1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible V12 Manual - The Godfather Movie Car - Pace Car Yellow - Ox Blood Red - Rare American Classic
We are extremely proud to offer this truly distinctive 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible, a significant piece of American automotive and movie history, associated with The Godfather Part I and a scene featuring Sonny Corleone. Personally sourced and imported into Australia by its current and only Australian owner over 10 years ago, this remarkable Lincoln has enjoyed more than 45 years of combined ownership between just two custodians. Its Hollywood connection has also attracted magazine features, adding to its unique provenance and collector appeal.
With just 738 Continental Convertibles produced in 1947, this is a rare survivor from an era defined by American luxury, elegant styling and grand touring motoring. Finished in striking Pace Car Yellow with an Ox Blood Red interior, this Lincoln presents with a commanding presence and unmistakable pre-war-inspired elegance. The cabin features split front bench seating, a matching rear bench, classic dashboard instrumentation and original-style switchgear.
Under the long bonnet sits the 292ci V12, paired with a three-speed manual transmission featuring a column shifter. Retaining its largely original drivetrain, 6-volt electrical system, manual steering and drum brakes, this Lincoln offers an authentic connection to post-war American motoring.
