1968 Lincoln Continental Sedan Survivor One Family Owned Over 40 Years on 2040-cars

Car is black with a black vinyl top and has red leather interior.

It still has the original hub caps on P235X75X15 tires.

It has the famous doors with the rear ones opening from the front.

It was garaged since purchased until recently. Floors are solid.

You may not be able to see them but there are ground straps under the car that have been there since it was purchased by the current owner's mother back in 69 or 70. At that time the car had 20K miles on it. The car dealer told them the car was owned by a railroad executive and the car had a phone with a large box in the trunk. The ground straps were needed for it. 

She's a beauty - trunk opens and closes easily as does the hood.
