This 1948 Lincoln Continental coupe is a true rarity, representing one of only 847 club coupes built in the final year of the first-generation Continental. Its black exterior exudes a timeless elegance that defined post-war American luxury. The 15-inch wheels, paired with Coker Classic 7.80-15 tires, give this Continental a commanding presence on the road. Side pipes and chrome bumpers accentuate its sleek profile, while the vinyl top adds a touch of refinement to this classic silhouette. Step into a world of vintage luxury with the black and white vinyl interior. The spacious bench seat invites you to stretch out in comfort, while the column shifter adds a dash of nostalgia to your driving experience. An AM/FM single CD player bridges the gap between classic style and modern convenience. Keep an eye on your V12's performance with the water temperature gauge cleverly mounted under the dash. Above, a meticulously restored headliner crowns the cabin, showcasing the attention to detail in this Continental's preservation. Powering this automotive icon is what's believed to be a period-correct 292 V12 engine, mated to a smooth 3-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain has been thoughtfully updated with modern components to enhance reliability without compromising its vintage character. A 12-volt electrical system, alternator, and electric fan work in harmony to keep this classic running smoothly. The Sanden-style air compressor is a welcome addition for those sunny afternoon drives. Suspension duties are handled by a transverse leaf spring up front and a solid axle in the rear, delivering a ride that's true to the original design. When it's time to slow down, power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drums provide confident stopping power.
