Franklin Mint 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet

Franklin Mint 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet diecast car

Franklin Mint had many paint choices for this car. There were no less than 8 authentic blues from which to choose for the re-paint of the popular image. They settled on what I would consider the best, Darian Blue.

The 'Limited Edition Internal Ford Use Only' issue, now discontinued, has been increasingly hard to find. This version gives those that could not obtain that model a chance to have a limited edition 1941 Lincoln with the following enhancements. Just in front of the outside rearview mirror on each side is the added script, "Lincoln Continental" in white. "Lincoln V-12" is now emblazoned in red on each of the hubcaps including the one in the continental carrier in the rear of the automobile. The steering wheel, in body color, has a white center with black "Lincoln" script. Finally, inset deep in the trunk is the hand numbered limited edition plate shown as xxxx/9,900. Differing from the Ford Use Only version, where the seats were tan with a beige boot, the interior of the new car is a saddle color. It is reminiscent of warm caramel and complimented by a convertible top boot of a slightly darker shade. The carpet is a light brown.

If the darker blue car is rich, then the new iteration is sporty. It seems to add a jaunty flair to this classic design. Close attention was given to the fit of the new diecast I believe. There seem to be tighter tolerances and yes, the trunk lid will stay open, a common malady afflicting the maroon and dark blue cars. Overall, this is a very appealing model and well worth owning.
