1948 Lincoln Continental V-12 Roadster Description

Wow !!! A fully Restored 1948 Lincoln Roadster 100% Original Survivor with V-12 Original Engine Maybe around 35 known to exist /Not Many in this condition
In 1975 The Lincoln was purchased from a Older Couple for $7200.00. A premium was paid for this Car for it was 100% Original and the body was all Original with no Rust. Over a 10 year Period a Complete Documented Restoration was Performed That Cost Close to $18,000.00 with all Original Parts. There is a Folder that contains Receipts as well as a Original Build Sheet and History of the car from the Henry Ford Museum in Greenfield Village. After the Restoration the Lincoln Spent Most of its Time At Car Shows which it Won Many Awards. In 1995 the Lincoln was put into Dry Storage with The Gas Tank Drained and Oil squirted into the Cylinders. It was Stored on Jacks Covered Securely in A Climate Controlled Building.
After I acquired the Lincoln a Lighter Restoration Was Performed to Bring her back to be a Beautiful Roadster.
