There is a Facebook Group for Continentals. If you use Facebook, it would be a good start.

You might want to join the LCOC or Lincoln Continental Owners Club. Parts for Lincolns are a lot harder to find so a person needs contact with those that have these fine cars and have been where you are now. There are only a few guys that deal with NOS and reproduction parts for them.

harvest,
I have a decent amount of parts for the 1958 - 1960 Lincoln's, all NEW and N.O.S.
It is a very tough class of cars for parts, indeed. Nothing is reproduced for them.
I have a few sets of those Brake Shoes N.O.S. --- Very Tough --- 11" x 3 1/2" !!!!!

I can probably supply you with Front & Rear Springs...
A Gas Tank, however, is probably going to have to be "re - conditioned" / boiled out and coated from your local radiator shop that do that....

Always best to simply call me --- Craig --- 516 - 485 - 1935......

fuel tank I used a 1970s ford pick up tank and moved the fill tube to the middle. same fuel sender. Rear springs? mine was coil springs. air shocks
solved that. far as I know rear leaf springs came on 1960 . Then try Bakers
in Putnam CT right on rt 44. He does 1961s and up but has a lot of 430 engine parts brake boosters and etc. good guy . Then Herb use to be mainly convertables think he renamed the shop and moved. He is loaded with new
and good use'd parts. He was the only one that got my automatic headlights
working . He was the only one that got my low fuel red light working witch was some kind of a PC card looks like a relay but he knows his Lincolns. sam
