Equipped with disc brakes front and rear, the Lincoln ensures confident stopping power. The 20-inch Sofia V2 chrome wheels with whitewall tires add a touch of classic flair to the modern underpinnings.
Inside, the custom Isotope electric bucket seats, finished in Nappa Italian leather with a perforated diamond pattern, provide a luxurious and comfortable ride. The cabin features a modern steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, and a RetroSound Bluetooth radio for a blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. Other features include air conditioning by Restomod, power door lock actuators, and a powerful sound system.
