What you are looking at is one of the most iconic vehicles that I know of, the JFK car. Even though I believe the original JFK car was 63 Lincoln Continental, this car actually originated in Texas as well. I still have the original license plate that was issued to this vehicle in 1964. I hate to part with this car but due to purchase of a new house this must go. So here we go.
What you are looking at is a numbers matching 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible fully loaded with the original 430 V8 motor and transmission. This black beauty looks quite cool with all black exterior and beautiful red interior. I have taken this Lincoln to multiple car shows and rarely do you see these cars in public. Due to California weather, I always have the top down and rarely have a need to put the top up. Lets start with the exterior. The paint is very nice, however it is several years old. So if you are looking for a perfect car, this car is not for you. With that said, the car has some minor imperfections but nothing major. It does not have any rust issues. It does have a few chips here and there but you do have to look for them. The chrome is in great condition and looks good. However, with an afternoon you can get the chrome to polish and look even better. The interior is very clean, non smoker, no rips or tears in the seats or carpet. The car does have power seats and power everything. The radio, heater, power antenna, power locks, seats, windows, convertible top, lights, etc all work. The convertible top does go up and down. The trunk opens and closes as it should. If you know Lincoln Continentals than you should know that the electronics on these cars are finicky. You do have to tinker with this every now and then. Back in 1964 this Lincoln was the highest optioned car available and sold for well over $8000.00 and they only made around 3,328 of these convertibles. So when was the last time you saw one. I did have all of the power equipment working and had all of the window switches completely rebuilt. All the motors do work, however you just may need to reset the relays. I also have Lincoln Continental manual that breaks down this car down to the very last relay.

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
