A rumbling V-12 with 130-hp and 305-cid is plenty to get you cruising down the road in this elegant two-door convertible. A three-speed manual transmission allows you to shift through the gears smoothly. The ability to put the top down lets you drive effortlessly while enjoying the open road.

The robust chrome grille seems to jump off the front and the spare tire on the rear completes that classic Lincoln look. Power windows and a power top gives ease to handling this vehicle. This car has driver and passenger side rearview mirrors as well as ventilation windows.

The idea for a Lincoln Continental originated as a customized Zephyr for Edsel Ford. Later, Ford’s chief stylist Bob Gregorie brought the idea to fruition. The Continental was then introduced in 1940 and marketed to a higher end clientele. The large hood complements the styling of this personal luxury automobile.

This vehicle is painted with beautiful dark purple paint, while interior is equipped with sleek maroon upholstery. This car has everything you could want in a 1948 Cabriolet. The rear fender skirts provide a low profile while still allowing the whitewalls to shine.

This Lincoln Continental Cabriolet has many design elements that readily remind you of its sophisticated styling. It provides a smooth ride and one can take pride in its unmistakable look which is able to engage any personality.
