1948 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet 100% Unrestored Survivor car One family owned for over 60 Years! 50,323 Miles Garage Kept from New! Best Unrestored Continental in the world! In climate control storage since 1961 1 of only 452 produced CCCA Full Classic status You are buying the best original History of this Continental The first generation Lincoln Continental of 1940-1948 brought European-inspired design elegance to the American automobile. The most famous, and certainly most widely emulated, attribute of the original Lincoln Continental was its rear –mounted, metal-Shrouded spare tire. When production resumed in 1946 following WWII, the Continental and other Lincolns generally continued the 1942 Styling, but sparkled with new, bolder grillwork that gave them more road presence. This car was acquired by the Debusk Family in the early 1950’s and remained in the family until this year (2014). It has been treated as a valued family member and was used until the elder Mr.Debusk passed away. Relegated to storage in an Estate Garage, it languished there for more than 20 years. Condition: It is hard to believe but this car is all original and looks gorgeous still. The paint is the original lacquer and it still has a mirror shine. The car has no rust or dent or scrapes. It is one of the best original survivors that I have ever been seen. The convertible top is original and has some staining and great patina. The dash board looks remarkable with beautiful paint, chrome and gauges. The steering wheel is flawless as wheel. The original leather on seats have great patina. The front seat is showing wear and rear seat is showing no wear. The only two components on this car that is none original are the tires and the carpet. All glass, headlights, chrome, fog lights etc are original. The engine paint is original and still has original tags on the engine. The registration is dated from 1961. The car is a true time capsule. Mechanically The car had all fluids flushed, the gas tank was cleaned, and lines were cleaned, the carburetor was rebuilt, New Firestone www Tires replaced the original dry rotted tires. The car started right up after sitting. The V-12 engine runs so smooth and quiet. You cannot hear it run. The transmission shifts smoothly in all gears. The car is a 3spd with overdrive transmission. The car has the original headlights and they still work. This is truly a one of kind car! The 1946-1948 Lincolns were the only Post WW II American cars powered by a V-12 engine. The Continental Cabriolet was an expensive, ultra-exclusive car of very limited production. Many were purchased new by Hollywood Celebrities. The list price for the 1948 Continental Cabriolet was $4,746—more than two and a half times the cost of that years Ford V-8 Convertible! This car comes with a lot of original documentation, black and white photos when the car was in use in the 1950’s, original owners manual, radio manual, original license certificates, and many other documents. This is an incredible opportunity to buy a very rare V-12 Continental Cabriolets. Only 452 cabriolets were built in 1948 and this has to be the best original one in the world. This car must be seen to believe the originality. Truly, a remarkable, one of a kind car!

Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
