1942 Lincoln Continental Navigation
The first Continental was a specially customized Lincoln Zephyr built for Edsel Ford to use on his winter vacation in Palm Beach, Florida in 1939. So popular was the car among his friends that he used his influence as President of the Ford Motor Company to have a production version built. The first series-produced Continentals were constructed in December 1939 and were little changed from the prototype. The design remained unchanged until 1942, at which time a larger V-12 engine was fitted and the grille and front trim were redesigned for a sleeker appearance. As the dashboard insignia indicates, this car was originally equipped with Ford's then-new Liquamatic automatic transmission. The transmission was rushed to production before it could be fully developed and word quickly spread about its poor reliability. Although only eight Lincolns were equipped with the Liquamatic, all were recalled and fitted with Ford's well proven three-speed manual transmission.Source - Petersen Museum
