Overview of 1947 Lincoln 76H Series Coupe For Sale by Owner

The late 40s saw a resurgence in the American luxury car market that had almost died completely thanks to more than a decade of economic depression and World War. The post-war boom brought a wave of Cadillacs, Packards, and Lincolns re-entering the market. For the first few years after the war, most cars (especially the more expensive ones like the Lincoln Continentals) were largely similar to the pre-war models. This was due to civilian automobile production being paused after Pearl Harbor (and America’s subsequent direct involvement in WWII). In this case, the first-generation Continental had only been in production for a couple of years before being put on hold. They were offered only in 2-door form, as either a coupe or a convertible. Several changes were made when production was resumed in 1946, the most prominent being the “Zephyr” name being removed from Lincoln-Zephyr. This production run would last only a few years as well, ending in 1948. The 1949 Continental would be a fancier Mercury and not quite the expensive and exclusive personal-luxury vehicle that its predecessor was.

Exterior and Interior

This example isn’t exactly stock, but that isn’t obvious to the untrained eye, especially at first glance. The two-tone white and maroon paintwork looks period-correct, and there are no major visual changes on the exterior apart from the wire wheels. The chromework is shiny, the externally mounted spare wheel matches the body colors, and the paintwork appears to be in good shape. In fact, the current owner states that a new paint job was completed in 2018. The dashboard looks intact and original. The red interior matches the secondary (maroon) color on the exterior. It has bench seats in both the front and the rear. While this model is believed to have been offered with power windows from the factory, it is reported that this car has been fitted with electric windows. It also has an aftermarket 80s-style steering wheel that matches the interior color and a train horn.

Engine

Originally, the Continental was fitted with a 292ci flathead V12 and a 3-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports that it now has a new 454ci engine with less than 35,000 miles on it, and a new automatic transmission (making it easier to drive and, probably, to maintain as well). Considering that the original engine was reported to make around 130hp, the new drivetrain has perhaps made the car much quicker as well.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
