I have a 1956 Continental MK11., one of only 2550 produced that year at a cost of $10,000 list, imagine that value in todays market?
This could be a very unique car as it has THE ORIGINAL CLOTH inserts which was available in 1956 although every one I| have seen has always been full leather. Replacement cloth is available through SMS in Oregon.
I have owned it for 14 years, and the previous owner owned it for 24 years, and all that time it has been in dry covered storage. It seems that Wisconsin was it's original home.
The story of the MKII is well known to most people, especially fans of the car. New, in 1956 it cost $10,000.00, just think of that in todays prices !
The car is in ORIGINAL unrestored condition, not perfect but very original with, I believe, 1 repaint in the original color now showing it's age, with small areas of surface and/or minor rust areas. It is NOT an Ac car, however, it is very straight. with NOTHING MISSING! although I have to check on the jack/ wheel brace and will avise on soonest.
Included in the sale will be an ORIGINAL FACTORY SHOP MANUAL, with worn covers but clean interior pages, a Factory FOLD OUT brochure, black covers, 9x10 inches, mint, AND a FORD produced HARD COVER book, THE CONTINENTAL STORY, showing great hand drawn SEPIA "ARTY" depictions of the car and it's evolution.
I very much regret having to sell this unique car, but with retirement imminent, funds will not be available to restore it to how I want it to be, as it left the Factory.

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
Lincoln scales back free maintenance
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Complimentary scheduled maintenance programs have been great tools for luxury automakers to draw in new customers, but some are starting to scale their programs back considerably. According to Automotive News, Lincoln is joining Jaguar and Volvo on the list of automakers reducing the length of time it will be providing free maintenance to its customers.
Lincoln's four-year/50,000-mile maintenance program first kicked off as an incentive in 2010 and became permanent later that year, but starting with the 2014 model year, this will be cut to just two years and 24,000 miles. This could make short-term leases even more appealing for some consumers, but according to Automotive News, some Lincoln dealers are unhappy with the scaling back. The move admittedly comes at an odd time for Lincoln, with parent Ford seemingly working hard to increase consideration among luxury buyers as it looks to reverse the marque's long decline.
