In 1938 then president of the Ford Motor Company, Edsel ford, commissioned the Lincoln subsidiary for a luxury car for his march 1939 vacation. He wanted something new and trendy for the time, yet something elegant; his own dream car. So he and Eugene Gregorie Jr., cheif designer at Lincoln, updated the design of the previous Lincoln Zephyr. They elongated the hood, streamlined the fenders, removed the running boards, updated the interior, and added a spare tire to the rear. Once Edsel gave Eugene the green light for the clay model, the new Lincoln-Zephyr Continental was given a prototype.
Edsel’s vacation rolls around and a prototype convertible coupe was delivered to the Ford family. The two Ford boys, Henry II and Benson, drove the car on the coastline of Palm Beach Florida. In just the time Edsel took for vacation, Lincoln had received over 200 orders for the Lincoln Continental. So, naturally, the Continental was put into production as Lincoln’s new flagship automobile.
This 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet is an expertly restored and maintained example of the Continental name. The Maroon paint is in excellent condition the tan canvas top contrasting the paint well. The cream and woodgrain interior is immaculate with every knob and button painted expertly. Every metal trim piece is coated in a gold that compliments the cream steering wheel and seats. The 3-speed column shift transmission shifts smoothly with distinct slots for every gear. The 267ci Lincoln-Zephyr V12 runs fantastically and pulls its occupants smoothly down the road. With this Lincoln being offered at No Reserve, this is an incredible opportunity to own an iconic American luxury car.
