By 1941, the Model K Lincoln was gone and the Zephyr was the Lincoln. For 1942, the modernist style dictated a more massive front end and post-war tastes made it heavier still in 1946. In all, 5,324 Lincoln Continentals were built before the model was discontinued after the 1948 model year.
This 1948 Cabriolet, one of seven hundred thirty-eight built in the model’s final season, has reportedly had only three owners. The brown leather interior is original, although one has to look carefully to see the evidence, and the car is equipped with a factory power top, power windows, a radio, and a heater. This Lincoln shows barely 55,000 miles, which are believed to be original, and it has had a complete mechanical rebuild, which included the engine, drivetrain, and brakes. It is reportedly a California car, and as such, its body is un-rusted and unhurt, the contours are excellent, and the green paint is very good. The brightwork shows just minor surface scratches.
Underneath, the car is clean but not detailed. The trunk holds its original jack in a bag stenciled “Strickland Motors, Inc., Lincoln-Mercury…Indianapolis.” It is touches like these that speak volumes about authenticity.
