Description
Very few cars caused as much sensation when introduced, as the 1940 Lincoln Continental. It was quite simply a car with such a timeless and elegant design that its style is not lost, even in the present day. Lincoln produced only 351 Continental cabriolets in their introductory year and this one is undoubtedly one of the finest examples in existence. It wears an older restoration that still presents in excellent fashion. Finished in its original color of Arabian Sand with Saddle leather interior, this stunning Lincoln will turn heads wherever it goes. This Continental is fitted with a mighty 292 cubic-inch V-12 engine, rated at 120 horsepower. Maintenance of this grand Lincoln has always been very meticulous and its attention to detail is clearly evident throughout. The rarity and beauty of this fine automobile allows it to make a very impressive statement in any world class collection.
