Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Showing 10,592 miles, which is said to be original. Bought new in Wisconsin and kept under the care of collectors for almost all of its life. It is all original and shows the level of wear you'd normally associate with a car that's about 20 years old, not 80. Very good paint, chrome, interior and trim. The original, factory-supplied, spares are still wrapped in their factory oilcloth. A sure preservation class contender anywhere it goes.
Market commentary
The sad commentary on this miraculously preserved Lincoln is that it isn't grungy enough to get barn-find bidders excited about it. It's a really good, lovingly preserved, old car that would appeal to current barn-find buyers if it were filthy. Bonhams usually astute bidders missed a rare opportunity with this Lincoln.
