Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2-owner, 1974
Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible, 460 cu. in. engine, automatic
transmission, 48,491 documented original miles, dark burgundy body color with a tan convertible
roof and tan leather interior. This is a
custom convertible professionally built by a renowned coach builder some years
ago. Overall the car is in great
condition and has been garaged all its life. Options include power convertible top,
power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, A/C, AM/FM radio, power
windows and locks, power trunk, power seats, power antenna, cruise control, tilt
steering, remote passenger outside mirror and lighted vanity mirrors. Most
options work as they should except that the A/C needs to be charged and the vanity
mirror lights are missing. The paint
shines beautifully and accents a clean, straight body. The top surfaces of the painted areas however
show signs of paint cracking – but this by no means takes away from how great
the car looks overall. The interior is
original and in nice condition with average wear. The convertible top material looks excellent
and powers up and down nicely as it should.
Convertible top boot is also in excellent condition and fits as it
should (2 of the snaps need a simple repair).
All and all, the chrome is very presentable with very little pitting. The bumpers shine nicely showing only small signs
of age. The stainless overall is in nice
condition except there are some dents on the wheel opening moldings. The car has a nice set of tru-spoke wire
wheels on it with tires that are like new. There are non-operative, decorative
spot lights installed on the front fenders that look nice. The underside of the car is solid and clean (see
pictures). Engine starts up
quiet, shifts and drives good. There is
a small transmission fluid leak near the pan area. No disappointments! IMPORTANT
... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!

Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
Lincoln dons the Black Label

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
