This car has been in storage for over 28 years and is in great condition. As mentioned, the only
visible defects are a 4 hairline crack on the corner of the windshield glass, and a crack in the corner of the
driver’s window, but we are including the replacement glass for this crack in the trunk, so this should not be
considered a problem. This vehicle has up-to-date California title.

Here is some fascinating additional information regarding the Continental Mark II brand:

The Continental Mark II is a personal luxury car that was produced by Continental in 1956 and 1957. An attempt to
build a post-World War II car to rival the greatest of the pre-War era, or anything produced in Europe, it is
regarded as a rare and elegant classic. The new Continental was not intended to be the largest or most powerful
automobile; rather, the most luxurious and elegant American car available, designed to recapture the spirit of the
great classics of the prewar period with prices to match. There was something of the style of the early Ford
Thunderbird at the front, which was introduced earlier at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954, with a
tasteful egg-crate grille; a long, curving hood; and straight fenders to the headlights. The fender line went back
to behind the doors, at which point the line kicked up a little before curving back down to the taillights. Little
chrome was used compared to other vehicles of the time, and the only two-tone paint combinations offered were
limited to roofs being contrasted with bodies. The car had power steering, power brakes, power windows, power
seats, power vent windows, and a tachometer. The vanes on the wheel covers were individually bolted inside the
frame of the cover. It sported a high greenhouse and a wraparound windscreen. Fueling was accomplished via a swing
away left taillight. The Continental Mark II had only one option, air conditioning, for $595. Cars with A/C had
different body parts. Most of the car was hand-built to an exacting standard, including the application of multiple
coats of paint, hand sanding, double lacquering, and polishing to perfection. From today's vantage point, it can be
argued that the Continental Mark II was successful at being what it was intended to be: an American Rolls-Royce or
Bentley, and a re-creation of the grand cars of the thirties. Today, approximately half of the original 3,000 cars
still exist.

2022 Lincoln Corsair starts at $37,300

Tue, Jan 18 2022

A week ago, we posted on price increases and reductions Ford applied to the 2022 Escape. Ford Authority reveals that automaker money men have been working similar equations on MSRPs for the Escape's platform mate, the 2022 Lincoln Corsair. Similar to what was done with the Escape, the Corsair sees a small increase on one of the lower trims and reductions on the upper trims. The discounts are offset slightly by the destination charge going up by $100, from $1,095 to $1,195. The entry-level, front-wheel-drive Corsair only goes up by that higher destination charge, its MSRP sticking at $36,105 and coming to $37,300 after destination. Sending power to the rear wheels raises the price by $200, half of that in the MSRP, totaling $39,600.Â Â The Corsair Reserve with front-wheel drive comes down by $2,125, to $42,020. Opting for all-wheel drive shaves the discount a tad to $2,025, for a total of $44,320. This is no freebie, the reduction coming thanks to product planners removing the 14-speaker Reveal Audio System from the list of standard equipment. Putting that stereo back into the Reveal will cost $3,300, but that price is the result of combining options packages so it does include extra equipment. Audiophiles need to choose the Luxury Package, which costs $2,200; however, in order to get the Luxury, they'll also need to choose the $1,100 Elements package, a cold-weather group with features like a heated steering wheel and seats, and windshield wiper de-icer.Â Â Note, at the time of writing, the Corsair Reserve configurator is a little confusing. It still lists the "Revel Audio System with 14-Speakers including Subwoofer" as standard under the Radio Type tab. Under Audio Upgrade, it lists "Lincoln Premium Audio System with 14-Speakers Including Subwoofer," and wants to charge $3,300 for that. This is backward. The Lincoln Premium Audio is a 10-speaker system, and it's the one that comes standard in 2022.Â The Corsair Grand Touring, which only comes with all-wheel drive, drops $60 on MSRP but overall climbs by $40 with the destination charge, to $51,525. The Corsair, like the Escape, is due for a refresh for the 2023 model year that could bring a new powertrain besides the expected interior revisions. A brand new Escape/Corsair duo has been predicted for 2025. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Tesla offered nuclear plant in France, and more | Autoblog Minute

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Longtime GM design chief Ed Welburn retires, Lincoln says it has high customer interest in Continental, and could Tesla build the Model 3 in France? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] General Motors' long time Vice President of design, Ed Welburn, announced his retirement this week. He joined GM in 1972 and he's just the sixth design chief in GM's 108 years. He's being replaced by Michael Simcoe who is Vice President of design for GM's international operations. Now Ed Welburn's time at GM dates back to when he was 11 years old. He wrote a letter to the company saying he wanted to be a designer. [00:00:30] Someone at General Motors got back to him and the rest is history. Lincoln already has 40,000 hand raisers for the new Continental. Now those aren't Tesla figures but it's still a very healthy number and shows a lot of interest for its new flagship sedan. The Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln's lineup. Continental will be in showrooms this fall and it will offer a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo with 400 HP. Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra said, "No other Lincoln vehicle has [00:01:00] generated this much interest in this little time." This week in Tesla news, Reuters reports that a French government official has offered Elon Musk the site of a an old nuclear reactor to build a car factory. The reactor, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is set to close at the end of this year. Now this notion is not that far fetched. Musk says that he would consider it. Meanwhile demand for the Model 3 continues to be strong and has attracted hundreds of thousands of hand raisers. [00:01:30] Those are the highlights form the week that was. Be sure to come back this Saturday for my full recap where I'll have additional insights into the automotive industry. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
