1940 was the first year of the Lincoln Continental. Edsel Ford studied the European luxury cars. returned to the states and directed the design and construction of a 1 off prototype of the Lincoln Continental in 1939. He took the prototype to his winter home in Florida where it created quite a sensation. Lincoln went into limited production of this car in 1940. There were less than 300 Lincoln Continental Convertibles produced in 1940. This car is one of them. Lincoln went to great length to put these cars into the hands of famous people including celebrities. sports figures. successful business people. etc. This car is a survivor. It runs quite well.
