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.

The 1983 Lincoln Continental Mark VI Coupe was once the flagship of the entire Ford Motor Company model line. Brought to life by designer John Aiken, the Continental Mark VI was produced from 1980 to 1983 and was assembled at the Ford Wixom Assembly Plant in Michigan alongside the Lincoln Continental and Town Car. In comparison to its sizable predecessor, the Mark V, the Mark VI was manufactured 800 pounds lighter and nearly 14 inches shorter. This car also housed the first Ford V8 produced with throttle-body fuel injection that offered similar performance to the bigger 5.8L Windsor V8. This 1983 Lincoln was one of the first cars with several features that are commonplace today such as a keyless entry system, digital instrumentation, and a trip computer. That odometer has clocked 58,000 miles on this particular model. So, this is your chance to experience the prominent luxury of the early ‘80s in this rich historic world of four-wheeled machines.

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 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
