The lovely Lincoln Continental was completely the product of Edsel Ford instinct and talent. Where his father, Henry, demanded mechanical durability through simplicity, Edsel ford knew that great design made great cars. With handsome proportions and dashing style that culminated in the trademark rear mounted spare tire (years after such things had vanished from production cars), the Continental was a symbol of success that lasted for decades. The 1946-48 Continentals was a symbol of success that lasted for decades. The 1946-48 Continentals were also the first post-war cars included on the CCCA'S roster of full classics, indicative of their quality and trend -setting design. Today they remain very desirable cars that have found homes in the finest collections in the world.
This Lincoln Continental is mechanically sorted with a rebuilt 292 ci V12 130 Hp engine with overdrive, new wiring harness , newer paint, fresh tan leather interior, new top. This is a n excellent running and driving Lincoln. The paint has a excellent shine and the chrome and trim on the car are very nice as well. The tan leather interior is glove soft and is in excellent condition. The steering wheel is original and probably on e of the nicest you will ever see. The hydraulic power windows are fully functional as is the power top. The radio and clock look fantastic but are not functioning correctly. All of the factory gauges including the speedometer and horn function correctly along with all of the lights. This is a factory heater and defrost car. The engine was rebuilt in spring of 2013 and runs beautifully and there is a rebuilt front mounted distributor and the original generator was rebuilt and charges well thanks to a new voltage regulator. Other new equipment includes the battery, exhaust system, brakes and clutch, which connects to a 3- speed manual transmission and fully functional overdrive. Five original 15- inch steel wheels wear correct trim rings and hub caps, as well a set of Coker white wall radials. This 1947 Lincoln Continental convertible is very presentable and extremely well sorted mechanically. All the important, expensive work has been done and this is a lot of car for the money.
