OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1979 Lincoln Continental Sedan marked the final year of Lincoln’s traditional full-size luxury flagship before the model was significantly downsized for 1980. At more than 19 feet long and riding on a 127.2-inch wheelbase, it was one of the largest production sedans sold in the U.S.

Power came from a 400ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Styling features included a long hood, prominent grille, hidden headlights, a formal roofline, and 15” steel wheels with wheel covers.
