Are there books and records? Is it a lifetime California car, ie, Does it come with California black plates, If yes what is the license plate number, that can give a clue as to where it was first sold and and started out its life.


Wimbledon white is a nice, and and an appropriate color for those.

I am sure there is a Lincoln Continental forum to join and get help for the best and cost cost efficient way to restore it and source parts you might need.

The electric needs could be quite costly; The 1958-1959 Retractable hardtop Ford Skyliner Convertibles reportedly have over 20 miles of wires in them, which could cause a lot of aggravation tracing a problem down. This vehicle is much more simple, but still - be wary, keep in mind tha buying a money pit is never fun.

Back in the day, to check for bondo, all you needed was a magnet to run it up and down the body panels. Where the magnet wouldn't stick is where the bondo is.


It'd make a wonderful summer cruiser in Sacramento and a great parade car too. I bet many pretty girls out there would love to ride in it too!
