With a history that dates back to 1939, the Continental was a vehicle built by Lincoln, a division of the Ford Motor Company. In fact, the inspiration behind the Continental came when Edsel Ford, president of the time, requested a specially built one-off vehicle for his vacation. All in all, the Continental saw ten generations, this car being of the very latest one. In 2019, Lincoln released a special, 80th Anniversary coach door edition, and the car featured here is 1 of just 80 of its kind in existence and comes with a special black label trim. This one-of-a-kind Continental is for sale in Colorado with under 100 miles on it.
Exterior and Interior
This special edition Continental is assembled as a standard before it's shipped off to Cabot Coach Builders where it receives a 6-inch wheelbase extension in order to accommodate its rear-hinged passenger doors. Being of the 'black label' trim, the car receives a full gloss black exterior paint which helps its massive chrome grille and other subtle exterior chrome bits to stand out. The interior is where we start to see features that are exclusive to the Continental. The mostly black color scheme is coupled with tan leather and fine wood accents, giving it a two-toned appearance. Much like the outside of the car, you are able to observe subtle chrome trim framing most interior parts to give it a little bit of oomph, but the most significant thing about the cabin of this 2019 Lincoln Continental Black Label 80th Anniversary edition is the rear passenger seating that has been designed with two individual seats and a center console coming down the middle. You will also find silver door sills with "80th Anniversary Limited Edition" engraved on them. This one bears the number 31/80.
Engine
Under the hood of this 2019 Lincoln Continential 80th anniversary edition is a punchy 3.0L Ecoboost, twin-turbocharged V6 engine that has been specifically tuned to produce 400hp to all four wheels using its 6F55 6-speed automatic transmission and sending the car from 0-60mph in around 5.5 seconds before topping out at 155mph, for stately and swift but not uncomfortable or neck-snapping performance.
The 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe embodied the pinnacle of American luxury during an era when comfort, presence, and effortless cruising defined the premium automobile experience. With its long hood, formal roofline, and unmistakable chrome-laden styling, the Town Coupe offered buyers a refined personal luxury car that excelled on the open road. Showing just 1,219 miles on the odometer, this beautifully preserved example is finished in Medium Silver Metallic with a Gray Vinyl Landau Roof over a richly appointed Dark Red interior. Powered by a smooth-running 400ci V8, it represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of Lincoln's most iconic full-size luxury coupes.
Flip through the history books of automotive, and you'll find some machines so iconic that they would never survive in today's world of making things bite-sized to suit the needs of multiple stakeholders. The 60s brought about the muscle cars, but during that time Lincoln was churning out motors that would don size and features that are otherworldly, and luxury to match. Present today is a page from the Lincoln guidebook to making a machine that turns heads and takes shape with this 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V. Hailing from Palm Desert, California and with just 48,114 miles on its clock, this is a true definition of a land yacht that has survived extinction and is ready for its new custodian.
Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand, sort of like how Cadillac is to General Motors if you will. One of their most popular models has got to be the Continental. First appearing in 1939, ten generation of the Lincoln Continental have been produced, up until as recently as 2020. Of course there have been breaks in between, but the firm consensus is, the Lincoln Continental is a mainstay of American automotive luxury. A classic Continental like this fine fourth-generation 1961 Lincoln Continental Sedan is thus a robust way to get yourself a signature American classic that everyone will be talking about. This car has 97,000 miles on the clock, comes with a 430ci V8 and a 3-speed automatic transmission. It’s based in Miami Springs, Florida and also rocks a custom two-tone interior plus some extra things. Oh, and do you know why the fourth-generation Continental looks so famous? Because it was adapted as the Presidential Car during its heyday!
