1979 Town Car with RARE Factory Glass Roof,Williamsburg Edition, Nice!

1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car with Fixed Glass Roof

Williamsburg Edition with all options checked including with ultra-rare glass roof option.   Has some small dings in driver’s side rear door, and one in the passenger side front fender.  Otherwise, body is very straight and solid.  Some fading of paint on hood and trunk surfaces…but an easy ten footer.   Chrome is straight and shiny, vinyl coach roof is excellent, all glass including the roof panel is excellent (no hazing, no scratches).  Undercarriage is quite clean and 100% solid, engine compartment has always been kept very clean and it shows.  Runs and drives great, with lots of recent maintenance done (tires, brakes, exhaust, tune-up, shocks, etc...).  Leather interior is nearly flawless with wear areas visible only in the driver’s seat, and not bad there.  Headliner, door panels, carpet, mats, dash….all excellent.

For 1979, the Williamsburg Edition meant a choice of seven two-tone paint schemes (this one is Cordovan Metallic / Crystal Apricot Metallic), and a long list of options as standard including 6-way power seats, with reclining feature for the passenger, carpeted trunk, power vent windows, premium moldings, more.    What makes this car an even more unusual find is the list of additional options added on (aside from the glass top) including factory CB radio integrated with the top of the line AM/FM/8-track Quadraphonic stereo system with the neat seek button on the floor.   This one even has the visor integrated garage door opener.   The list of other options goes on and on….I have the original Tentative Pricing Guide (order sheet) from Lincoln to the dealership that sold the car new – lists all details of option packages with prices, body and trim codes, etc.  The glass roof option was discontinued just a couple months into ’79 production, making this one especially rare (how many of those could have been Williamsburg cars also?).  More documentation and pictures are available.

I just returned from a 600 mile trip with this car and would go anywhere in it tomorrow.  It has been driven sparingly, but more important – regularly, its whole life – totaling only 116K miles or less than 4000 per year on average.  114K of those miles with the original owner.  Heat is good and hot, A/C is ice cold right now, and the stereo even still sounds pretty good.  Headlight doors stay closed (no vacuum leaks), no smells, no noises, no leaks,..…
