Classic Car Overview
This one-owner car had just 9,435 actual miles as of 2017, when we sold it to its second owner. He properly serviced the car, added a set of Vogue tires, and today it has only 15,075 miles. The story begins in 1979 when a farmer won $150,000 in the lottery. He treated himself to an RV, a combine tractor, and the most expensive American car available at the time-this Lincoln Collectors Series, which carried a staggering $22,955 window sticker. For comparison, a top-of-the-line Cadillac Biarritz that year was $14,800.
This car was ordered fully loaded and includes its original, custom-made, color-matched leather tool kit-100% complete right down to the screwdriver with Collectors Series script logo. We found a similar kit advertised online for $3,999. Other unique factory features include the umbrella, custom keys, and leather-wrapped owners manual cover. Rare options include bucket seats with center console, CB radio, power moonroof, and much more-far too many features to list individually.
It also comes with an impressive bundle of documentation including the original window sticker, registrations, warranty card, and additional supporting paperwork.
The car remains in completely original condition and presents in near-new form. There is an oil change sticker dated 1990-that was the last time it was driven until 2017. Since then it has been serviced and driven sparingly. Remarkably, it appears to function exceptionally well, right down to the Cartier clock.
This is an extraordinarily rare and desirable find-an authentic, low-mile Collectors Series with documentation, provenance, and originality. A true thoroughbred investment-grade luxury car from the peak of American excess.
Vehicles are displayed in a museum setting. Admission applies without an appointment and is refunded with purchase, including a one-year museum membership.
