West Peterson Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 While they only built 452 Continental convertibles, there were an additional 847 coupes. It's possible the 916 is the body number, assuming that they've clumped coupes and convertibles together. Otherwise, 916 is too high for the convertible alone. Which would mean it's relatively late in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The Benson Ford archives at The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village Museum would have all the original information at their finger tips. Color, production, sale dates. I don't think they reveal original owner, but they would tell the original selling dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Benson Ford Research Center. I'm sure there is a fee of probably $25 or so to get a file on your car.Search for books, trade catalogs, archival materials, periodicals, and videos, Henry Ford collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
