This 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III convertible is one of a reported 3,048 examples built for the model year and was acquired by the seller in February 2020. It is powered by a 430ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in black over red, black, and white upholstery. Features include a power-operated white convertible top, a power-retractable rear window, and power-assisted steering and brakes as well as a push-button Town and Country AM radio, an automatic headlight dimmer, a power-adjustable front bench seat, and power windows and door locks.

The white convertible top features a retractable rear window as well as gold Continental logos on the sail panels, and the hydraulic cylinders and hoses are said to have been replaced under current ownership. Additional details include rear fender skirts, Continental III badging, and chrome bumpers and trim. Convertible top parade covers are included in the sale. The side-view mirror is worn, the windshield is chipped, and the windshield wipers are inoperative. Steel 15″ wheels wear polished covers with Continental logos and are mounted with 235/75 Firestone FR721 whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. The bench seats are trimmed in red, black, and white upholstery and accompanied by color-coordinated door panels as well as black carpets. The front seat is power-operated, and further amenities include a Town & Country AM radio, an automatic headlight dimmer, an electric trunk release, “Venetian” sun visors, and power windows and door locks. Three of the window motors were reportedly replaced under current ownership. The seller notes that the heater fan switch has been replaced. The black and white steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles, approximately 2,500 of which have been added under current ownership. The odometer cable was replaced in 2020, and total mileage is unknown. The 430ci V8 was factory rated at 375 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. The carburetor and fuel pump are said to have been replaced since 2020, and an oil change and coolant flush were completed in May 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
