1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe Description

One owner, non smoker, no pets. My dad bought this Town Coupe new from our local Lincoln dealer. He had the car Ziebarted (rust proofing treatment) right after purchase. He kept the car garaged its entire life.

After sitting for many years, Dad decided to have the car restored. In 2010 and 2011, Baker’s Auto in Putnam, CT did an extensive restoration. Dad spent over $40k on all the work which included a complete review of all the mechanicals (brakes/fuel system/transmission, etc), new interior/upholstery for seats/trunk lining, re-painting and re-chroming. All the dents/scratches were addressed and the finish is excellent (see photos). Car has less than 1k miles since restoration.

Serious buyers are welcome to contact me and I’m happy to provide contact info for the restorers.Dad wanted a reliable, good driving car and that is exactly what Baker’s delivered. If you have never driven a Lincoln of this vintage, it is like sitting on your couch at home as you go down the road – so smooth!

We replaced the front tires and had the oil changed within the last 50 miles.
