HERE IS A GORGEOUS LOOKING AND HIGHLY OPTIONED 1957 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK II THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY BODY-ON RESTORED AND IS A TURN-KEY DRIVER. VERY ORIGINAL CAR WITH 38K MILES ON THE ODOMETER!
Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
This is one of 500 or so Mark II's produced in 1957. These were "benchmark" cars offered by Lincoln, and were basically all hand made, sort of like Rolls Royces back in the day. They were used to promote the brand, but were so expensive to build that the company nearly lost money on every one they sold, thus explaining the very few numbers of presentable to fine examples still around today.
Vehicle came out of Wisconsin. This car was acquired from the 3rd owner I believe. It had an older body-on restoration presumably done in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Since I've acquired it I did lots of small things to the car, mostly in the form of service work and maintenance as it didn't need much else to be a nice driver. Radiator was completely recored a few months ago. The transmission was completely rebuilt, NEW engine gaskets insalled, NEW hoses, NEW brakes all around including NEW master cylinder done in 2007 per receipts.Car runs/drives like a dream, very quiet and very smooth. Odometer shows 38k miles.
Under the hood lies the MATCHING NUMBERS 368ci V8 motor that is virtually all stock other than the aftermarket air cleaner. Starts up nicely and idles beautifully.
Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been overhauled and stop great. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds fairly quiet and is very responsive with little if any play in the steering wheel.
Interior is virtually all stock as you'll see in the pictures and was all RECENTLY REDONE COMPLETELY. NEW seat covers throughout, NEW carpeting, NEW door panels, NEW headliner, etc. etc. Steering wheel has various cracks throughout. Dash looks in good shape as well with minor wear. Overall beautifully presentable for a high-end driver.
Chrome is very presentable as well. Front bumper is very nice, rear one is presentable with a couple of areas where it has been touched up.
Underside is notorious on these cars for varying greatly from car to car, as these cars were basically all hand built back in the 50s. This particular Lincoln is in fair/good shape overall. Floors appear to be in fair shape with no large holes anywhere. Frame appears solid, with a couple of areas where there may have been small patches. Heavy undercoating evident, as is common with these (i've had a couple in the past and they all look the same). Overall fairly good shape.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall GOOD with FAIRLY NICE shine but could definitely use a good wetsand and buff by a professionally to really make it shine (some touch-ups, small chips here and there, and other minor imperfections as you would expect). Hood needs minor adjustment as it sits a little high towards the windshield, but opens and closes fine. No rust appearing from outside the car other than a few tiny bubbles where the rear wheel openings had a couple of metal patches. Not working: all gauges (cluster needs reconditioning), wipers, rear power windows, parking brake. Small exhaust leak. Windshield and passenger wing window have small pellet cracks from stones hitting it, while passenger front window has a tiny crack.
I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GOOD LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives BEAUTIFULLY, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
Thu, Sep 28 2023The Lincoln Motor Company went all-truck for its North American offerings in the 2021 model year, announcing the death sentence for the Continental and MKZ sedans in 2020. The MKZ was the sibling to the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan (the latter car discontinued in 2011 when the entire Mercury Division got the axe), but it wasn't called the MKZ for its first model year of 2006. For that one year, it was given a name with deep resonance in the Ford Empire: Zephyr. Here's one of those cars, found in a Denver boneyard recently. Ford's first use of the Zephyr name came when Edsel Ford spearheaded the creation of the futuristic-looking Lincoln-Zephyr for the 1936 model year. The Lincoln-Zephyr packed a flathead V12 engine under its hood, which is the same engine that turned a Model A Ford into a Cadillac-passing hot rod in the 1955 Charlie Ryan song "Hot Rod Lincoln" (the better-known 1971 cover version by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen inaccurately refers to the Lincoln engine as a V8; ex-Commander Cody frontman—and Iggy Pop's high school classmate—Bill Kirchen still makes the V8 claim but he's earned the right by now). The Zephyr name disappeared from the Lincoln lineup after 1942. In 1950, Ford of Britain revived the Zephyr name for use on a Dagenham-built saloon; British Zephyr production continued through 1972, and left-hand-drive versions of the Ford Zephyr were sold in the United States from the 1952 through 1964 model years. Mercury finally got the use of the Zephyr name, for the 1978 through 1983 model years, on the Mercury-badged sibling to the Ford Fairmont. A Chinese-market midsize luxury sedan built by Changan Ford was given the Zephyr Reflection name prior to launch, but it hit showrooms last year as the Lincoln Z. So much history in the junkyard! The saga of the name change from Zephyr to MKZ didn't end with the 2007 model year, though. Members of the Lincoln top brass spent some months insisting stubbornly that the new name should be pronounced "Mark Z" (apparently in reference to the great Lincoln Mark cars of the past or perhaps the brand-new Mark LT pickup), but finally acquiesced to the "Em-Kay-Zee" pronunciation used by everybody else in the United States and the "Em-Kay-Zedd" pronunciation used by the rest of the English-speaking world. The interior of the 2006 Zephyr was quite similar to what you got inside the Fusion and Milan, but with real wood (maple or ebony) trim and standard leather.
Electric Lincoln Corsair-E coming in 2026, report says
Wed, Jan 20 2021An electric Lincoln Corsair is on the way, Automotive News reports. It’s currently scheduled to arrive in 2026 and will be built at the Oakville, Ontario, assembly plant. Automotive NewsÂ’ source for this information is AutoForecast Solutions LLC, an automotive global forecasting company. “At this point, weÂ’re not sure if it will completely replace the Corsair or if there will be an equivalent gas-powered Corsair. But they would be on two different platforms,” Sam Fiorani, vice-president of AutoForecast Solutions, told Automotive News. The vehicle is currently going by the name of Corsair-E. ItÂ’s no surprise to see that it would require a new platform to build. The Corsair is currently riding on the Ford EscapeÂ’s platform, and the highest level of electrification seen there is a plug-in hybrid variant. This electric Corsair will be one of many EVs/electrified vehicles being manufactured at the Oakville plant in the coming years. It was announced late last year that Ford would build five new electrified models there this decade, with the first scheduled to roll off the assembly line in 2025 and the last in 2028. This could mean full EVs or hybrids, but the split is unknown so far. Ford still isnÂ’t talking about its specific plans with this Canadian plant. Automotive News received the standard, Ford “does not comment on future products” response when it queried the Blue Oval. In the meantime, anyone wanting their electrified Lincoln Corsair fix can find it in the Corsair Grand Touring PHEV going on sale soon. Related video:
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
