The extra-long sedan profile and iconic suicide doors were part of one of the most artful packages for the road ever created. That's why it's so important to have one continuing to look so crisp today. This one is covered its original shade of Dark Aqua Metallic paint, and it was given a quality respray later in life to retain it's the subtle and sophisticated aura.

In fact, the carpeting, dash, headliner, and the steering wheel are well-coordinated with this, too. There's even a nice extra vintage touch with the wood-like trim. Buying a Lincoln meant all the best features, and that includes power front seat, power locks, fold-down armrests, and power windows. There have also been the right upgrades to keep this a terrific modern cruiser. There's air condition blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant, and the radio has been upgraded to an AM/FM /CD stereo with USB input and Bluetooth. And the auxiliary gauge trio helps you keep a close eye on what's going on under the hood. The sporty forward-hinge hood gives a great view of the large V8. This was the final year for this iconic generation, and the only full model year to receive the 460 cubic-inch big block engine. This looks correct right down to the decals, and even the date codes are in-line, and so this special powerhouse is also believed to be original to the car.
