The late 40s saw a resurgence in the American luxury car market that had almost died completely thanks to more than a decade of economic depression and World War. The post-war boom brought a wave of Cadillacs, Packards, and Lincolns re-entering the market. For the first few years after the war, most cars (especially the more expensive ones like the Lincoln Continentals) were largely similar to the pre-war models. This was due to civilian automobile production being paused after Pearl Harbor (and America’s subsequent direct involvement in WWII). In this case, the first-generation Continental had only been in production for a couple of years before being put on hold. They were offered only in 2-door form, as either a coupe or a convertible. Several changes were made when production was resumed in 1946, the most prominent being the “Zephyr” name being removed from Lincoln-Zephyr. This production run would last only a few years as well, ending in 1948. The 1949 Continental would be a fancier Mercury and not quite the expensive and exclusive personal-luxury vehicle that its predecessor was.
This example isn’t exactly stock, but that isn’t obvious to the untrained eye, especially at first glance. The two-tone white and maroon paintwork looks period-correct, and there are no major visual changes on the exterior apart from the wire wheels. The chromework is shiny, the externally mounted spare wheel matches the body colors, and the paintwork appears to be in good shape. In fact, the current owner states that a new paint job was completed in 2018. The dashboard looks intact and original. The red interior matches the secondary (maroon) color on the exterior. It has bench seats in both the front and the rear. While this model is believed to have been offered with power windows from the factory, it is reported that this car has been fitted with electric windows. It also has an aftermarket 80s-style steering wheel that matches the interior color and a train horn.
Originally, the Continental was fitted with a 292ci flathead V12 and a 3-speed manual transmission. The current owner reports that it now has a new 454ci engine with less than 35,000 miles on it, and a new automatic transmission (making it easier to drive and, probably, to maintain as well). Considering that the original engine was reported to make around 130hp, the new drivetrain has perhaps made the car much quicker as well.

Luxury cruising can be experienced in many forms. One might opt to visit the closest dealership and run through examples that give you luxury and tech at every glance. For those who know and understand that luxury cruising is done best with classic motors, you can't replicate that old-school perception of luxury and class. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector Series is a fine example of that. With a reported 26,248 miles on the clock, this low mileage luxury classic is the golden standard of cruising and can be yours to enjoy a weekend drive in style.

The 1960s American automotive landscape witnessed a thrilling duel between muscle cars, each manufacturer vying to set new benchmarks in performance and striking aesthetics. However, amidst the roar of muscle cars, the era also birthed iconic full-sized luxury automobiles. If you yearn to relish the opulence and grandeur of a 1960s luxury cruiser with its original splendor intact, look no further than this 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III Coupe, adorned with a reported 75,800 miles on its distinguished journey. Remarkably, this is an entirely original specimen, preserving its heritage on all fronts.
Produced for just three years, the Fleetmaster was Chevy’s immediate new model following World War II. It was offered for the 1946, 1947 and 1948 model years, before the Chevrolet Deluxe took over. Buyers could select from two and four-door sedans, a two-door coupe or convertible, and a four-door station wagon. Today, the Fleetmaster is an excellent '40s classic car for the discerning collector who doesn’t want to go down the typical route of classic car ownership. Therefore, we’re glad to present this wonderfully restored 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster with 49,585 miles on the clock. The car does pack a few modernizations to make it more pleasant to own and drive. All servicing is said to be up-to-date, and two keys are included with the sale.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
The 1937 Ford line-up was basically a refresh of Ford’s popular Model 48, and ran for four model years. The range saw new engine choices and some fresh styling but remained more or less mechanically identical in other ways. As time passed on, these cars became classics and then vintage vehicles. They’ve also become rather sought after due to their interesting styling. Some petrolheads buy these to restore to concourse condition, others make them into restomods of varying degrees. If you want a 1937 Ford that’s more or less standard, but with a few modern enhancements, check out this 1940 Ford Deluxe. It’s undergone a frame-off restoration and now sits on a custom frame for better longevity. With a host of improvements, it’s a Forties classic that you can drive on a regular basis.
