This 1947 Lincoln Continental is one of 738 convertibles produced for the model year and was refurbished and modified. It is finished in black over tan and is powered by a fuel-injected 460ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a tan soft top, air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, wire wheels, and a Kenwood CD stereo. Work included installing the fuel-injection system and performing fluid changes.
The 460ci Ford V8 was installed, included installing an MSD Atomic electronic fuel injection system, an electric fuel pump, and a one-wire alternator, along with performing an oil change and replacing the battery and spark plugs. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear axle.
The exterior was refinished in black during previous ownership and features a tan soft top, a matching top boot, chrome bumpers, dual mirrors, and a covered spare tire mounted on the trunk lid.
Chrome 15″ wire wheels are mounted with whitewall tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes and a Twin-I-Beam independent front suspension. Service in March 2024 included replacing the right-rear axle seal and flushing the braking system.
The cabin features bench seats trimmed in tan upholstery, along with matching door panels and carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, front and rear lap belts, and a steering knob, along with a remote-controlled Kenwood CD stereo mounted below the passenger seat. The air-conditioning system has been converted to R134a refrigerant and was recharged in preparation for sale.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and sits ahead of a 110-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges.
The five-digit odometer shows 95k miles, total mileage is unknown.
