1956 (lincoln) Continental Mark Ii on 2040-cars
Williamston, North Carolina, United States
|
A rare 1956 Continental Mark II. It has been stored inside a garage for over 30 years. I bought it as part of an estate sale. I am a Lincoln (and Continental) enthusiast and had my eye on this car for over 20 years. This particular car, in my opinion, is quite restorable. It spent it's early years in Pennsylvania and I am certain there is where the rust that it has came from. It does have rust coming up, from the bottom of the fenders but, amazingly the doors are rust-free and close like a bank vault. The hood and trunk are essentially rust-free. In fact, any rust that you can actually see is minor surface rust. Because the tires were flat (and would not hold air) I have not been able to inspect the frame... even with only my hand. Based on how solid the car remained while being pulled up on a roll-back truck (and also let down) and how the doors open and close like that of a new car I feel, strongly, for the right person (ie. someone who can do all of their body work, engine work, etc.) that this would be an awesome way of having and owning this extraordinary car at a reasonable price (it's value will only increase). The seats are blue and white leather. In many ways they are good enough for a daily driver. The car does not have air conditioning. I don't want to leave out the fact that the car will need new floor pans as in the driver's footwell they are rusted-through in many areas. The car is still sturdy enough for one to sit inside and the front seat remains at a normal height. The head light bezels are in the trunk. The car only has two correct hubcaps.The chrome-plating must have been to an incredibly high quality as the bumpers are still shiny. In any event, please feel free to e-mail me with questions and if necessary you can call me. The car is not currently running (or I should say I have not tried to turn the engine over). The trunk floor is completely solid with the exception of a small amount of rust where the spare tire sits. I photographed the bottom of the door sills and the doors themselves... they are not rusty.

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For 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.
Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
