A True Classic 1966 Lincoln Convertible with the Infamous Suicide Doors.  Royal Maroon is the color and this car has never been repainted.  This Convertible has only 84,929 miles and has been owned by One Owner since 1970.  In addition, it has been stored in doors since that time.  The motor turns over and starts right up when it was recently started on a temporary fuel cell.  The main fuel tank should be cleaned or replaced.  The Interior is original and is in very good to excellent condition for being original. The Dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or fading.  The Convertible top works and goes up and down smoothly.  The top is water tight and may be used as is and it is not necessary to replace.  The radio works well and the antenna operates smoothly.  The Clock works as well.  The lights work along with the turn signals and back up lights.  However it will need a few bulbs(one headlight bulb is burned out along with the passenger side front turn signal).  The only negative thing about the car is the rust behind the rear wheels and behind the front left fender and a few other spots. The floors and trunk are solid.The glass is all good with no cracks.  The power seat works well.  The tires and brakes will need to be replaced although they will work enough to move the car.  The car should be given a thorough cleaning and would probably look a lot better as it is in the same condition since coming out of storage.  This car also has the rare factory ski/luggage rack. 

Overall the car is in pretty nice shape and with some TLC it will be an awesome car.  This is an excellent opportunity to own a desirable 1966 suicide door convert!  In addition, it has a very reasonable reserve.  Whoever buys this vehicle will be able to put a few dollars into the body and restore it to desired condition.  All potential buyers are more than welcome to come and inspect vehicle before the auction closes.  Please ask any and all questions.  Happy bidding!

Lincoln dons the Black Label

Mon, 17 Nov 2014



"We're really trying to simplify for the customer on their terms." - Paul Bucek
Lincoln is launching a Black Label service and customization program in December at 32 dealerships across the country in a bid to attract new and more upscale customers.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.
