Up for sale is a very clean and unique 1962 Lincoln Continental. Beautiful example of a well kept California rust-free classic. This Lincoln has been in the Los Angeles area its entire life and always stored indoors. Still has the original matching set of black & gold license plates. Most people choose to paint these cars black but very few of them were actually factory black cars. In fact less than 3% of all early 60’s Continentals came in that color. This is one of those few cars built in 62’ that came with paint code “A” (Presidential Black). This is a true matching numbers car with original power train, exterior paint color, and interior color. I get compliments, thumbs up, and turn heads every time I drive it. Clean CA title in hand with tags just paid until Feb 2015.

Factory 430ci engine and 3-speed auto transmission were both rebuilt in 2011 and have less than 10k miles since the rebuild (over $5k spent on overhaul). The car has 71k original miles on chassis. Runs like a dream and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. Lots of power coming from that big block under the hood and it tstill moves pretty easy for such a large car. It’s very reliable, has no mechanical issues, and doesn’t leak a drop of oil. Most of these Lincoln’s have leaks coming from the original power steering system and transmission but that’s all been rebuilt on this car. All of the chrome, stainless steel trim, and glass is original to the car. Most of it was re-chromed and polished 5 years ago when the car was repainted for the first time. Clean two-stage paintjob done in 2009 with very straight body lines and perfect 1/4 ” gaps between panels throughout. It has all original rust-free body panels, floors, and frame rails. All four doors open and close very easy with no sagging. Original glass is clean with no cracks or noticeable scratches. All the windows were recently serviced and had new motors and rollers installed which made them move fast and quietly now. All 7 window switches work properly as well. The weather-stripping was replaced at time of paintjob including new door seals. The interior is mostly original and still looks like the day it rolled off the assembly line. The dash pad and steering wheel are in near mint condition with no cracks unlike most 50+ year old Lincolns. This is a clear indicator the car was never parked outdoors in the hot California sun for too long. The upholstery was redone about 3 years ago in black leather, replaced the headliner with correct perforated style vinyl fabric, installed new wood inserts, did a full dash detail, and trunk compartment detail. All the interior and exterior lights work fine. Original AM radio still turns on and sounds good. The whitewall tires are about a year old and are pretty much still new (paid $1200 for the set). Brakes  & suspension work well and car handles and stops good at any speed. I’ve got the original owners manual from 1962, as well as an assembly manual, maintenance manual, and various invoices. I also have the original dealer set of black mats and trunk jack not shown in the pictures but will go with the car.

Known issues; the A/C system is due for a service, still blows cool air but not ice-cold as it’s suppose to. All the interior vents and dash controls work fine. The seat switch needs to be rebuilt or swapped for a replacement (seat only moves in 2 directions right now). Fuel gauge not reading correctly, (might need a new tank floater or calibrate the gauge itself). Aside from these minor issues the Lincoln pretty much looks and runs as good as it did in 1962.

Car is available for inspection by any potential buyer during the auction so feel free to call and set up an appointment (714) 426-9147 -Felix. Bring your mechanic and take it for a spin, you’ll be sold on it after a short drive. I’m not interested in any trades so please don’t ask. This is a No Reserve listing and it well go to the highest bidder no matter what. Thanks for viewing my listing and good luck!

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston

Fri, Sep 1 2017

DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.

Lincoln Continental death looms with changes at Flat Rock Plant

Tue, Aug 20 2019

Ford's Flat Rock Assembly plant just south of Detroit produces the Ford Mustang and the Lincoln Continental. Automotive News reports that the automaker plans to produce two battery-electric crossovers at the facility, the EVs scheduled for sale in the 2023 model year. The EVs were previously meant to be built in Ford's Cuautitlan Stamping and Assembly plant in Mexico, which builds the Fiesta. According to the AN piece, moving the EVs to Michigan means the end of Lincoln Continental production in the U.S. Sunset is expected in "late 2021" for a sedan that is just three years old, and that never got the momentum to assert itself and reassert the Continental nameplate. The Continental has been on death watch since at least March 2018, when Ford Authority reported that the luxury sedan wouldn't get more than one generation. The changing of several guards in the top ranks scotched a plan to move the Continental onto the CD6 platform for rear- and all-wheel-drive vehicles. In September 2018, Jalopnik put more meat on those crossbones, saying Flat Rock workers alleged the big Lincoln could bid adieu as soon as this year, and automaker insiders had seen production merely scheduled — not approved — for 2020, with nothing beyond that. Then, as now, Ford appears to be leaving open the possibility for Continental production to continue in China, and just maybe be exported here. The two twinned midsized EVs, using the codenames CDX746 and CDX747, would come in Ford and Lincoln flavors. Said to be roughly the size of the Ford Edge/Lincoln Nautilus platform siblings, the automaker has requested suppliers gear up for annual production of up to 65,000 units between the two models. When they arrive, they'll form part of the 16 EVs Ford plans to have on the market worldwide by 2022. The others we know of so far are the crossover that will channel the Mustang, an electric F-150 pickup, and an EV project with Rivian.
