A car that's not only beautiful, You don't have to be a master mechanic to know how to work on it. Love it.

[@samspace81]

Couldn't agree more!

[@shartingfish5761]

I love the red steering wheel.. we'll never see style and class like this again.

[@samspace81]

Thanks so much for watching

[@VADORT]

WAOUH !!!! PERFECT CAR ! that sound is so deep

[@samspace81]

I love those V12 Lincolns

[@allenpinnix5241]

the push button door is great! what a car-- you were some-body in 1948 if you had one of those! i have a '64 Continental convertible--love it!

[@samspace81]

Your's is not bad either. These V12 Lincolns are hot buys in my opinion. Thanks for watching

[@RamblinAround]

Awesome Lincoln...great vid Sam!

[@samspace81]

Thanks for checking it out! I really had a lot of fun cruising with this one. Not many people get to.

[@kbc163]

Beautiful boulevard cruiser. 👍

[@samspace81]

It sure is!

[@YOUGOTIT210]

Beautiful original

[@josephdunlap6747]

Magnificent example of automotive art! Great engineering and beautiful display of American ingenuity! Amazing in every detail! 🙏

[@samspace81]

Glad you enjoyed it

Land yachts don't get much better.

It was incredible to drive & ride in. Thanks MrCarGuy20!

beautiful car, am not a lincoln man, but still a very fine car, i am currently working on a 62 imperial crown 2 door , love your beauty

[@samspace81]

Thanks so much for checking it out Ronald, I really love these too. Appreciate you following Samspace81

[@walterrdbrown9724]

yes, LOVE to own this car

[@samspace81]

Thanks Walter

[@randy25rhoads]

That transparent steering wheel and the knobs… they're so damn sexy and I don't know why. You'd expect a wooden steering wheel on these types of cars. Is it lucite? Great video as always!

[@samspace81]

Hot right? I loved the way the sunlight was hitting it in those video segments. Honestly I'm not sure, I always called the old materials bakelite or lucite. Its beautiful. I'm sure someone will chime in that knows if we're lucky :) Thank you Randy I appreciate that.

[@geoben1810]

@@samspace81 I'm not sure if there was a difference between Lucite and Baklite. Baklite was always colored and not TRANSLUCENT. It could very well be Lucite.

[@paulmarkel6233]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@samspace81]

You are so welcome!

[@PAUL_K]

L.A. Noire video game has this Lincoln. 1946 cabriolet. My favorite car in the game Exhaust sound and idle is amazing!

[@samspace81]

Thats awesome, appreciate you watching & commenting

[@gerometorribio2127]

A beautiful car, lovingly displayed in this masterfully shot video. Better than most quickly done “for Cale” videos. If Lincoln produced a modern car halfway as glamorous as this they could outsell Cadillac.

[@samspace81]

Thank you for your kind words, loved this car too. Hope you are a subscriber now - SAM

[@mthomas8327]

Appears the car has a lot of pickup while cruising and ride real smooth.

[@samspace81]

It really does, great low end torque. moves pretty good with modern traffic, glad you noticed! Thanks for the comment. Floats down the road.

[@OffTheJacks]

I love that dashboard!

[@samspace81]

What a great car. Steering wheel too

[@mauriceouellette7514]

Bonjour du Canada It's a beautifull car green like that

[@samspace81]

I agree! Do you like the red interior with it?

[@fernandoromero3724]

WOOOOW!!!

[@davidmcleod7757]

nice car

[@samspace81]

Thanks David for checking it out and taking time to comment

[@scottbeardsley7848]

At 50 seconds in, he looked in the mirror a red light was blinking

[@samspace81]

My camera maybe, I'll check. Thanks Scott for watching

[@charleslayton9463]

What an astonishingly beautiful car! About that trunk: I'd hate to muscle a heavy set of luggage in and out. Oh, I forgot: my "man" will get the luggage. Does it have overdrive?

[@samspace81]

It did! Thanks Charles for watching

[@MrDanielmarlowe]

Is that a Bakelite steering wheel?.. I have never seen a steering wheel like that. Outstanding machine…

[@samspace81]

Yes, translucent I've seen a handful of these cars now & filmed on here. Very very cool! Thanks for the comment Daniel

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

That's a really special car! Can I have it?

[@samspace81]

Yes you can 👍

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

@@samspace81 Thank You! You're a real peach.

[@samspace81]

Lol these cars are really undervalued

[@johnskogman5623]

Also saw a 73 Chev Caprice next to a 2006/2007 Ford Taures. Close to same size. width anyway. Caprice might have been couple inches longer.

[@samspace81]

Caprice is not quite as long

[@dennis885600]

Got myself a '79 Pontiac Bonneville wich is 5.5 meters/214inch/18 feet + a huge tow hook behind it. And it's pretty big in comparison to the European cars here. The parking spots are ridiculously tiny. Most of the time you've got to use 2 parking spots.

[@paullesho]

Absolutely American! Built to last.

[@samspace81]

Absolutely, thank you for watching & commenting

[@Manintoga]

Just needs a stainless steel 12 to 1 exhaust system with RC bypass valves.

[@samspace81]

Sounds gnarly

[@evenberg8499]

Actually, this make is called "Continental", hence the spare tire at the back.

[@samspace81]

Class

[@titanicwhiz]

Floor it!! lol

[@samspace81]

We couldn't, might burn the tires off with big V12 wound up about 9 grand.

[@christopherrodrigez1074]

Same like my car ...

[@samspace81]

Wonderful. These cars are underappreciated and should be worth more $

[@VADORT]

WHEN USA MADE BEST CARS OF THE WORLD !!

Yes! 💯

Is it wrong to be physically aroused by a car? 😍💕😍💕😍💕😍💕

[@samspace81]

Nope, that means I'm doing my job. Thanks for watching the Samspace81 classic car channel

[@goodboybuddy1]

A really beautiful car displayed in a most unattractive setting. Couldn’t you do it more justice?

[@samspace81]

Geez, I'll try harder next time. Thanks for watching Samspace81. I'm not working with these car dealers anymore either, lot more creative freedom

[@johnskogman5623]

They are not actually that big, saw an older car from 50's (59 Belaire I think) next to midsize 2010 malibu. Malibu was alittle bigger.

[@samspace81]

No, its big. 220 inches long (over 18 feet!)

[@johnbrown2163]

First five seconds. HAHAHAHAHA WOW!!

[@samspace81]

Thanks for watching ;)

[@tracy4good]

Well, it looks like your car has vacuum power Windows and a push-to-start ignition but no infotainment system. Good lord !!!
