Never has been exposed to super inclement weather conditions or salt treated roads. No rust to speak of. Well taken care of and always garaged. The motor was changed from the original Lincoln V12 to a Cadillac Straight 8 shortly after the 1954 acquisition. Didn't anticipate owning it this long or devaluing the auto as it does, but understands not being original affects the value.
Seller has a very good recollection of what has been done to auto.
Seller has been a member of the Lincoln Continental Owners Club since 1955 and has shown this vehicle many, many times in car shows across the southern central U.S. Color was changed from a forest green to the pearl white in 1970. New carpet was installed in 1969. Tires are in fair condition, wide, white-wall with the super sleek skirts on the back. Has the old fog lights, which is the only difference between the 47 and 48. The newer model 48 had no fog lights, but the new technology high beam lights.
