The 1979 model year is the finale for the last full-size luxury sedan built in America. To commemorate this historic event, the Flagship TownCar was offered as a limited edition. The Collector’s Series epitomized the luxury and elegance of America’s last traditional luxury sedan. The 1979 Lincoln Continental rides upon a long 127.2” wheelbase. It has the length of 233” and is 79.9” in width. The 1979 Continental Collector’s Series came fully equipped. The Continental sedan with this elite option ran around $16,500. The cost of a fully equipped Collector’s Series ran in excess of $18,000. Among the select few options available were the power glass Moon Roof, 40-channel CB radio, and the plush Kasman II luxury cloth trimmed interior. Comfort and convenience features and accessories optional on the Lincoln Continental are standard for The Collector’s Series.

This is an unrestored and rare former California car. Never any rust! These cars typically rust around the vinyl top and above the taillights. This car shows NO signs of rust. This car has been garaged. Ice Cold A/C, everything seems to work as it should with the exception of the power antenna and the power door locks. Some door locks work intermittently. Windows and sunroof work fine. Battery was replaced in June of 2015. Engine starts right up and runs with no smoke present. Transmission doesn't leak and shifts as it should. No fluid leaks. Right rear door has two small dings and one small crease and rear bumper tip on right has one small ding. These were present when I purchased the car and never had them repaired because they are quite minor as shown in the pictures. Extra parts are included-automatic headlamp vacuum switch and module, headlamp electrical switch, various vacuum check valves, and possibly other extra parts. I have owned this car for 4 years and 4 months and have driven it only 2,040 miles, mostly just to car shows and car club meetings. It is time to sell as I have recently lost one of my storage garages. Buyer its responsible for shipping.
