1948 Lincoln Continental Additional Info:
Lincoln Continental. Less than 500 of these were built in the last year of the 12 cylinder Continental. This beautiful car was hand made and is the last car recognized by the Classic Car Club of America as a true classic. The engine is original, but I had it rebuilt by H&;H in California. They specialize in 12 Cylinder flatheads and completely rebuilt the engine. No expense was spared and this engine now has less then 300 miles on it. The dual carburetors are Stromberg 97's which are period. The intake and heads are aluminum and will keep the engine cooler while allowing dual carbs. I have and will include the original heads, intake, and Air Filter with the car should the new owner want it back to pure stock. It is still 6V and starts like every 6 volt. I've got a trickle charger mounted behind the battery. The Tires are brand new. I'm putting in a fuel regulator to better tune the Strombergs and while there is an electric fuel pump mounted in the back of the car, I'm working to not need it except for startup. The interior is beautiful leather. Paint is exceptional. This car isn't perfect, but it's only been to one car show and took best in show. As with all antique cars, sold as is. Buyer is responsible for transportation. Car was running last month and drove nicely.
