 You are bidding on a beautiful 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible.This is a very rare car that has a newly rebuilt[less than 1000 miles] original 430 motor,almost new convertible top, and a 3yr. old base coat-clear coat paint job in as close to original color as we could find.The body and paint is super straight and is extremely shiny.The door panels were all redone in original patterns 2yrs. ago and the seats were redone a few yrs. ago and are in extremely good condition.This cars always starts right up and drives down the road like a Lincoln should.The transmission shifts like it should.It is a very comfortable cruising car.Now for the bad.As you can see in the pictures the top works,but sometimes you have to give it some help like pushing the trunk flap up or down or stopping and starting it again.There are some wear spots in the paint where the top sits on the car behind the back seat on both pass. + drivers side[no rust or anything] and a small surface crack in the paint about 1inch long[you hardly can notice] ,that a good painter could match and repaint easily[see last 2 pictures]. Three of the power windows work and 1 doesn't.All of the electrical work,lights,turn signals,wipers,heater etc.,except the clock.I see there is one on ebay that ended sunday for 67,000.00.Of course mine needs some work to be that nice,but I just am saying any money you put into this car you will get back out.I have owned the car[and have a clear title in my name] for over 10 yrs.and have driven it every summer and it is a very nice driver car that is all original, and everything is there if you want to make a show car out of it.I am looking to retire soon and am selling off my cars[including a 1959 Edsel convertible] and  have priced this car as a driver quality car,but please don't ask the reserve as I am going to let the auction run its course.Please give me 24hrs. to return emails or call me on my cell[10am-7pm,PST] 1-208-664-0125,Thanks Harry.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.

Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
