1979 Lincoln Continental Collectors Series

The 1979 model year is the finale for the last full-size luxury sedan built in America. To commemorate this historic event, the Flagship TownCar was offered as a limited edition. The Collector's Series epitomized the luxury and elegance of America's last traditional luxury sedan. The 1979 Lincoln Continental rides upon a long 127.2" wheelbase. It has the length of 233" and is 79.9" in width. The 1979 Continental Collector's Series came fully equipped. The Continental sedan with this elite option ran around $16,500. The cost of a fully equipped Collector's Series ran in excess of $18,000. Among the select few options available were the power glass Moon Roof, 40-channel CB radio, and the plush Kasman II luxury cloth trimmed interior. Comfort and convenience features and accessories optional on the Lincoln Continental are standard for The Collector's Series. Signature exterior features includes color-keyed Coach Roof, gold-color grille and bumper inserts, right-hand remote-controlled outside rear view mirror, color-keyed premium body side moldings, color-keyed turbine-style cast aluminum wheels, Appearance Protection Group (front and rear carpeted floor mats, door edge guards, and rear license plate frame), right and left-side illuminated vanity mirrors, and Interior Light Group. "Collector's Series" nomenclature is affixed to each rear roof sail panel. This Continental Collector's Series includes: Automatic Temperature Control, Illuminated Entry System, Automatic Garage Door Opener, and an AM/FM Stereo Signal-seeking radio with Quad-8 Track tape deck and CB Radio. Front and rear center folding armrests, Tilt Steering Wheel, Twin Comfort Lounge seats with both sides 6-way power adjustable & passenger recliner, Automatic Speed Control, Power Lock Group (includes trunk release), power windows, Cartier electric digital timepiece, power steering, and power brakes, power vent windows, interval wipers, Defroster Group (electric window defroster and heated left-side outside rear view mirror), and Headlamp Convenience Group (automatic headlamp dimmer, and Autolamp on/off delay system) leather-wrapped tool kit . The interior seats are Kasman II luxury cloth. The headlining is trimmed in rich Harvard cloth. The 36 oz. deep pile carpet lines the interior and 16 oz. cut pile carpet lines the trunk. This is an unrestored and rare former California car. Never any rust! These cars typically rust around the vinyl top and above the taillights. This car shows NO signs of rust. This car has been garaged. Ice Cold A/C, everything seems to work as it should with the exception of the power antenna and the power door locks. Some door locks work intermittently. Windows and sunroof work fine. Battery was replaced in June of 2015. Engine starts right up and runs with no smoke present. Transmission doesn't leak and shifts as it should. No fluid leaks. Right rear door has two small dings and one small crease and rear bumper tip on right has one small ding. These were present when I purchased the car and never had them repaired because they are quite minor as shown in the pictures. Extra parts are included-automatic headlamp vacuum switch and module, headlamp electrical switch, various vacuum check valves, and possibly other extra parts. I have owned this car for 4 years and 4 months and have driven it only 2,040 miles, mostly just to car shows and car club meetings. It is time to sell as I have recently lost one of my storage garages. Buyer its responsible for shipping.
