FABULOUS CLASSIC 1961 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL SILVER SUICIDE 4-DOOR approx. 38,250 miles

 

This is a used vehicle, 53 years old, that has been beautifully and majorly restored.  I purchased this car from a California owner who had not driven it in years, and have spent the last year reinstating it to its former glory.  There are natural interior signs of wear for a car of this era, but in the interest of preserving its originality, these accoutrements were not changed.  The chrome letters, interior, and excellent dash are factory original.  This is the best '61 you will see for a long time.  Any owner would be proud to drive it.  Feels like riding in wad of bubble gum!  Please read the "Item Specifics" box carefully to understand all the features.

 

Please review RESTORATION and REPLACEMENT work done the last year:

 

Re-Paint original silver color, Re-Chrome bumpers and trims, Moldings & Lettering removed & polished before painting, front end Bushings, Tires [4] 950 X 14 broad white-walls & Alignment, Brakes, Starter, Battery, Carburetor, Distributor & Wiring, Alternator, Fuel pump, Belts, Radiator, Muffler system, electric [4] Window motors, Air Compressor rebuilt, Windshield resurfaced, Original spare tire, new trunk lining, Owner's manual & factory rubber floor mats with logo -- with additional new ones included.  I have described all honestly and to my best ability.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
