1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible

This is the one you've been waiting for!  Suicide doors.  Classic luxury and muscle combined.  This car has everything!

 


Don't hesitate and miss the chance to own your dream car.  You don't cant find these cars in this condition.  This was top of the line in it's day with power windows, power locks, 8-way power seat , power antenna, power brakes (disk), power steering, A/C and cruise control.  Yes, cruise control on a 66... and it works!   I restore classics for a living and have sold several on ebay with 100% feedback, but this is different.  This is my baby, titled and registered in my name.  I never thought I'd let it go.  I've had a hundred people ask me to buy it and I've always declined.  Well, here's your chance.  I drive this car at least a few times a week and it never gives me any problems.  It rides like it's floating on a cloud.  The 462 cu in engine is super strong, yet surprisingly quiet.  They had four mufflers from the factory so you couldn't hear the engine to give it a more luxury feel.  When you're cruising with the top down all you hear is the wind and the compliments.  If you know anything about these cars, or are looking to buy one, make sure everything works, because it can cost thousands just to get all the windows working, and more for the top.  This one has been gone through by an old Lincoln expert.  The top goes up and down quickly and quietly for this model.  All the power windows go up and down.  The switches work even though a couple are missing the tips of the switch as is common.  Even the vent windows are power, which always catches people off guard.  I installed a nifty remote to control the convertible top from up to 100 yards away.  See second video.  This is my favorite feature, and it draws a crowd every time I use it.  Don't be like everyone else with a Mustang Chevy.  Really stand out with this rare classic.  I have been lucky enough to own just about every classic you can think of and this one gets far more attention than any other.  It was made for cruising so you can actually drive it on the highway and long distances with ease and comfort.  The A/C blows ice cold so even here in Florida I'm always comfortable.  The heater works as well.  It was recently painted an elegant pearl white that is perfect for this style of car.  The maroon interior is in exceptionally good condition.  All the gauges work as they should.  All the lights and blinkers work.  The cruise control works.  The power seat works as it should.  No cracks on the dash.  Brand new carpet.  All of the chrome is in fantastic condition with the exception of a small section of the rear bumper.  All of the stainless trim is in nearly perfect condition, which is extremely rare to find.  The vinyl top is in great condition with one small rip in the bottom left corner.  The tires have over 80% tread and the wheel covers are in great shape.  The radio works, but it's the original so only AM.  Like all cars, this one isn't perfect, but it's close enough for me.  I've added two videos and as many pictures as I could to represent the car accurately.  Since the video I added "gangster white walls" which can be included with the car if the winning bidder wants.  All of the videos and pictures were taken last week with my cell phone and were not photoshopped or enhanced in any way.  I have set the reserve low and no buy it now, so good luck bidding.  This is a very rare opportunity to own a very rare piece of history and a real gem.  I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out, so feel free to email me with any questions.  I also encourage anyone interested to come see it in person and drive it.  Just prepare to fall in love.  Speaking of, I reserve the right to end this auction any time because anyone who sees it is going to buy it on the spot.  Feel free to call, come by, or email with serious offers.  I will not end the auction until cash is in hand.  Thanks for looking, and good luck bidding!

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
