1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe
Joining the Power to Weight Motorsport Consignment Fleet is this beautiful 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe finished in the rarest, and most beautiful Opal Blue Green over two-tone Light Green/Dark Green combination cloth/textured vinyl interior. Under the hood lies its factory original 292ci V12 engine producing 125 horsepower and 220 lb. ft. of torque, mated to a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission with overdrive. Additional features include hydraulic power windows, fog lamps, wide whitewall tires measuring 7.00-15, heat/defrost, AM radio, cowl ventilation, rear vent windows, fender skirts, continental spare tire, front & rear bumper overriders, Spartan horns, and exhaust turn down tip!
This example sold new from Star Auto Sales in Cedar Grove, West Virginia, and stayed in the area all of its life. The former owners, Mary & Eugene Morris, purchased this beautifully survived Continental in May 1989 and brought the Lincoln home to Glasgow, WV. Soon afterward, they commissioned a complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration by Drennon Restoration based in Hines, WV. This included a full engine and transmission overhaul, all new cloth-covered wiring, beautiful new interior upholstery and carpet, complete exterior repaint in the original color, re-plated chrome, and more! The results were enjoyed for several years, and as they got older, the car ended up parked in their garage under cover for the better part of the past decade. The St. Louis Car Museum would purchase this worthy example in early 2020 for complete re-commissioning to make roadworthy once again. The current owner purchased the car in early 2021 and has been driven very minimally, and garaged/trickle charged regularly.
With a methodical effort to ensure all vital components were in working order, our expert repair team began with the removal of the gas tank. It was professionally cleaned, etched, and sealed before being re-installed with new sending unit, rebuilt mechanical fuel pump with new internal diaphragm, new fuel filter, and new hoses to a freshly rebuilt carburetor with new float. Both water pumps were sent to Skip Haney in Florida for professional rebuilds, and installed with fresh gaskets. The driver's side heater unit was re-cored, and the radiator received new upper & lower hoses/clamps, thermostats, and fresh coolant. The engine received new spark plugs, new oil & filter, and point gap reset. Next was the brakes and suspension with rebuilt master cylinder, new rear wheel cylinders, all new brake hoses, drums turned, shoes cleaned & adjusted, as well as a new drag link up front. All suspension components were greased and lubed. A brand new battery and new overdrive solenoid were included in the process.
The car starts with ease, shifts wonderfully with a fully functional overdrive, brakes straight and confident, and performs terrifically overall.The vehicle recently had brand new, period-correct wide white wall tires fitted (,800). The paint and chrome polished up very nicely and show only the slightest of wear or age. Inside, the upholstery remains in excellent condition with only some minor staining on the carpet forward the driver seat. This is a beautiful classic Lincoln that displays only 64,640 on the odometer today, believed to be actual since new.
