1942 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet

  • Chassis Number: H133783
Lincoln produced just 136 Continental Cabriolets before the guns of war put an end to production. In modern times, it is estimated that just 27 cabriolets have survived. This particular example has been given a concours-level restoration and finished in correct Darrin Blue with a tan top. It rides on wide whitewall tires with chrome hubcaps. The interior is blue leather, gold accents, and features a 2-spoke steering wheel and white Bakelite knobs. Another feature is the 1942-only 'Ball and Wing' mascot.
