No paintwork or accident history - original paint is spectacular with only a few minor stone chips.

Vehicle Condition - I have not personally inspected or photographed this vehicle. I am relying on the pictures and descriptions provided by the seller. I can however tell that this car is an exceptional and highly collectable vehicle. I invite anyone to inspect this car in the Chicago , Il. area and determine for yourself that this car is truly in great condition. Seeing really is believing.

- Only known defect is two minor paint blister spots. One is located on the left, rear quarter panel where the vinyl top meets the painted surface at the corner of the moulding. The other is located at the Lincoln crest that covers the trunk lid lock cylinder. Both are minor but worth mentioning.

This vehicle is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Everything works on this car. There are only minor paint chips to the finish which is not unusual for a vehicle of this age. There are no rips or significant wear to the interior whatsoever. A truly beautiful Lincoln with super low miles.
