There was a time not too many years ago when the name of a Lincoln product told you what purpose it was built for and how and where you should use it. The Town Car nameplate is the best example of this. Before the stretch limo versions of the 2000s, this name was attached to Lincoln’s Continental line in the 1970s. Lincoln released the fifth generation Continental in 1970 and it would stay in production until 1970 with some year-by-year changes and a major facelift in 1975 (to differentiate itself from the new Mercury Grand Marquis that it shared many components with).
Exterior and Interior
The most striking aspect of this Lincoln is its mindboggling proportions. The hood alone is probably longer than most hatchbacks and parking in the city is certainly out of the question, but this is a car that one is meant to be fashionably chauffeured around in. With its chrome bumpers, large grille with the Lincoln hood ornament, protruding fenders and hidden headlights, the front end of this machine is truly impressive, especially with this black paintwork. It rides on 15” wheels with wire wheel covers and white striped tires. The rear half of the roof has a vinyl top with opera windows. The interior is also black and contains possibly the softest seats you’ll ever sit in. The overall theme of the interior is similar to an opulent drawing room, with very liberal (but tasteful) use of wood veneer with the black upholstery. Being a flagship Lincoln, it has a host of power features including power seats, power windows and power locks. It also has automatic climate control. The vast trunk hides a full-sized spare wheel (no space savers or mini pumps in these yachts).
Engine
The emissions regulations had been in effect for a few years by 1979, and as expected the horsepower ratings of this 400ci V8 (with a 2-barrel carburetor) aren’t stellar, but it had a good low rpm torque rating which results in a smooth, comfortable ride when combined with the 3-speed C6 automatic transmission that connects it to the rear wheels. Further driving convenience was provided by the power steering.
This 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible is one of the most distinctive luxury cars of its era, combining four-door convertible bodywork, rear-hinged rear doors, and unmistakable slab-sided styling with big-block V8 power.

Finished in Maroon with a Beige vinyl roof over a Dark Red leather interior, it delivers the kind of rich color combination and visual presence that made late-1960s American luxury cars so distinctive. Power accessories, air conditioning, hidden headlamps, whitewall tires, and full wheel covers complete the experience, making this Continental an appealing choice for anyone drawn to big-body American luxury with unmistakable period character.

The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history, and the later L82 cars added a stronger performance edge to the dramatic “shark” styling. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Coupe shows just 11,856 miles and is finished in Black over a reupholstered Red leather interior. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the 350ci L82 V8, 4-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, full auxiliary gauge package, and classic rear-wheel-drive layout. With its low indicated mileage, manual gearbox, and reupholstered cabin, this Corvette offers the kind of analog V8 driving experience that defines the C3 generation.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of a first-generation Camaro and pushes it deep into pro-touring territory with big-block power, a modernized chassis, and a highly customized presentation. Showing just 2,637 miles, this build combines a 502ci V8 roller motor, Richmond 6-speed manual transmission, full frame, four-link coilover suspension, narrowed 9-inch rear end, mini-tubbed rear, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Just as striking as the hardware is the custom paintwork, which pairs a vivid orange body with a black upper section and flowing flame graphics along the rear quarters. It is a bold, enthusiast-focused build that blends classic Camaro proportions with modern performance and show-car detailing.
Few Mercedes-Benz roadsters carry the same old-school grand-touring presence as the R107 560 SL. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL shows 118,121 miles and pairs its 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a classic Smoke Silver Metallic exterior, Brazil Brown leather interior, and Dark Brown convertible soft top. A body-color removable hardtop adds another layer of versatility, while period equipment including 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, burl wood trim, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control captures the character of Mercedes-Benz luxury from the era. It is a specification that combines V8 power, open-air motoring, and unmistakably traditional Mercedes styling.
