1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe
 
Just in on consignment is this stunning example of a 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe finished in the coveted color combination, Opal Blue/Green over two-tone Light Green/Dark Green cloth/textured vinyl interior displaying only 64,530 miles (believed to be original) on the odometer today. Featuring the factory original 292ci V12 engine producing 125 horsepower and 220 lb. ft. of torque, put in motion by a a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission with overdrive.
 
Factory Features Include: Hydraulic power windows, fog lamps, wide whitewall tires showing a just under 7.00-15 all around, 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.
 
Ownership History: This vehicle was sold new from Star Auto Sales in Cedar Grove, West Virginia, and stayed in the area for over 31 years. The former owners 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 car was then acquired by St. Louis Car Museum and then again by the current owner.
 
Recent Maintenance:
 The removal and refurbishment of the original gas tank (cleaned, etched, and sealed and 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 a professional rebuild, to which they installed 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.
 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 Lester Tire Company tires on the vehicle now are serviceable but are old, so it should be noted that the cars next owner will likely wish to replace them with their brand of choice, whether poly-4 or modern radials.
 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.
