1961 Lincoln convertible. Purchased from an estate, this car was in storage for almost 20 years. It was represented to me, by the former owners friend, that the miles are actual but I cannot verify. Beautful black leather interior is in remarkable condition with leather soft and flexible and seat padding soft and firm. Dash and pad are near perfect. Carpet is new but the rest of the interior is original and very nice. Body is sound with some very light rust in isolated spots (see photos) but no rust-through anywhere on car. Right quarter appears to have had some body work done above the rear wheel. Car has been repainted it's original white but paint is a ten footer or a nice driver. Grille is perfect. Brightwork all in good condition. Tailight will be replaced before end of auction. Car runs, drives and shifts very well and could be driven anywhere with a new set of tires. Brake system has been overhauled. Fluids changed and fuel system cleaned. All lights and electrical components work correctly including all power windows and power seat. Radio, heater, speedometer, wipers and all gauges work correctly. Power top and trunk lift work correctly. Vacumn power locks do not work. Top is original and probably will need to be replaced in the future. Car is located in Austin, Mn. and available for a test drive anytime during the auction. If you cannot inspect before end of auction the buyer, after paying deposit via paypal, will have ten days to inspect and pay for the car. If the buyer upon inspection does not want the car for any reason one-half of his deposit will be refunded. I will assist in locating shipping for the buyer if needed. Any questions please e-mail or call 507 279-0752. John

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
