This Continental must have also been garage-kept for most or all of its nearly 50 years of life since the body sheet metal appears to have little imperfections in a few small areas none of which is 'cancer' and no trace of any underside rot as typically found in any Lincoln of this age. The body panels (fenders, quarters etc) show no evidence of rusting or even rust having been repaired/removed. The pictures tell the story of how pristine this Lincoln is for its age. The Paint is a 9 out of 10 and the Chrome is a 9 out of 10 - There is come light pitting in some of the interior pop metal trim. The windshield, windows and all other glass is a 10 out of 10 In-person inspection / test ride available by appointment at seller's discretion and availability.
