Grotto Blue / Red 1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet. 305ci Flathead V12, 3-speed manual transmission, factory heater/defroster, radio, fog lamps. Two owners since 1989, previously owned by SCCA Regeional Board of Managers member.
This 48 Continental is a stunning example that has been part of the collection of a CCCA Regional Board of Managers member since 2000, and it has had just two owners since 1989. It has been expertly cared for and carefully used, making only rare appearances at selected Pacific Northwest Region CCCA events, and it has never before been offered at public sale.
The car is finished in handsome Grotto Blue with red leather trimmed interior and tan soft top, and it is equipped with the optional heater/defroster, fog lamps, chrome bands, and white sidewall tires.
Under the hood the 305ci V12 is rated by the factory at 130hp and delivers near silent, turbine-smooth performance. Notably, 1948 Lincolns represent the final year any V12 was offered by an American car company, and 1948 is the latest year any Continental is accepted as a CCCA Approved Full Classic. Just 452 Continental Cabriolets were built in total for 1948.
