With its return to production in 1946, the Continental was revised with subtle change to both the style, but also to the vulnerable V12 engine. The former 292ci 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 from 1946-1948 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. We are excited to offer this 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible finished in most desired Black over original Red Leather interior with a brand new Tan Stayfast canvass convertible and matching boot cover! Powered by its original 292ci V12 Lincoln-Zephyr power plant producing an estimated 130 horsepower and 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this wonderful example runs as smooth as it looks! Features include AM radio with fender antenna, fog lamps, cowl vent, dual outside rearview mirrors, 15"i? 1/2 steel wheels fitted with Remington Cushion Aire Poly-4 wide whitewall tires, new rear fender rock guards, continental spare tire, rear fender skirts, locking glove box, dash clock, hydraulic power top and windows, heater/defrost, front & rear bumper guards, carpeted trunk, and more! This beautiful example was located in Pennsylvania were it has been garage kept & maintained since a basic cosmetic restoration in approximately 2009. It recently received a complete fuel system cleaning with rebuilt fuel pump & Holley 94 carburetor, all new convertible soft top and boot cover, all new fluids; fresh clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing; brake master cylinder, and rebuilt overdrive components! It now starts, runs, and drives with ease! The exterior paint was fully refinished several years ago & beautifully polished by our staff, and the engine bay has been detailed! Whether the top is up or down, it shows extremely well from all angles! The chassis and undercarriage are in solid condition and present very well, although it remains original. The chrome also presents as original and appears in good to very good condition overall. The mileage showing on the odometer reads 49,771 miles which the St. Louis Car Museum believes to be actual based on the overall condition, but we do not have enough documentation to support an original mileage claim. We invite prospective buyers to come and view this auto in person or to call with additional questions. This represents a great opportunity to own a first generation Continental and one of the last V12 powered cars produced by any American auto manufacturer! Thanks for looking!
