1967 Lincoln Continental 4 Door Sedan with "Suicide" Doors - Only 42,000 MIles! This is a 100 percent stock, unmolested rare find and 100 percent complete (except for one missing small trim piece on the front (see pics). MECHANICAL: - Runs/drives/shifts/stops/starts fine - Recent complete tune-up (plugs/points/wires etc) and fluid change - Recent new brake parts/repairs - Newly-rebuilt original carb - New fuel pump/fuel lines/gas tank clean out - Several new front-end parts - Does have some exhaust noise BODY: - Super straight sheet metal!- no dents or noticeable dings - Finished in original "champaign metallic" color (repainted once with fading on top surfaces and some scratches/chips here and there) - Black "embassy" roof (replaced in past) - Minor rust along trunk lip, on lower bottom of passenger rear door, under vinyl top, and along both rear lower quarters (see pics for close-ups) - floors/frame etc all fine - Driver quality chrome/brightwork (some fading on bumpers). NOTE: front bumper was loosened on one side in pics to get missing trim piece back on - do not have missing piece) - Needs trunk lock re-installed (have it in a box) INTERIOR: - All original black cloth interior with no rips/tears in seats or door panels (except minor cracks on driver door panel arm pad) - fabric has some fading - Crack in dash along speaker edge (as almost all 67 Lincolns have) - Original carpet is in good shape - couple of worn spots here and there - Headliner has a couple small holes (where it looks like something poked it) ELECTRICAL: - Car sat for a number of years with prior owner so many of the electrical systems need to be cleaned/attended to - Windows are not working (driver goes down but needs help) - Brake lights/taillights/dash lights not working - Wipers have been disconnected (work but will not stop) - Radio and power ant both work great - Power seat working Overall, this is a terrific, all stock, super straight, LOW mileage, highly-collectible "suicide door" Lincoln that just needs electrical repairs and cosmetic refreshing/restoration to be either a nice driver or great restoration piece (with more work). I just do not have the time to work on this one at this point. Please ask ALL questions BEFORE bidding as the car is NOT 100 percent perfect show piece and is not being held out as such - please feel free to come inspect the car before bidding as the car is sold AS IS with no warranties, express or implied. Given the brake light issue, the car should likely be transported. I am not interested in any trades. Thanks! |

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party
Mon, 27 Oct 2014At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.
