1941 Lincoln Continental Black

This luxurious, streamlined 1941 Convertible “spent it’s life in fornia,” says the seller, who purchased it in 2014. “It’s an older restoration that’s still good driver quality. In fact, while going through my paperwork recently, I realized that I’ve driven the car quite reliably for 16,000 miles during the 10 years I’ve owned it. e flies when you’re having fun!” Just 400 Convertibles were built for 1941.

• The 120-horsepower, 220-lb-ft of torque, 292-cu.in. L-head V12 “is correct, but not original to the car,” the seller informs. He has “no record of when it was last rebuilt.”
• “A bit of choke, pump the gas pedal twice, and away she goes with no smoke,” he says. “Flatheads all leak oil,” he adds.
• The three-speed manual transmission with a g- rner overdrive was rebuilt by the seller about 4-5 years ago, and it “shifts normally.”
• The rear differential was overhauled in 2012, per the included invoice, and the seller replaced an axle a few years back.
• ing to him, “Some of the black body paint appears to be original,” and “I am not aware of any rust or previous rust repairs.”
• “The electric convertible top fits well and works properly, and it’s condition matches the car’s overall [driver] condition.”
• of the glass is “decent,” the door and trunk seals are “fine,” and the exterior lighting is working. A period-correct driving light is on the front and one period correct backup light is on the rear.
• Sometime in the past, the interior upholstery was replaced with “good-quality red vinyl in the correct original patterns,” the seller points out. The trim is complete.
• All of the instruments function as designed, as do the heater and the original radio.
• The wiring harness were replaced in 2012, per the included invoice.
• “There was suspension [and brake] work done on the car shortly before I bought it (see invoice copies), and the shocks and bushings look okay,” he says.
• The four-wheel drum brakes “work properly.”
• “Decent” 16-inch steel wheels (with hubcaps and trim rings) are shod with “older” bias-ply wide-whitewall tires. DOT date codes aren’t visible in the photos.
• “With kingpins up front, and bias-ply tires, the steering keeps you on your toes,” he comments, “but this rides very smoothly.”

• A car cover is included in the sale.

• “There are obvious checks, chips, and dents,” on the body, the seller says, and he reminds, “It’s a driver.”
• “The passenger’s side door glass is cracked.”
• Some surface wear is evident on the instrument panel.
• The clock is disconnected.
• Cracks are seen in the steering wheel.
• The carpet needs to be replaced.

• The seller recalls, “I first became aware of this car in about 2013 when it was advertised for sale in fornia. The private owner didn’t sell it, so it looks like it went to a dealer in , fornia, who subsequently shipped it to Connecticut. I’m told it was sold to a judge from N C. The judge must have decided not to keep it, so I bought it in 2014 from the shop in Connecticut. A friend and I drove it back to my home in , da.”
• “I bought this car to use as a daily driver (weather permitting) while I restored another ,” he explains.
• “I have registration certificates going back to 1954.”
• “Since the other is finished, I can sell this one now.”

The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on the proper Saskatchewan, da, document in his name for transfer of ownership. He adds, “I have a copy of a repair invoice from the restoration dealer that I bought it from in 2014 showing that they did $20,000 worth of work on it. Otherwise, I have done routine maintenance on it myself as required, and I have a copy of the original build sheet from the factory.” This 1941 Convertible personal luxury car has already served its seller well for 16,000 miles over the last decade, and it appears prepared to continue to do so with a new owner at the wheel.
