Continuing...."1987 Lincoln Continental Excellent Running, Clean Cherry California Classic Fully Loaded.  Runs Excellent. Near Show Quality In & Out *. Extras!Only 75,000 Miles. California Garage-Kept mostly Indoors. Only 1 previous owner!  Original Vintage Glove Box Manuals, Vintage DMV Documents from 1987, and other extras. Base Model with original Givenchy logo on inside dash, I believe indicating such Choice Styling / Trim & Similar Color Options except for no Two-Tone Paint & No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats.

Although this is documented in some Car Histories as the Base Model it appears that in this 1987, last year of this styling, my car was offered with some extra styling options and a Givenchy logo on the inside dash indicating it has Givenchy Styling / Trim and Similar Color Options except for no Two Tone Paint and No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats. 

In addition to running excellent it has  Near Mint / Near Show In & Out w Extras! No Tears, No Rips, Very Few Dings / Scratches (See Extensive pics) Good Anti-Lock Brakes although the light comes on and I don't know why, Good Air Ride Suspension with Curbside Adjustment Feature = sometimes the drivers front air shock takes a little longer to fill but rides good when filled, will eventually need to be looked at or replaced, the drivers air shock does slowly empty while driving longer distances or on roads with sharp curves, i was told it may be an easy electrical module fix, (or for your awareness, I was also told that some owners of this type of vehicle like to convert the shocks with a fairly easy and affordable conversion kit).  Some areas of attention: original valve covers are probably in need of a basic tightening or valve cover for preventing oil moisture around a bottom valve covers.

Other History When We Purchased This Continental Locally:

 - We bought it from original owners in about Summer 2012
 - Previous to us the Continental sat at owners / home garage for several years as owner became ill.
 - Vehicle was periodically turned on and warmed up during sitting time of approximately 6 years.
 - Once we purchased vehicle it had been taken out of the garage a few months prior.
 - Battery on Vehicle was weak and it was replaced.
 - Upon doing so all gauges and operational motor / drive train became operational
 - At that time before battery change the digital odometer displayed original miles once car was turned on of exactly 67,437.
 - After battery change the odometer read "ERROR" and displayed no mileage. (We immediately started documenting every mile that we have put on the car hence forth via internal mileage gauge and wrote it down on a register we keep in the glove compartment)
 - For a few weeks that is all it read "ERROR"
 - Then, spontaneously one day it reset itself at: "000000.0" and started accurate displayed mileage from that point until today...where it reads "6,240" miles
 - Additionally we started researching odometer repair options and found several solutions online that we documented but did not purchase or move forward on.
 - Such solutions included a new odometer module that could be replaced in the dash and such new module would read original mileage in the car's computer and display it properly.
 - Such odometer repair parts are reasonably priced and available third party online/ebay etc. and require minimal removal of front dash plastic panel and some electrical steps in order to repair.
 - This we leave to the buyer to handle and have not considered such repair as we are selling car.
 - Actual Verifiable Mileage Displayed on Car and our registered odometer notes by hand bring mileage to 78,403 to date.  Such copies of documents and dates are available for examination at any time by bidders/buyer.
 - Regarding Vehicle Vin History Reports containing odometer reports, our records should agree with them. Note: In 2012 upon registering and California Smog inspections, such documented mileage was reported and is documented at exactly 70,203 in such vin / vehicle histories as well. California dmv, though, is mileage exempt for reporting purposes for older cars. While we did not run our own extensive CarFax for odometer purposes, others may feel free to do so. 

