A rare 1956 Continental Mark II. It has been stored inside a garage for over 30 years. I bought it as part of an estate sale. I am a Lincoln (and Continental) enthusiast and had my eye on this car for over 20 years. This particular car, in my opinion, is quite restorable. It spent it's early years in Pennsylvania and I am certain there is where the rust that it has came from. It does have rust coming up, from the bottom of the fenders but, amazingly the doors are rust-free and close like a bank vault. The hood and trunk are essentially rust-free. In fact, any rust that you can actually see is minor surface rust. Because the tires were flat (and would not hold air) I have not been able to inspect the frame... even with only my hand. Based on how solid the car remained while being pulled up on a roll-back truck (and also let down) and how the doors open and close like that of a new car I feel, strongly, for the right person (ie. someone who can do all of their body work, engine work, etc.) that this would be an awesome way of having and owning this extraordinary car at a reasonable price (it's value will only increase). The seats are blue and white leather. In many ways they are good enough for a daily driver. The car does not have air conditioning.

I don't want to leave out the fact that the car will need new floor pans as in the driver's footwell they are rusted-through in many areas. The car is still sturdy enough for one to sit inside and the front seat remains at a normal height. The head light bezels are in the trunk. The car only has two correct hubcaps.The chrome-plating must have been to an incredibly high quality as the bumpers are still shiny. In any event, please feel free to e-mail me with questions and if necessary you can call me. The car is not currently running (or I should say I have not tried to turn the engine over). The trunk floor is completely solid with the exception of a small amount of rust where the spare tire sits. I photographed the bottom of the door sills and the doors themselves... they are not rusty.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."

Lincoln owners in San Diego, your chauffeur awaits

Fri, May 12 2017

In an effort to make up lost market share, Lincoln is trying desperately to differentiate itself from other luxury automakers. The automaker is offering and expanding a number of services aimed at setting itself apart not only from Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Audi, but also the Fords that so often share showroom space. One such offering, the Lincoln Chauffeur, is expanding beyond its initial rollout in Miami, Florida, across the country to San Diego, California. The concept is simple. For $30/hour, a chauffeur will drive you around in your own vehicle, stopping at the store, the gas station, or even at school to pick up the kids. The chauffeur can do these things with or without you present, meaning the driver can drop you off at the airport and return the car home, allowing others to use the car rather than leaving it parked at the airport. The service is available to old and new Lincoln owners, though the former get eight free hours to try the service. San Diego was part of a planned expansion. If things continue to go well, look for further rollouts in cities across the country. Related Video: News Source: Lincoln via Automotive News Lincoln Ownership
