The Lincoln Continental was the flagship sedan of Lincoln, Ford Motor Company's luxury brand. Sadly, the nameplate bowed out in 2020, leaving Lincoln with an all-SUV lineup. The Continental would be around in some form or other from 1939 up until 2020, albeit with some breaks along the way. Today's 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series is from the fifth generation and is the Collector's Series special edition produced in 1979 to mark the end of the fifth generation. If you'd like to own and drive a proverbial land yacht, this car is the perfect way to do it.
Sporting a dark blue paint job, one of only four colors offered on the Collector's Edition, this 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series looks suitably lavish, even in 2023. The trick headlamp covers are present, as are wire-effect alloy wheels and the Lincoln radiator mascot standing proud. It's a long car, as, by 1979, the length was a parking spot confounding 233 inches. However, these cars aren't meant to mix with the hoi polloi but stand out on their own. Likewise, the blue interior with ample wood trim is equally lavish. It's got squishy and plush seats at the front and rear, with plenty of rear leg room to enjoy, thanks to the 127-inch wheelbase. We can see the Ford Quadrasonic Stereo radio cassette player sitting proudly in the center console, which offered individual sliders to set the front-to-rear sound balance, as well as left to right. Beneath it sits the climate control panel. As you'd expect, this car comes with air conditioning. A gaze at the driver's side door panel reveals not only power window and mirror controls but also seat controls. Automatic headlamps are present and looking at the two-spoke steering wheel, one will be pleasantly surprised to discover cruise control buttons on it. Finally, the linear, white-faced speedometer is pure class.
Our 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series land yacht is powered by a 400ci (6.6L) Cleveland V8, which, surprisingly, was the smallest engine on offer! Don't expect massive horsepower, as it's a low-revving high-torque engine that sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed C6 automatic gearbox.
During the ‘80s, the Town Car was a trim level that signified the most luxurious and the most expensive version of the Lincoln Continental. It was then spun off to be its own model, and it was a traditional American luxury sedan in the truest sense. The focus was not to make a thrilling driving experience but to create a big sedan that was as comfortable and as smooth as possible. When the model was withdrawn, it marked the end of an era for large V8, full-size, rear-wheel drive, body-on-frame American luxury sedans that were once common. This makes this 2011 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited model a rare vehicle you can own today. Located in Nevada, this car is available for sale with 30,000 miles on its clock.

Muscle cars took over in the Sixties from the land yachts of the previous generation. These downsized offerings were a result of the full-size luxury car market slowly declining, and the market leader at the time, the Lincoln Town Car was facing the music too.

Winning 1990’s Motor Trend Car Of The Year award, as well as becoming one of the USA’s best-selling full-size luxury sedans is no mean feat, which is why this 1997 Lincoln Town Car Touring Edition / Jack Nicklaus Edition is special. This Glenwood-based automobile has just 42,000 miles on the clock, and comes with its original owner guide and features intact.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
From the ’30s to the ’50s, MG was undoubtedly excelled in the sports car arena. Their simple yet engaging T-Type models offered motorsports-winning pedigree to a broad audience and were distinct in their style. The MG TD was the fourth iteration of the T-Type chassis, which started with the TD. While the car’s lineage was still unmistakable, the Midget adopted a more sophisticated approach to the drivetrain. This includes the hypoid-geared rear axle of the MG Y-Type and independent front suspension. Our featured car is a 1952 MG TD Roadster Replica, which has been painstakingly recreated to offer an idea of what the original car would have looked like. Being a relatively modern reincarnation, this replica has reportedly run just 20,000 miles.
