1948 Lincoln Continental convertible Description

99% all original one prior owner solid body and floors, no damage, engine runs great 67k miles. This is one of 452 manufactured in 1948. Original top? has the original boot and has the cover that fastens to the front seat which completely covers the rear seat and folded down top. Tonnue cover? Hydraulic windows & top work great. This is a V12 that runs great, no smoke at all and great oil pressure with 3 speed overdrive that works. It has a new radiator, hoses, brakes, muffler. Believe everything else is original. clock even works.
According to the original owner, it had a paint job (original color) quite a while ago but that's it. Has some chips on the paint as noted in pics, chrome is good some pits, interior leather is really pretty good on visors, door panels, arm rests, pulls, with the front and rear seat leather torn due to age but springs and padding fine. Very good weather stripping and glass, tight body and suspension with no rattles and smooth ride.
The items that are not perfect- the power vacuum antenna does not work, radio does not work, first gear has a "clicking" noise when accelerating and sometime pops out of gear on hard acceleration but shifts fine both up and down, will put the original wheels and hub caps on the front when sold.
For an added price, I have many spare parts including a complete V12 engine purchased from an old Ford dealership that is really nice as well as a complete new set of chrome for the body... bumpers, grille, bezels, badging etc.which I can sell with or without the car and also have a couple of radios and other items..We can discuss pricing if anyone is interested. Will also list these items separately and locally
