The Lincoln Continental Town Car, Lincoln’s flagship model, has been known as one of Ford’s most luxurious makes. The 1979 Continental is the last year in the fifth generation of these Town Cars. The 1970-1977 models all have the same basic dash design. In 1978, Lincoln modified its dashboards with a softer version of the contemporary Mercury Marquis dash. The design of the 1979 dashboard definitely resembles the previous years, but the applique was changed to an all-faux wood style. By 1979, the Continental measured 233 inches in length and weighed at least 4,900 pounds. After General Motors downsized all their full-size vehicles for 1977, the Continental became the largest automobile produced worldwide at the time, beaten only by limousines such as the Cadillac Fleetwood 75, Mercedes-Benz 600 and Rolls-Royce Phantom VI. The 460-CID V8 was also the largest engine in any production car worldwide from 1977 to 1978. The 1979 Lincoln was the last full-size model because federal regulations required specific fuel economy standards. This flagship Lincoln MotoeXotica acquired was a trade-in by the original owner in 2003 with only 13,000 miles. It was sold to the next owner who only drove 1,200 miles a year on the car for the last 10 years. This Town Car is truly a time capsule. Even today, this Lincoln Continental runs as if it’s only been on the road for a few years. This auto has only 25,310 actual miles, and the beautiful, two-tone Light Apricot Metallic and Cordovan Metallic exterior is the original paint. It looks nearly as good as Day 1 because the previous owner said this car was always garaged and never even driven in bad weather. Under the hood, the engine is a 6.6 L, 400-CID V8, unique for the 1979 Town Car model. The original interior is a gorgeous Dark Cordovan leather with all the gauges, lights and wipers functional. The vinyl top is a Light Cordovan with rich Valino Coach grain. All the original gauges and lights work; the wipers and horn are operable, and the A/C works if you’re feeling a little warm. This car comes loaded with its factory power options including power steering and brakes. The VIN is 9Y82S708030. The next owner of this classic will feel like they’re the first one to drive it off the factory line. Don’t miss this opportunity to own and drive the last of the full-size Lincoln Town Cars with MotoeXotica’s ’79 Lincoln Continental. This car wants an owner as original as it is! GET OUT AND DRIVE.
