This 1948 Lincoln Continental is one of 452 cabriolets built for the model year, and it was initially purchased in Richmond, California. The car wears a repaint in black over a reupholstered red leather interior, and it is powered by a 292ci V12 paired with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Features include a tan convertible soft top, 15â³ steel wheels, bright trim rings and wheel covers, hydraulic drum brakes, a hood ornament, a rear-mounted spare tire carrier, push-button door handles, rear fender skirts, an AM radio, an analog clock, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The engine and transmission were overhauled approximately 13 years ago. The car has been refinished in black and features a power-operated tan convertible soft top, a hood ornament, front vent windows, push-button door handles, rear fender skirts, chrome bumpers with overriders, and a rear-mounted spare tire carrier. In 2020 the convertible top rear hydraulic cylinders were replaced, and the control switch and hydraulic pump were rebuilt. Holes are noted in the soft top. The 15â³ wheels wear trim rings and Lincoln-script covers, and they are mounted with Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. The Continental rode on a 125â³ wheelbase, and suspension comprises transverse leaf springs front and rear. Stopping power is provided by hydraulically assisted four-wheel drums.
