1973 Lincoln Continental Reviews

At 90,000 miles the hydraulics went in the car and I had no power steering or braking abilities. They were replaced for around $700.00.

This car was the American lap of big car luxury.

It rode like you were riding on air.

Leather seats were soft yet firm.

Power accessories and lighting everywhere.

Rode without squeaks or rattles until it was over 20 years old.

Doors closed as solid as a bank vault.

Engine and transmission were quiet and smooth.

At first the car would not start, but that was because it had been sitting for several years. It's now running perfectly.

When I went to look at the car, it was not only garaged, but also had the car cover on inside the garage. When the cover came off, it was like looking at a 1973 Lincoln straight off the line.

There is no rust.

The engine is immaculate.

The leather interior is like new, no damage.

It doesn't drive, it glides. I have never encountered a car like this.

I owned a Buick beforehand, and even that cannot compare.

It's a pain to park, and I get scared going around tight turns because I'm afraid of clobbering some little sport coupe or something.

The gas mileage, to me, isn't that bad considering I was barely doing better with the Buick. The Lincoln gets around 15.5 mpg, but has a 22-gallon tank, so the range is good.

I wish cars these days had luxury like this Lincoln. It came with a cassette player and a CB radio, which is pretty cool.

It isn't exactly quick off the line, but it has amazing torque, so I can still smoke the tires!

I'm a Lincoln man now.
