1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe
Description
The 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe is a nicely preserved, low-mileage example of one of the final truly full-size American personal-luxury coupes before the move toward smaller platforms. Finished in white with a Wedgewood Blue vinyl coach roof, it carries the formal, chrome-heavy styling that defined late-1970s Lincoln design, including hideaway headlights, cornering lamps, opera windows, bright trim, and turbine-style alloy wheels. The car benefits from recent servicing that included fresh tires, an air-conditioning compressor, and a power-steering pump, helping keep it in strong driver condition.
Power comes from Lincoln’s carbureted 460ci V8 paired with a smooth 3-Speed C6 Automatic transmission, delivering the quiet, effortless torque and relaxed highway character expected from a big luxury coupe of this era. Power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes make the car surprisingly manageable despite its substantial size.
Inside, the spacious cabin is upholstered in rich blue trim and features a power-adjustable front bench, woodgrain accents, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, Cartier clock, CB radio, and an AM/FM stereo with 8-track player. It is a highly appealing boulevard cruiser with authentic late-1970s Lincoln presence and comfort.
