In late 2018, FoMoCo revealed the 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition, reviving a rather iconic feature from the past just in time to celebrate the luxury brand’s 80th anniversary. At the time, it seemed like this special model would represent little more than a niche offering, but The Blue Oval severely underestimated demand for the Lincoln Continental Coach Edition, as it built just 80 total units at first – each of which sold out in 48 hours, in spite of their $110k+ price tag. Thus, Ford decided to continue production and ultimately built 230 total units of this special luxury sedan including the 2020 model year, and today, they’re all coveted collectibles.
In recent years, we’ve seen a small handful of Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition models surface for sale at various collector car auctions, and typically command a premium in that venue. Now, this 2019 example is aiming to do precisely that after popping up for auction at Bring a Trailer with 14k miles on the clock. It should have a pretty good shot at that, given the fact that it’s number 24 of just 80 built in this model year, and it’s in stellar shape, to boot.
This particular Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition is finished in flawless White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat paint, and has an equally sanitary interior ripe with goodies such as Alpine leather heated, ventilated, power-adjustable, and massaging front seats, plus the optional Rear Seat Package that makes it perfect for hiring a chauffeur. Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine, which was rated to send 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
It’s been a mere few months since we last saw a 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition surface for sale at auction (in the same exterior color), but 2020 examples are slightly more common. We also came across an Infinite Black example a couple of years ago, as well as one finished in Crystal Chroma Blue Metallic earlier this year.
