1941 Continental Cabriolet for sale

[Phil Knapp]

1941 Continental Cabriolet for sale.

This is a relatively un-molested, mostly original, extraordinarily rust-free 1941 Continental Cabriolet with only 84,000 original miles.

I have owned this car since March, 2007 and I can trace its ownership back to 1969.

I have done a complete brake job, including a power booster concealed in the left front fender, a set of 5 new Coker Firestone 7:00x16 tires and a Dan Krehbiel “bullet-proofed” rebuilt Columbia overdrive axle.

I need to sell this car and have reduced my asking price to $35,000.

This price includes a post-war complete, running V-12 engine from Merv Adkins, a transmission overdrive, and a short driveshaft.

Remember, there were only 400 Continental Cabriolets produced in 1941, many of which have been “Over-Restored” (Trailer Queens) or “hot-rodded” to increase performance, making this “ORIGINAL” car VERY rare!

Also, bear in mind that 1941 Lincolns are UNIQUE cars.

1. In 1941, Ford strengthened the chassis and running gear while retaining the pre-war styling, thus making the 1941 Lincoln the “best of both worlds”.

2. Tread width is wider.

3. 16x5 inch wheels are 1941 ONLY. (A favorite of wheel of Hot-Rodders.)

4. Front brake backing plates have no offset, making 1941 front brake drums unique.

5. 1941 was the last year for the Columbia 2-speed overdrive axle and the first year for the Borg-Warner transmission overdrive. 1941 Lincolns could be ordered with EITHER or BOTH overdrive options.

6. 1941 Convertible tops are operated electrically. 1940 tops are operated by vacuum. 1942 and post-war are hydraulic.
