1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car

Description

The bright paint, road-owning size, and desirable big V8 all remind you that the 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car is a true classic premium cruiser. And when the presentation is loaded in such a well-preserved package, it feels like driving a luxury time capsule.

The bright white paint announces the white-glove treatments. After all, Lincoln has always been a premium nameplate, but not all of them were created equal. The Town Car trim on the Continental was the top of the line. This optional package is where you get the details that really impress, like the coordinating coach roof. Both this half-vinyl top and the full white paint look exceptional. And what's even more impressive is that we're hard-pressed to find anything that has been replaced on this classic. It has the look of a well-respected survivor, and that means owning this Town Car is a well-established status symbol. These really knew how to own the road with a premium look of hidden headlights, a Rolls-Royce inspired grille, and bright wraparound bumpers. Plus, the red pinstripes add the right amount of bright color while still keeping a timeless premium appeal.

The hint of red on the outside is actually a preview of the full red inside. And only a 1970s Lincoln can deliver such a bright style with such a sophisticated tone. Two rows of pillow-top velour seats prove that this sedan is more comfortable than some people's living rooms. In fact, a full-size car in the 1970s means you also have more room than some people's homes! That's how you define classic American luxury, and so this is a sedan that family and friends will love to go for a ride. But even when you're just going solo, this Town Car is great. The individual armrests up front and power driver's seat mean you can easily set your individual level of comfort. The opulent dash is built around you with an easy reach to the power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, remote mirror control, and air conditioning now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant. And it makes sure to deliver a true vintage experience with details like the AM/FM stereo with 8-track and the full courtesy light package that greets you when you open the door.

The engine bay continues the time capsule style, including the correct-displacement 400 cubic-inch powerplant. It's related to the high-performance Cleveland V8s that went into legendary muscle cars. But in this larger displacement, it was refined to deliver the necessary torque to move this large sedan in quiet comfort. This has been nicely maintained so it looks great and fires up readily. Plus, there has even been a recent investment in new front-end components and shocks. So this one rides like a proper Lincoln cloud. It also has power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission. It makes for the kind of luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.

A car this unique also needs the right paperwork, and so the sale comes complete with the original bill of sale, warranty card, owner's manual, maintenance records, and even sales literature. So if you love true classic American luxury, you know this is a car you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
