1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet Super Rare Body #401 Last One Manufactured on 2040-cars
Glastonbury, Connecticut, United States
|
1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet - SUPER RARE AUTOMOBILE as it is Body #401 which is the very LAST 1941 Lincoln Continental EVER manufactured for that model year by Lincoln Motor Cars. The build Sheet shows the car was built on June 13, 1941. The original exterior color from the factory was a beautiful gray. The interior was red leather with a tan convertible top. This Lincoln includes all the parts that are shown in the attached pictures including a rust free front sheet metal pan that is located under the front grills, pair of fender skirts, a transmission for a V-12 engine and a front bumper. I also have the backs of the front seat that are upholstered and is not pictured since I purchased them and they are still in the box that they were shipped in. The front and rear springs of the seats come with the car. The car does dont have the V-12 motor. I have one available at an additional cost if you are interested. Please email me if interested. The floors were repaired at one point but they did not do a very good job. The doors do sag when they are opened. I was told that at one point the car had a Oldsmobile V-8 engine which is no longer in the car. This car does need a TOTAL restoration. However, once restored, this car should be considered priceless for being the last 1941 Lincoln ever built. In 1942 Lincoln changed the body style and only produced a limited number of cars due to the start of the war.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am more than happy to show you the car. Low reserve price. A $1000.00 deposit is required within 48 hours from the end of the auction.

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
