1941 Lincoln Continental

The Lincoln Continental had a simple, clean, and elegant design that was initially conceived as a personal car for Edsel Ford for use as his winter home in Hobe Sound, Florida. It was instantly identifiable as a Lincoln and based on the Zephyr but had a seven-inch longer hood and the body sectioned to be 3 inches lower. The design was greeted with instant acclaim and was soon put into production.

Production began as a 4-seat cabriolet followed shortly by a coupe, which quickly became more popular than the cabriolet.

Only minor modifications were applied for the 1941 model year, such as the interior and exterior door handles being of the push-button type. 400 examples of the Cabriolet were built at a base price of $2,780 while the coupe had a base price of $2,725 and 850 examples were built. The L-head 12-cylinder engine displaced 292 cubic-inches and had four main bearings and a Holley downdraft two-barrel carburetor. They had a three-speed transmission and Bendix hydraulic, internal expanding brakes on all four wheels. The Lincoln Continental script was placed on the spare tire hubcap and on the hood. The road hubcaps had the Lincoln V-12 name.

Lincoln produced 1,250 examples of the Lincoln Continental in 1941.
