Dr. Peter Kruger also of Tulare purchased the Continental Coupe in 1988, t which point the car had accumulated just over 20,239 miles. Dr. Kruger had been actively involved with the Lincoln Continental Owners Club for 25 years, nd his Continentals were recognized as exceptional examples, aving won all the LCOC Major Trophies. Dr. Kruger repainted the car in the original white, ut left the balance of the cars cosmetics alone due to their exceptional original and well-preserved conditions.

The beautiful Continental would soon after make its first appearance on the concours scene. At the September 1988 LCOC Western National Meet the white Coupe won 1st in Class; Best V-8 Engine and the coveted Ford Motor Company Trophy for the best Mk II against a field of 7 Mk II Continentals.
