1979 Lincoln Continental Sedan

A remarkable preservation-grade example of Lincoln’s flagship luxury sedan, this 1979 Continental Town Car presents as a true time capsule from the final years of the traditional full-size American luxury era. Delivered new to Garner Lincoln-Mercury Inc. of Fort Wayne, Indiana, this example has been climate-controlled stored from new with only three owners. Showing just 3,700 miles from new, this Town Car highlights the grandeur, comfort and quiet sophistication that defined Lincoln’s top offering for 1979.

Finished in elegant white paint with a matching white vinyl landau roof, the car features signature opera windows, prominent chrome bumpers and 15-inch turbine-style cast-aluminum wheels that distinguish the top-of-the-line Town Car package. Inside, the luxury continues with white leather Twin Comfort Lounge seats, complemented by a striking dark red dashboard, carpeting and seatbelts, creating a dramatic and period-correct contrast that showcases Lincoln’s premium color coordination of the era.

Power comes from the smooth and reliable 400 CI V-8, paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission—an ideal combination for effortless highway cruising. Comfort and convenience equipment includes cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, automatic temperature control and an AM/FM stereo with Quadrasonic 8-track player, all contributing to the serene driving experience expected of Lincoln’s flagship sedan. Beautifully preserved and wonderfully equipped, this Town Car is offered with its original window sticker, a period sales brochure, owner’s manuals and a warranty pamphlet. It’s a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, ultra-low-mile Continental that captures the very essence of late-1970s American luxury motoring.
