1957 Continental Mark II.  Believed to have less than 500 sold in 1957, so this is a rare car, only manufactured for the 1956 and 1957 model years.  This car is in driver condition.  It was originally a black car.  It was restored many years ago and changed to red.  The body has some metal and fiberglass patches.  The paint shines, but does have nicks and chips throughout.  The stainless is in nice condition.  The front bumper in good condition.  The rear bumper presentable, but some dings and touched up with silver paint.  

The interior was also re-done in the original style but with vinyl instead of leather.  It looks very fresh.  The seats are comfortable and without any tears or appreciable wear.  The dash and door panels look very nice without any cracking or damage beyond minor wear.  The carpet is in good condition.  
The transmission was rebuilt, engine gaskets replaced, new hoses, new brakes all around including new master cylinder done in 2007 per receipts.  
The radiator recored in 2012. 
The car starts easily and runs very nicely.  It goes down the street straight and smooth.  The transmission shifts well and there is plenty of torque to get this heavy car moving with ease.  It is a lot of fun to drive. 
The wing windows and front windows are power and work. 
The horn works. 

The bad:
The hood needs adjustment.  Not sure if the hinges need to be rebuilt or if a simple adjustment would work.  It sits high near the windshield.  However it opens and closes without a problem. 
There is an exhaust leak. 
The parking brake is inoperable. 
The rear power windows do not work. 
The wipers do not work. 
The heater core is disconnected, I assume because it leaked? 
The only option this car does not have is AC. 
The original air filter housing is missing. 
The frame has rust in the usual places. 
The gauges do not work. The mileage reads 38516, but is clearly not accurate. 
There is some rust bubbling where the patches meet the original sheet metal over the rear wheel openings. 
The bias ply tires, while they have a lot of tread, are old. 
The windshield and passenger wing window have small pellet type holes (see picture) and passenger window cracked. 


I think this car would make a great driver.  If I kept it, I would adjust the hood, replace the tires, and fix the exhaust leak and drive it.  It may be a little too much of a project for a new restoration, but that depends on your abilities and desires.  These cars are worth a lot restored.  

I need to get rid of this car as I pushed my luck with my wife.  This is the 5th car I bought on Ebay in the last couple of years.  My wife has been supportive and happy, until now.  We don't have room for any more.  If this one doesn't go, I'll have to get rid of another.  I figure this one will be the easiest to sell and none of us have become attached to it, yet!

A winning bid is a binding contract to purchase.  Please ask all questions before bidding and I encourage inspection of the vehicle.  Vehicle sold as is without any warranty.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring brings plug-in hybrid tech to the small crossover

Wed, Nov 20 2019

LOS ANGELES — When the new Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair were launched, the Corsair was strangely lacking a hybrid variant like the cheaper Ford. The reason for this is that Lincoln was preparing a slightly more advanced hybrid for the small luxury crossover. The 2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring elevates itself over the Ford by bringing plug-in capability and a different kind of all-wheel drive. At the front of the Corsair, the powertrain is the same as the Ford Escape. It's a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-4 and an electric motor powering the front wheels. But at the back, Lincoln has added another electric motor with a single-speed transmission to power the rear wheels, just like Toyota has been doing in the all-wheel-drive versions of the Toyota Prius, RAV4 Hybrid and Lexus UX250h. In addition to giving the Corsair four driven wheels, it brings total horsepower up to 266 ponies, an increase of 66 over the Ford. Having this rear motor opens up lots of freedom for how much power is given to the rear wheels, and a Lincoln representative said that the rear can go into a coasting or free-wheeling state when cruising for efficiency. Supplying electricity to the Corsair Grand Touring is a floor-mounted 14.4-kWh battery pack. Lincoln estimates it will provide enough power for the Corsair to drive about 26 miles on a charge. Neither the battery nor the rear motor take up any interior space, so rear passenger and cargo capacity remain the same as the regular Corsair. Charging can be done at Level 1 or Level 2 chargers, with the former taking 10 to 11 hours and the latter taking 3 to 4 hours. DC fast charging is not available, something that's featured on the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Hybrid mechanical bits aside, the Corsair Grand Touring is just like any other Corsair. The only indicators that it's a hybrid are the unique grille, 20-inch wheels, blue badging and additional door for the charging plug. The Grand Touring comes standard with Lincoln's cell-phone key system, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist and automatic high-beams. Automatic parking, a head-up display and adaptive cruise control are all options. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but will likely revealed closer to the on-sale date in the summer of 2020. Looking at the price structure for the Aviator, which also has a Grand Touring plug-in hybrid variant, the Corsair Grand Touring could be priced above the current range-topping Reserve trim.

Lincoln hopes month-by-month leasing will woo luxury clients

Wed, Nov 29 2017

Lincoln is launching a new subscription-based service that will allow customers to lease any of its vehicles on a month-by-month basis as part of a new suite of services aimed at offering flexibility and converting buyers. The luxury brand has also been operating a pilot program in which dealers bring Lincoln vehicles to consumers' homes for them to test drive on their own time — and sometimes even complete the entire sales process at their homes. Lincoln also announced on the heels of the L.A. Auto Show a new collaboration with Clear, a company that provides expedited screening at security gates at airports and sports arenas, plus an expansion of its Lincoln Personal Driver service, formerly known as Lincoln Chauffeur, to Dallas. Kumar Galhotra, Lincoln's president, said the company is trying to create a brand experience for consumers that is warm, human and effortless, and that the new services are based on consumer research that equates time with luxury. "We take this philosophy of warm, human and effortless, and we really embed it" in the vehicles and ownership experience, he said. Lincoln plans to launch its vehicle subscription service early next year, likely in "a couple California cities," Galhotra said, that allows consumers to lease any Lincoln vehicle on a monthly basis. While Lincoln did not announce pricing, the program is based on Ford Credit's Canvas program, which offers monthly subscriptions to pre-owned Ford vehicles and come with insurance, maintenance and warranty coverage. The service is so far offered only in the Bay Area and parts of Los Angeles. The service appears to be similar to the $1,500-a-month Book by Cadillac service and Care by Volvo. Robert Parker, Lincoln's global director of marketing, sales and service, said the service will allow consumers the option of upgrading to larger-size vehicles without being locked into a traditional two-year lease. "We acknowledge the fact that we are a challenger brand. We're not at the scale of the Germans," Parker said. "We certainly aspire to continue to grow, that's not our No. 1 focus.
