Here we have a 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Executive Limousine, hand built by Hess and Eisenhart of Cincinnati, Ohio. The same company that built the infamous X-100 Lincoln that was transporting then president Kennedy on the day of his assassination. This is 1 of only 34 built and 1 of only 9 left in the world!!

Because these cars were hand built, production was limited and costs were high. This particular Limo cost $10,230.00 when new, that's $4,000 more than the highest priced Lincoln available that year. They were possessions of the truly elite including the King of Rock Elvis Presley, President JFK and Frank Sinatra. Elvis's car recently sold for $556,500.

All the limousines were highly optioned with power windows, power locks, electric headlight dimmer, power driver's seat, dual air conditioning and remote trunk release. Offered only with Black exteriors with a padded vinyl roof. They had leather interior in the driver's compartment and cloth in the passenger area.

The mechanicals of this Lincoln have been gone through. The power brake booster and master cylinder are brand new, the fuel pump and filter are also recent. The complete exhaust is new including new manifold gaskets and mufflers. The starter and carburetor were just rebuilt and the vinyl top is newer. The wide white wall tires are newer and have lots of tread left.

The body was resprayed in the original Black color a few years ago. The body is straight and the paint is shiny. All of glass is in good shape less some minor delamination. The engine compartment is clean and neat. The trunk is solid and retains the original spare tire and factory jack.

The previous owner of 17 years was an avid car collector with many quality vehicles to his credit. This is a very rare and significant vehicle. With only 9 known to still exist, chances are that you will not see another one for many years to come.

Please feel free to call Jon with any questions at 810-252-7308 anytime. I can answer all questions and also give a walk around description in real time. I have over 200 pictures available via email. Please send your email address through ebay messages and I will send them to you right away.

In full disclosure, this is not a perfect car. The power windows need some work, the A/C is not hooked up, the body has a few small touchups and a couple small bubbles. Upon closer inspection, the bumpers and trim show age. All vehicles over 10 years old should be considered one of a kind and very subjective pieces of classic art.

We welcome all questions, offers and inspections. Inspection companies are also welcome. The description is our opinion only, we can not guarantee the mileage of vehicles over 10 years old. We do not recommend driving a classic car home, out on the open road, miles from home, is not the place to get familiar with your new classic. We always recommend enclosed shipping. Let us know if you would like a shipping quote through our usual shipper.

Every vehicle has it's own strengths and weaknesses. With that in mind all our vehicles are sold AS IS/WHERE IS with no warranty expressed or implied. Please request the additional pictures as they will show more details of the vehicle. International Buyers: We are well versed in the export process and required paperwork. Let us know if you would like a shipping quote to the port. Are you new to ebay? Give us a call and we will be happy to walk you through the process. Happy Motoring and Good Luck!! Jon 810-252-7308

Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled

Wed, Apr 27 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
