, 1947 as a special order by Tupman Motors in Long Beach, CA, with a shipping date of March 20, 1947. There is reason to believe that this Lincoln was ordered for MGM Studios. It was then bought circa January of 1949 by Mr. Armand Garino, who was an MGM studio employee. Mr. Garino kept the car until after 1963 when, according to our records, he suspended the registration. At that time Mr. Garino lived in Tahoe Valley, CA. We next have annual California DMV registrations from 1972 until 1985, while it was owned by Mr. Albert Joseph Divittorio of Placerville, CA. On June 24th, 1989, the Lincoln was bought by WIlliam Bowman of Placerville, CA.

Mr. Bowman set out on a complete and thorough rotisserie restoration that was documented in its entirely in photos. But before the restoration, he researched the car and the details for five years. The actual restoration was from 1991 through about 1995. The work quality speaks for itself and is absolutely beautiful. Using CCCA or concours judging, this would average about 94 to 96 points and could easily perform better with minor detailing.

The exterior body and paint are very nice in every respect. There are a few areas where the paint has been touched up. The Lincoln Maroon livery is beautiful and is polished for show. The chrome on this Lincoln is gorgeous! The 1947 Lincoln Continental is definitely one of the best designs of the early post-War period. The lines of the car are perfect from front to back. The canvas convertible top is finished in tan Haartz cloth. The canvas has many small imperfections from where the top folds down, which is normal from use. The power top works well and overall is very well done. The top boot also fits well.

The interior is replete with a saddle tan leather that is as soft and supple as if it were installed yesterday. There is almost no evidence of wear or use anywhere in the interior. All the instruments are as-new and work well. We love the art deco inspired dashboard.

The Lincoln powertrain is the 12-cylinder engine with power delivered by three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. And it looks and sounds great, too. This example drives as-new in every respect. It is without rattles and vibrations, accelerates well, brakes well and performs as it should. The engine compartment is very well detailed, albeit with some liberties taken to make it look sharp and perform well. It has extra long trumpet horns installed that sound like a locomotive. The chassis is beautifully detailed and is ready for show.

Having the original V-12 with three speed manual and overdrive, this Lincoln drives beautifully.  We toured through Wine Country in 90 degree F weather with no issues at all.  Great oil pressure and the motorcar ran cool.  With little effort this would be a terrific CCCA CARavan tour car.  As a CCCA Full Classic this can participate in many events world-wide.

It was likely repainted, reupholstered with a new top and engine rebuild in the late 1960’s and therefore has almost original patina today.  This would be an ideal car to enjoy as is and improve it over time or embark on a full restoration.  It is nearly rust free (as you would expect from a California car).  Of the 400 convertibles made in 1941, this has to be one of the few remaining survivors.

The first owner, General Thomas O. Hardin, of the Lincoln enjoyed it until 1954.  He was an Air Force General serving in WWII and a very early LCOC member (LCOC Member No. 251).  The second owner, Marion Scott, had the car from 1954 to 2007.  Mr. Scott showed the car throughout the San Diego area and amassed numerous trophies (included in the photo gallery and included with the purchase of the car).  The third owner, Paul Katson, had it from 2007 to 2012. The last First Place trophy from the LCOC is from 1979.

Included with the car are a comprehensive collection of registration cards and receipts from 1954 until present.

The Continental was considered a sub-series of the Zephyr and shared its 292 cubic-inch, 120 horsepower V-12 with aluminum heads.  The Continental and Zephyr shared the same 125-inch wheelbase, though styling was similar yet distinct. Priced at $2,926 it cost twice that of a Zephyr. Frank Lloyd Wright said the Continental was ‘the most beautiful car he had ever seen.’ John Steinbeck said that no other car ‘so satisfied my soul.’ Time magazine would ultimately put the Continental on its list of 100 best-designed commercial products of all-time.

It is very rare to see the Continental Cabriolets.  It is even more rare to see them in such original condition.  For more details please contact Harry Clark at 602.245.7200 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.

The post 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, Three Owners, Survivor! appeared first on Classic Promenade.

With only 2,195 Mark IV convertibles made these have become very rare in recent years, especially one restored to this degree of dedication.  This car is as well equipped as you can get.  It has a new convertible power operated top, power brakes, power steering, six way power seat, power windows, power vent windows, power rear window, power antenna, factory air-conditioning, beautiful new red and white leather interior, new carpeting, side skirts, town and country radio and the magnificent 430 cubic inch V8 engine delivering 350 horse power.

With a 131” wheelbase, this is the largest production car produced in America in 1959 and drives accordingly, very smooth.  As you might imagine, this model was a favorite of the celebrities back in the 50’s , in fact singer Neil Young still has his today.

A unique feature in 1959 on this car is the hard top look of the convertible top and the amazing way it goes up and down.  A single control quickly converts this magnificent convertible from a closed to an open car.  A motor driven rear deck opens wide.  The rigid metal-framed rear window of solid glass (retractable with top) slides down and out of sight.  The soft top folds away and the deck panel silently closes, leaving the smooth unbroken lines of a large sports car with none of the usual cloth piled behind the rear seat.  To return the top to its closed position requires but another touch.  It even locks itself in place on the windshield mounts, automatically….a feature exclusively for the continental convertibles in 1959.

The values of these Continental convertible coupes have held strong in recent years. RM auction sold a comparable 1960 convertible from the Cappy Collection in 2006 for $145,750. We offer here a tremendous value for a car that represents Americana. This will undoubtedly prove to be an appreciating investment for its next owner.

The NADA value for this motorcar is as follows: Click Here

The motorcar offered here is ready for showing or touring.
