Hi Don

Not to divert attention from the '50 Super, but regarding the Lincoln Continental, correctly restored postwar examples still with their V-12 are an easy car to find. They were being restored in great numbers in the 1960's-'80's by LCOC members. Many are now on the market.

Here's a screaming deal on a 1941 Lincoln Continental club coupe advertised on the AACA Forum for $12,850.:https://forums.aaca.org/topic/342225-1941-lincoln-continental/

To drive one, you have to do a lot more shifting to keep the rpms up to create much torque relative to a contemporary Packard. Their primary appeal is in their design.
