The Lincoln Continental was the flagship sedan of Lincoln, Ford Motor Company's luxury brand. Sadly, the nameplate bowed out in 2020, leaving Lincoln with an all-SUV lineup. The Continental would be around in some form or other from 1939 up until 2020, albeit with some breaks along the way. Today's 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series is from the fifth generation and is the Collector's Series special edition produced in 1979 to mark the end of the fifth generation. If you'd like to own and drive a proverbial land yacht, this car is the perfect way to do it.
Sporting a dark blue paint job, one of only four colors offered on the Collector's Edition, this 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series looks suitably lavish, even in 2023. The trick headlamp covers are present, as are wire-effect alloy wheels and the Lincoln radiator mascot standing proud. It's a long car, as, by 1979, the length was a parking spot confounding 233 inches. However, these cars aren't meant to mix with the hoi polloi but stand out on their own. Likewise, the blue interior with ample wood trim is equally lavish. It's got squishy and plush seats at the front and rear, with plenty of rear leg room to enjoy, thanks to the 127-inch wheelbase. We can see the Ford Quadrasonic Stereo radio cassette player sitting proudly in the center console, which offered individual sliders to set the front-to-rear sound balance, as well as left to right. Beneath it sits the climate control panel. As you'd expect, this car comes with air conditioning. A gaze at the driver's side door panel reveals not only power window and mirror controls but also seat controls. Automatic headlamps are present and looking at the two-spoke steering wheel, one will be pleasantly surprised to discover cruise control buttons on it. Finally, the linear, white-faced speedometer is pure class.
Our 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series land yacht is powered by a 400ci (6.6L) Cleveland V8, which, surprisingly, was the smallest engine on offer! Don't expect massive horsepower, as it's a low-revving high-torque engine that sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed C6 automatic gearbox.
Stretch limousines come in many forms: Hummers, Escalades, Chrysler 300s, and even Ford Excursions. But none are as iconic or as popular as the Lincoln Town Car. Introduced in 1998, the third-generation Town Car was the top-of-the-line model of the massively successful Panther platform Fords that dominated North America from the late '90s all the way to the early 2010s. Its lower-priced cousin, the Crown Victoria, is most commonly associated with taxi cabs and police fleets, and the more expensive Mercury Grand Marquis was popular as a personal luxury car. The Lincoln, on the other hand, was always a luxury cruiser, and it’s no surprise that it became such a popular model to convert into a stretch limo. Even in its factory form, the Town Car was everything a luxury limo was supposed to be. It had a comfortable ride, a traditional leather and wood trim interior, and an imperious profile with the Lincoln hood ornament at the front. In fact, when the third-generation Town Car went out of production in 2011, it heralded the end of the traditional body-on-frame luxury American car.
During the ‘80s, the Town Car was a trim level that signified the most luxurious and the most expensive version of the Lincoln Continental. It was then spun off to be its own model, and it was a traditional American luxury sedan in the truest sense. The focus was not to make a thrilling driving experience but to create a big sedan that was as comfortable and as smooth as possible. When the model was withdrawn, it marked the end of an era for large V8, full-size, rear-wheel drive, body-on-frame American luxury sedans that were once common. This makes this 2011 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited model a rare vehicle you can own today. Located in Nevada, this car is available for sale with 30,000 miles on its clock.

Are you interested in owning the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States in 1956? Meet the Continental Mark II. Developed as the successor to the first-generation Lincoln Continental, which got discontinued after six years of production due to World War II, the Mark II had big shoes to fill. To achieve this, the Ford Motor Company used a strict quality control program, which resulted in a number of suppliers upgrading their production standards as the Lincoln Continental Mark II was only allowed to use the highest quality materials. This particular example we have today had undergone a restoration roughly 20 years ago. A total of 33,568 miles on the odometer after restoration is reported by the current owner. We’re also told that some details are available from the restoration. Once an ultra-luxury coupe and a worldwide flagship vehicle, this is your chance to own a piece of automotive history for sale in Pacific Palisades, California.
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.
The 1960s American automotive landscape witnessed a thrilling duel between muscle cars, each manufacturer vying to set new benchmarks in performance and striking aesthetics. However, amidst the roar of muscle cars, the era also birthed iconic full-sized luxury automobiles. If you yearn to relish the opulence and grandeur of a 1960s luxury cruiser with its original splendor intact, look no further than this 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III Coupe, adorned with a reported 75,800 miles on its distinguished journey. Remarkably, this is an entirely original specimen, preserving its heritage on all fronts.
The art of cruising is one that's done best behind the wheel of a convertible, and you can always take it up a notch and opt for a classic convertible to really savor a good drive. Finding the right classic convertible can be a task, you would want the looks on point, performance that's decent and a cabin that provides comfort and aesthetic. Present today is the perfect union of what makes a great classic convertible and takes shape with this lovely 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. With a reported 33,144 miles on the clock, this isn't just a convertible built for chilled out drives, this mighty behemoth of a machine is also proper '60s muscle as well.
Every generation of Mustang is iconic, but the original is considered genesis. This is ground zero, where the entire pony car genre was born. The 1964½ Mustang, as it’s known, started production a few months before the normal 1965 model year. Although Ford officially referred to all these Mustangs as 1965 Model Year cars, there were subtle differences made to the design after August 1964. Our featured car is an early-model 1964½ and features a new paint job and a rebuilt engine. If you’re looking for the perfect entry into the world of classic Mustang ownership, this classic stallion is the perfect way to do so.
Have you ever wondered what a 1930s Chevy would be like? Well, wonder no more, because we’ve got a 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod for one lucky buyer to get their mitts on. The Chevrolet Master series was introduced in 1933 and ran until 1942. It was available as a two-door coupe, a two-door cabriolet, a two-door pickup truck and a four-door sedan. The first two body styles included an external rumble seat too, for transporting passengers whom you didn’t truly like, but couldn’t decline either. Thankfully, this particular 1939 Chevrolet Master 85 Coupe Restomod doesn’t appear to have that, and everyone sits within its protected passenger cabin. The car has undergone a full restoration, and includes a healthy dose of modern parts too, hence the restomod tag.
