Car description

1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible 12 cylinder with 3 spd manual transmission and equipped with over-drive. This model car is recognized as a "Full Classic" by the Classic Car Club of America, ne of the last built cars to be so recognized. It is one of 452 built in 1948, he last year of this car and the last of the American V-12s. Exterior color is Pace Car Yellow and interior color is Oxblood. I am selling my stepfather's Lincoln for him here on eBay and it is located in Rhode Island for viewing. The car is an extremely solid and complete example that runs and drives well, ut has an older restoration that will need attention if you wish to have a show car. It is a decent and presentable car as is, ut does have a few cosmetic and mechanical flaws. The car sits on a much older frame up restoration and seems to have never had any rot or corrosion. It is very straight and has had a lot of recent service. He purchased the Lincoln from a long-term owner in Texas five years ago. The previous owner indicated that in its prime the car was a 100 point car. Recent items done by my stepfather include four new Lester tires, new convertible top, il pump rebuild, arburetor tune and rebuild, ll tune up parts, heel cylinders and complete tuning. The body is in excellent condition, ut the paint is the cars biggest flaw. The lacquer has various cracking throughout. There are also some nicks and chips on the car. The driver door has some sagging issues and has rubbed the lower sill. The chrome and stainless are in fantastic condition and have recently won Best Chrome trophies at local car shows. The interior is presentable and complete but is showing slight wear and the carpets could use a good cleaning or replacement. The convertible top hydraulic system will need attention and currently requires two people to raise and lower. As of last week the passenger side window is struggling to rise out of the door. He has also brought both side skirts to be repainted as one was chipped real bad and the other was showing a lighter color. Mileage shows 03595 which we believe is the miles completed since restoration years ago. The radio seems to work, ut the clock does not. He is currently trying to locate a much better condition steering wheel. The undercarriage is in rather clean condition as seen in the pictures but is not concourse worthy.

Vehicle is available for inspection in RHODE ISLAND, highly recommend seeing the car before you purchase because this is an auction and the winning bidder is the new owner. I adhere to all eBay rules and regulations and any false bidders not willing to follow through with the sale will be referred to eBay and action taken. Thank you in advance for your inquiry. Please contact me with any further questions.
