AI Listing Summary
This 1940 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, one of only 350 built, boasts a rich history and desirable features like a V-12 engine and tan leather interior.

The car achieved an AACA National First Senior award in 1992, highlighting its classic appeal and condition.
Condition
7
While the car has been well-maintained and received an AACA National First Senior award in 1992, it has also undergone several modifications and refurbishments over the years, including engine rebuilds, new upholstery, and a new wiring harness. The listing mentions that the exterior paint and chrome were left untouched during one refurbishment, suggesting that there may be some wear or imperfections present. Additionally, the fact that the car has had multiple owners and was stored for a period of time indicates that it may not be in pristine condition. Considering these factors, a condition rating of 7 seems appropriate.

The 1940 model year marked the introduction of the new top-of-the-line Lincoln, the Continental.
The new Continental was offered in either coupe or the desirable Cabriolet body style.
It was one of the most expensive cars available in the United States at its release, with the Cabriolet offered at a factory price of $2,840.
Meant to convey "European flair, sophistication, style, and luxury," the Continental was lowered three inches and its hood lengthened seven inches when compared to the more mass-produced Lincoln-Zephyr models, all while retaining a revised version of the distinctive Lincoln-Zephyr split vee-shaped grille.
Delivered with high-end appointments including gold-finished interior trim and hardware, the Continental was powered by a 120-horsepower V-12 engine with polished aluminum heads and manifolds.
Instantly prized in the American luxury car market, the Continental Cabriolet was also hard to get, with only 350 examples built for 1940.
