1978 Lincoln Continental Towncar
The Lincoln was bought new by H. W. Saunders on June 30, 1978 in Albemarle NC, and spent a pampered life here in the South. The 1978 Lincoln was a very distinctive and rich-looking car this year, especially in the triple blue "Collector Series" color scheme. This is a loaded car missing only the sunroof option, but with everything from all power options, to a big block 460 belting out enough torque to make even the muscle car minions question their cars capabilities, ( with all due respect to my muscle car buyers).
PAINTThe paint is slick and deep, a show finish. The car appears to have possibly had a professional repaint in the original color at some point in its life but does nothing but add to the value and appearance of this car.
INTERIORThe interior is a factory original with excellent blue leather and deep clean carpet. All of the interior chrome is virtually pit-free and shines like new. All the power options work as they should. The headliner is in very nice condition and is original, a rare find. Horn works great, and is loud!