We did run a preliminary vin history with basic odometer report from a third party online report and such mileage does appear as stated as well as other facts that show the vehicle as clearing most of the major points one might be concerned about and we find nothing out of the ordinary to report via such history report. Our purchased basic report is available for review as an electronic document to whomever would want to review it.  An excerpt is below

Lincoln's first full EV coming in 2022 as part of electrification push

Wed, Jun 16 2021

Ford may be grabbing all the electric headlines right now, but soon Lincoln will be snagging a few, too. In a presentation to the media, the company outlined its electrification strategy for this decade, and it really kicks off next year with the first full electric Lincoln. Lincoln hasn't said much about what this 2022 EV will be like, not even whether it will be a crossover or a sedan. But the company did say the EV will be based on a modular electric platform supporting rear- or all-wheel drive. It's a new platform not related to the current Mustang Mach-E. This electric vehicle will also be the first of four full EVs launched between now and 2030. Lincoln will also increase its electrification of internal-combustion models. The goal is for the entire line-up to be electrified by 2030, and half of the brand's volume is expected to be electrified around 2026. Besides electrification, Lincoln highlighted some other steps it was taking to make the brand and the ownership experience more appealing. Technology and services were highlights. It's putting out its first over-the-air updates for the Lincoln Nautilus this summer with improvements for navigation, Apple CarPlay and the digital owner's manual. Amazon Alexa assistant is coming to Lincolns this fall, and hands-free driving assist is coming later. Lincoln is also playing with new services, such as a refueling and car cleaning service that's being tested in Houston. Finally, the company is adding more standalone retail stores with a new, more luxurious and customer-focused design. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2020 Lincoln Corsair vs 2020 Cadillac XT4 | How they compare on paper

Thu, Apr 18 2019

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair compact crossover was introduced this year to replace the aging MKC. Our first impressions are that it's a thoroughly competent luxury machine, but where it fits in the market is interesting. Given its size and price tag, the Corsair basically slots in-between compact segments, with vehicles like the Audi Q3 below and Audi Q5 above. It's a distinctive position to be in, but not a unique one, as there's another comparably sized and priced SUV -- and an American rival, no less. The Cadillac XT4 was launched just last year to be its company's smallest crossover, boasting compelling design and ample technology features.  So which is better? To give you some idea, let's take a look at each vehicle's horsepower, torque, fuel economy, space, pricing and some slightly more subjective aspects about their luxuriousness and feature sets. You'll find all the nitty gritty numbers below, followed by more detailed analysis. And if you'd like to compare other luxury crossovers, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Engines, drivetrains and driving impressions Both the Corsair and XT4 come standard with turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, but the Corsair's is more potent with 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet compared with the 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of the Cadillac. And to seal the deal, the Corsair has an optional turbo 2.3-liter engine with 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That's not only vastly better than the Cadillac, but one of the most powerful outputs in the compact luxury SUV segment. Both vehicles have standard front-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive on the base engines. The 2.3-liter Corsair has all-wheel drive standard. The Cadillac does boast an extra cog in its transmission over the Corsair's eight-speed automatic, but there's not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage to be gleaned from that. When it coes to fuel economy, the Cadillac is victorious with a 26 mpg combined rating for the front-drive model, with the front-drive 2.0-liter Corsair coming just behind with 25 mpg combined. It's a three-way tie for third with the all-wheel-drive XT4, all-wheel-drive 2.0-liter Corsair and 2.3-liter Corsair all returning 24 mpg combined. Of course, the all-wheel-drive Corsairs have a small advantage here in that it delivers more power and torque than the Cadillac with the same fuel economy.

Lincoln Continental prototype breaks down, requires a tow

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Sometimes, cars break. Sometimes, said cars happen to be prototypes covered in camouflage. And sometimes, spy photographers are on hand to capture the sad sight. Such is the case here, as our trusty long-lenses have captured images of a stricken Lincoln Continental getting a tow back the shop. It's not clear what happened with the wounded Continental, but its unfortunate breakdown has given us a great look at the car's sprawling glass roof. Like the current MKZ, it looks like the Conti's panoramic roof can slide back, although we doubt it will cover up any element of the rear window, like its smaller sibling. And unlike our previous round of spy photos, this latest gallery gives us a look at a rather substantial set of integrated exhaust tips (i.e. fakes that have been fitted directly to the rear bumper cover). We can also spy a bit of the interior, although it's nowhere near as good as our last round of images. These shots do, however, show off a full roll cage and a fire extinguisher, but we wouldn't count on those being offered with the production model. Their presence here, though, leads us to believe that the car in question is probably some kind of vehicle dynamics tester. Look for a full introduction of the all-new Continental next month, when it debuts at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Related Video:
