Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1948 Lincoln continental. The first Lincoln Continentals were factory custom rides of the wealthy and famous in the late 40s and early 50s. They pioneered and took advantage of many trends that were just developing in car culture at the time. Like lowered roof and belt lines and styling the car for length and sleekness. This green Continental is finished in an unusual shade for a Continental, with a green exterior over neutral cloth interior. The car no longer runs the original Flathead V12. Now it's powered by a 351ci V8 with a 3-speed automatic. The car runs and drives well, but it's a survivor by the definition of the word. It runs and drives, but "old car" life has clearly taken hold. The passenger window isn't working, the wipers and fuel gauge need some help as well as the original clock. That said the Continental does have working AC, and CD player with AM/FM radio. Overall, it's a solid, big classic with a lot of historical significance. A great driver or a good candidate for restoration.

About Lincoln
Lincoln, often regarded as more than just an upmarket Ford, has carved its own niche in the automotive world with a rich history and a lineup of distinctive models. Let's take a stroll down the memory lane of Lincoln's story.Early Beginnings:
Founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, the man behind the Cadillac brand, Lincoln initially started as a luxury automobile company. The brand quickly gained a reputation for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Ford Era:
In 1922, Lincoln was acquired by the Ford Motor Company, and this marked the beginning of a long association. Ford aimed to position Lincoln as its luxury division, competing with other prestigious brands in the market.
Classic Models:
Over the years, Lincoln introduced several iconic models that left a lasting impact on the automotive landscape:
Lincoln Continental: Launched in the 1940s, the Continental became an instant classic. Its elegant design and iconic suicide doors made it a symbol of luxury and sophistication.
Lincoln Town Car: Introduced in the 1980s, the Town Car became synonymous with chauffeur-driven luxury. Its spacious interior and smooth ride made it a favorite among executives and dignitaries.
Lincoln Navigator: The late '90s saw the rise of the SUV craze, and Lincoln was quick to respond with the Navigator. A full-size luxury SUV, the Navigator combined opulence with utility and became a popular choice among affluent families.
