This 1972 Lincoln Continental Town Car is about paying a little and getting a lot. Its a survivor-grade luxury sedan that provides effortless power from the original 460 V8and#44; incomparable ride qualityand#44; and a bigger-than-life persona. The appeal here is as clear as black andamp; whiteand#44; literally. This Lincoln avoided the polarizing earthtones of the 70sand#44; and instead it has the kind of hues that represent timeless luxury – we even believe much of this paint is original to the car. Lasting over four decades with this kind of luster means a lifetime of great care. The white still has a porcelain-like qualityand#44; and the luxury vinyl roof is complete and soft to the touch. Soand#44; the kind of luxury you expected from Lincoln in 72 remains today. But its more than just color that makes it distinctive. This is a year for lovers of intricate design. For exampleand#44;the headlight doors match the grille to give this executive sedan a sporty appeal. There is a bright trim line that starts at the front fender and follows the sheetmetal crease all the way along the Continentals distinctive profile. And because it was built before new bumper lawsand#44; they fit flush with the body as an integral part of the design. It was all part of Lincolns upper class imageand#44; so its essential that its as all as crisp and pristine as you see on this example. The black leather interior is part of an expensive original optionand#44; and it has been preserved to like-new condition. So the moment you sink into the armchair-like comfortand#44; you are transformed into a world of luxury. In factand#44; with the condition of the carpetsand#44; door panelsand#44; headlinerand#44; and wood panelingand#44; it feels sophisticated and elegant – like an upscale private club. And just like the best exclusive membershipsand#44; there are plenty of perks. This includes power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; power seatsand#44; the original AM/FM stereo radioand#44; and factory air conditioning. The back seat is as spacious as many full-sized cars todayand#44; and the giant trunk is outfitted with more plush carpeting and a full-sized spare with its own matching cover. Fords smooth and refined 460 cubic inch V8 provides effortless performance in the Continental. This was the beginning of the lower compression eraand#44; and since the motor is believed to be originaland#44; thats a good thing. That means its a survivor thats built to handle unleaded. Plusand#44; the big V8 retains enough torque to pull a boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this big bodied carand#44; but its this kind of available strength that allows you to smoothlyand#44; and quicklyand#44; cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the big blue Ford engine looks as factory-fresh as the exterior of this sedan. What you dont see is a new exhaust system that keeps this luxury machine remaining whisper quiet. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after alland#44; its interior is more comfortable than any movie theater seat)and#44; theres much more to the Town Car. Its got power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and a three-speed automatic transmission. This is the kind of luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows as far away as you want.
