ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The 1956 Continental Mark II needs little introduction. Elegant, expensive, hand built -- they were cars for the stars and the allure remains today. This example was recently taken out of long-term storage and is in running and driving condition, although it needs some mechanical and cosmetic freshening.

The body is straight with good gaps, no visible rust and no evidence of any accidents. Paint is in fair condition; it appears to have had one repaint in a dark green metallic which we think is close to the original color. There are some chips and dings throughout but itwould require very little in the way of bodywork if one chose to have the car repainted. Correct hubcaps are fitted on original wheels with newer tires. Most glass is in good condition; however, the driver's side vent and rear side windows are cracked. Chrome is original and although not very pitted or dinged up it could use a good polish or refinish to bring it to show level. Trunk latch has been removed.

The interior appears to be mostly original and in good condition with the exception of the steering wheel which has damage under the wrap. Upholstery, carpet, headliner and door panels are in good condition. Dash and other vinyl surfaces show well. Most power options are working including power seat, A/C and heater blowers (the A/C compressor kicks on too, but the system needs a recharge). Front main and vent windows are working, rear windows are slow. All gauges are working except for the clock. The town and country radio is intact but does not power on.

The engine fires rightup, the brakes feel good, power steering feels good and tight. It could benefit from a tune-up and will need some additional mechanical work to be a reliable driver: we have noted that the water pump is leaking and that the transmission will not engage reverse. The latter we think may be a linkage issue.

This Continental would be an easy car to bring to a "daily driver" standard with minimal effort, or an excellent starting point for a more involved restoration should you choose to go that route.

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.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
