Today, Lincoln is Ford's luxury nameplate for luxury SUVs. This was not the case 106 years ago when it was founded as the Lincoln Motor Company by Henry Leland, the founder of Cadillac, in 1917. Their first foray was building Liberty aviation engines for the government. It was after the war that they built the Model L in 1920. And soon after, it was acquired by Ford in 1921. The first Lincoln Continental to roll off the assembly was in 1940, which continued for ten generations until its discontinuation in 2020. From 1970 to 1979, the fifth-generation Lincoln Continental was built and sold across the United States and certain parts of the world. Today's listing is a Lincoln from that generation, to be specific a 1977 Lincoln Continental with a pleasantly surprising 53,200 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
Keeping you at ease is the fact that it's reported that this 1977 Lincoln Continental is numbers matching. The seller also mentions that 1977 Continentals with sunroof have been produced in 52 units in this configuration. The Lincoln Continentals were a status symbol, as they were Ford's full-sized luxury model competing against Cadillac offerings. The car is finished in a deep maroon with a hefty amount of chrome throughout the exterior. This version of the Continental features a hidden headlight design that swivels out when switched on. Between the lights can be seen a massive and ornate chrome grille with the Lincoln hood ornament on top. The front bumper is finished in chrome, matching the grille. A thin chrome line starts from the front bumper and is interrupted by the rear wheel arch, and continues onto the rear. The rear features a toned-down approach with a thin chrome rear bumper and full-length taillight setup. The interior features the same maroon color along with a contrasting white and is reportedly all original. More chrome is visible throughout the interior while a complementing maroon and faux-wood steering wheel takes center stage.
