1942 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet

  • Chassis Number: H131040
1942 Lincoln Continental Navigation
All 1942 Lincoln models wore large front ends with the COntinetnals having a delicate horizontal bar grille. The Cabriolet body style was very rare with just 136 examples built.

This particular example was given a full restoration around the early 2010s. It wears a dark blue livery over red leather upholstery with gold-plated interior trim, central ventilation controls, and instrument bezels. Other gold-plated elements include the sun visor hardware and the top latches. Luxury amenities include a factory AM radio and power windows. The 292 cubic-inch L-head twelve-cylinder engine produces 130 horsepower.
