1956 Lincoln Mark Ii With Only 46,000 Original Miles Vintage,antique,collector on 2040-cars
Saukville, Wisconsin, United States
|
The 1956-1957 Lincoln Continental Mark II was the mid-'50s successor to the original Continental of the '40s. It was magnificently styled by a team including John Reinhart, William Clay Ford, and Gordon Buehrig. Engineer Harley Copp's unique "cowbelly" frame dipped low to permit high seating without a tall body. With Multi-Drive three-speed automatic and a balanced, individually tested Lincoln V-8, the Mark II was marketed as an image leader intended to steal Cadillac's thunder in the ultra-luxury class. Im selling this for a 79 year old man that owns the business next to me and wants to sell some of his toys....more to be listed 57 chevy with 30k miles, 65 impala convertible, 65 jeepster. He had this car since 1970 and put it on jackstands in heated storage in 1986 until about 2 weeks ago when fresh gas a new battery and it drove 18 miles here and I drove it around also. Runs great idles great and everything is here as if it was still 1956. title is clear and what a cool rare car. IT has a huge 368 v8 with 285 horsepower and luxurious interior. Tires are still great with no dry rot and car is a cool barn find that has no rust whatsoever. They only made 1550 in 1956 and then 1000 in 1957 and that was it so there aren't many left. The only ones I could find from googling 1956 Lincoln mark 2 for sale were $59,000 and more. I can tell you I was shocked at the number he told me to put the reserve at because I think this car hasn't even truly hit its value yet. The car is huge and the body lines make you drool. The owner does have many parts for it like the spare tire and spare tire cover, new fins for hub cap where 3 were bent (all mounted separate...crazy) I put the car on the hoist here at work and I think these would be the necessary items to get it to be a cool driver that would take you anywhere. Heater core appears to be leaking mufflers need to be replaced Brakes will need to be worked on (cut drums from sitting) Change oil and go. The paint is original and cracking on top and faded pretty good and it appears somebody at one point repainted the sides to get the shine back. I totally thought this car was going to be T-bird size but its absolutely huge and amazing. Two tone leather that is showing its signs and some strange colored carpet. This would be the ultimate parade/cruise car. Shipping is available but be prepared with fuel prices that within the States it will probably be $800-$1100. Ill get quotes or you can and we will assist loading. Any questions ill try to answer or ill get the info from him but you have to scream at him in order for him to hear. Thanks and happy bidding |

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
