1974 Lincoln Continental Town Car

Description

Yes, you are reading the mileage correctly on this one! This 1974 Lincoln Continental Town Car is an amazingly preserved machine right down to the A/C interior and 8-track stereo. And since it has averaged less than 50 miles annually (only 2,050 total!!), you know you can wow everyone with this vintage luxury survivor.

You're looking at the perfect car to be preserved for decades. This Lincoln avoided the polarizing earth-tones of the '70s, and instead it has the kind of hues that represent timeless luxury. The overall appearance has an almost European feeling to it, and best of all, we believe this is all original to the car. The Silver Blue Moondust Metallic paint still has a great luster, and the nicely coordinated blue vinyl roof is soft to the touch. Lasting over four decades with this outstanding luster means a lifetime of great care and little exposure to the elements. So, the kind of luxury you expected from Lincoln in '74 remains today. But it's more than just color that makes it distinctive. This is a year for lovers of intricate design. For example, the concealed headlight doors draw more attention the waterfall grille. There is a bright trim line that starts at the front fender and follows the sheetmetal crease all the way along the Continental's distinctive profile, and the taillight panel wraps around the rear end as an integral part of the design. It was all part of Lincoln's upper class image, so it's essential that it's all as crisp and pristine as you see on this example.

The Silver Blue leather interior is part of an expensive original option, and it has been preserved to like-new condition. After all, ultra low miles means very little seat time. So the moment you sink into the armchair-like comfort, you are transformed into a world of luxury. In fact, with the condition of the carpets, door panels, headliner, and wood paneling, it feels sophisticated and elegant – like an upscale private club. And just like the best exclusive memberships, there are plenty of perks. This includes power windows, power locks, power seats, the original AM/FM stereo with 8-track player. Even the factory air conditioning is ready to make sure you never break a sweat. The back seat is as spacious as many full-sized cars today, and the giant trunk is outfitted with more plush carpeting and a full-sized spare with its own matching cover.

Ford's smooth and refined 460 cubic inch V8 provides effortless performance in the Continental. This was in the lower compression era, and since the motor is original, that's a good thing. It means this is a survivor that's already built to handle unleaded gasoline. Plus, the big V8 retains enough torque to pull a boat. Of course, you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength that allows you to smoothly, and quickly, cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford engine looks as factory-fresh as the exterior of this sedan. In fact, as you look over all the details, there are so many original components that you even still see the factory markings. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after all, its interior is more comfortable than any movie theater seat), there's much more to the Town Car. It has power steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. This is the kind of luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as far away as you want. So while this might be the lowest mileage vintage Town Car you'll ever see, we bet you won't be able to resist adding to the odometer.

Time capsule cars are exceptionally rare. So to have an expensive luxury machine with survivor status, well, that's is a true show-stopper. You know there's nothing else like this one, so don't miss out. Call now!!
