Solid original car with just one repaint. Top is fully functional! Nice older repaint, good leather interior, no issues underneath. Not perfect, but a nice cruiser that will appreciate with a bit of TLC. This 1966 Continental convertible is a nicely preserved survivor that seems to have enjoyed just a single repaint in its five decades of life. Royal Maroon is the car's original color, a rich burgundy with a bit of gold underneath that looks right on the massive convertible. Judging from the door jambs and other isolated areas, the color match is extremely close to the factory finish and the overall patina of the repaint would make it rather easy to pass it off as a 100% original car. The chrome and trim are quite likely original 1966 pieces, so none of it is perfect, but it all suits the car so well that it would be a shame to restore it. Lenses, glass, and other delicate parts all remain in very good shape and there's still nothing like showing up at an event in 19 feet of Continental ragtop with a little character. The black leather interior is likewise original and well-preserved, albeit showing some signs of age. The seating surfaces show moderate wear and some light cracking, but no major splits or tears, and as with the bodywork, it's probably just too nice to restore—give the leather some conditioning and it'll look just right. Accessories include factory A/C, power windows and seat, tilt steering column, AM/8-track stereo radio with power antenna, and a stylish clock in front of the passenger. Perhaps most critical on any of these cars are the incredibly complex top mechanisms, which were derived from the folding hardtop system found on the 1950s Ford Retractables. Hit the switch under the dash or use the convenient key-operated switch on the quarter panel (which provides trunk access from the rear-hinged deck lid), and the nicely-fitted white top disappears into the trunk in a mechanical ballet that you could probably sell tickets to attend. Lincoln's massive 462 cubic inch V8 provides the kind of grunt that makes moving almost 6000 pounds of sheetmetal feel effortless, and these cars are superlative long-distance cruisers. Obviously freshened with a coat of corporate Ford Blue paint, the big V8 starts easily and idles so smoothly that you're tempted to hit the starter even after it's already running. It remains in stock condition with no modifications save for routine maintenance items and it's quite likely that the mileage shown is authentic given the condition of the mechanical components. The undercarriage shows a light coat of undercoating material that hides nothing, so it's easy to see that the critical areas are in good order. Original factory assembly markings are still visible on many of the components and where the rustproofing compound has worn away, the original red oxide primer is visible, more evidence that this car has never been rusty or wrecked. Other recent components include the mufflers and tailpipes, which give it a muscular exhaust note that suits the big luxury car just fine. The original wheels and hubcaps are protected by a set of recent 235/75/15 Dayton whitewall tires that look exactly right on the big ragtop. We know this isn't a perfect car. The interior is 50 years old and might be showing a few signs of age, but things like the bodywork and undercarriage are extremely solid and perhaps most importantly, the top works like it should. Like many formerly affordable cars, these suicide door Lincoln convertibles have been steadily appreciating and finding one that isn't a basket case or a $50,000 investment is getting harder all the time. If a driver-grade Continental is what you're seeking, this is a good car to put on the road.

Ford recalls 462,000 SUVs over faulty rear camera

Fri, Jan 27 2023

Ford has had some issues with its backup cameras in recent years, and the troubles are continuing with yet another recall announced today. In this recall, certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with the 360-degree parking camera could lose the rear-view camera feed. The newest recall affects some 462,000 vehicles worldwide, Reuters reports, including 382,759 in the U.S. under NHTSA recall 23V-022. The recall applies to the 2020-2023 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, as well as the 2020-2022 Lincoln Corsair. The remedy involves dealers updating the vehicles’ image processing module software free of charge. This latest issue expands a previous recall, and applies to vehicles that have already been serviced under recall 21V-735. Owners will be notified by mail around February 20, and owners can also contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford told NHTSA that it first became aware in October 2021 of a small number of complaints of a blue screen from the rear camera feed on vehicles that had already been repaired. Ford worked with suppliers to track down the potential issue, and said warranty claims remained low until December 2022, when it started to see more claims for blue screens in vehicles produced after the last remedy, at which point Ford ordered a stop-ship on those vehicle lines. Ford said itÂ’s aware of 17 minor accident reports related to the issue, but no injuries. In addition to this recall, Ford has had other camera issues in the past few years that resulted in recalls. NHTSA recall 22V-151 applied to 2021-2022 Edge SUVs experiencing Â“a distorted, black and white, or discolored screenÂ” when reversing. 2021-2022 Ford Broncos had an issue where the rear-view camera would remain on even after the vehicle was put back into a forward gear. Last year, Ford recalled 330,000 Mustangs for faulty cameras, as well as 277,000 Super Duty trucks over foggy rear-view cameras. In 2021, NHTSA opened an investigation into whether Ford was slow to recall more than 620,000 vehicles for faulty cameras. Recalls Ford Lincoln Safety Crossover SUV

2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open

Fri, Dec 6 2019

Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48.Â The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phaseÂ for the new Explorers and Aviators.

Ford recalls 200,000 vehicles for brake lights that won't turn off

Wed, Jan 19 2022

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a new recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles because their brake lights may not turn off. Drivers of affected vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may also be able to shift the vehicles out of Park even when their foot is off the brake. That increases the risk of a rollaway and could cause a crash. According to documentation posted on NHTSA's recall hub, a separated brake pedal bumper is to blame for the issue. The recall applies to "certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii." The safety regulator adds that "exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to disintegrate and separate from the brake pedal." Owners of affected vehicles should expect notification of the recall in early March. They will be directed to the dealership of their choice to have their brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers replaced free of charge. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
