This numbers-matching car has attitude with a new black paint job so well done it's like looking in a mirror (see photos) with metal trim that runs the length of this long car. How long? It's 220" long, 79.7" wide and is 55" tall. The new bright red interior adds the fun factor to the car - red leather seats, carpet, seat belts, dashboard, steering wheel and sun visors makes this car pop. The Lincoln Continental logo is embroidered in the back of the driver's and passenger's seat up front and in the center of the long bench seat in the back (see photos). An easy flip down arm rest can be found in both the front seat and rear seat. The car has so much room it's like driving your living room down the road. Six people can easily fit in the car with room to spare but as many as eight can sit without serious crowding. The convertible top, powered by six different relays, works and the owner has put a new convertible top on for protection. Flip the dashboard switch or twist a key from the outside and the rear trunk opens up, the roof starts to retract and rear glass automatically folds down. The rear deck lid automatically closes down over the convertible roof when it is retracted and two worm gears pull the the trunk lid tight for a nice, seamless seal. There is no convertible top boot exposed, just sleek lines. The car runs great and, as you would expect, the Lincoln Continental ride is like floating on a cloud down the highway. The car is powered by a monstrous 462 cubic-inch, which is rare and was only produced for three years (mileage is an estimate - true mileage is unknown). The rear end is a 208, one of the best ever made by Ford.  The automobile has a C-6 transmission. The uniqueness of the car is accented by the car's horn - it sounds like a symphony - and the speedometer.  The speedo shows your speed - 0-120 mph - and below it is a window that appears black when sitting still. As you pick up speed, the speedometer turns white but once you hit 70 mph - which is easy to do in this car - the spinning spool in the little window turns red. This was the pre-digital days and this speedometer is very unique. Just another unique touch to this car.  How well has this car been maintained through the years? The original owner's manual is included with the car, bearing the names of the original owner and the second owner found stamped inside the owner's manual cover. Whether driving to a restaurant or club or just tooling around town, this car gets all the attention.This rare, unique classic car is offered from the personal collection of prominent NASCAR race promoter Eddie Gossage, President of famed Texas Motor Speedway. 


The 1967 Lincoln Continental was among the fourth generation of Lincolns (1961-1969). The 1967 edition was the last year to offer the four-door convertible. Only 2,276 units were originally built, all coming from the plant in Wixom, Mich. After 46 years you can imagine that only a handful of these dinosaurs remain on the road. The car, which weighs an incredible 5,505-pounds, was the basis for the presidential limousine. Following President Kennedy's assassination in the Lincoln Continental presidential limo in 1963, the car was sent to Hess & Eisenhart in Cincinnati where the limousine was rebuilt with armor and the convertible top was replaced by a permanent hard top roof. It was used into the Carter Administration before being taken out of service. The car is now on display at the Henry Ford Museum.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

2024 Lincoln Aviator and 2024 Ford Explorer lose hybrid option

Wed, Nov 15 2023

The 2024 Lincoln Aviator will not be available with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, a spokesman for the brand confirmed. Lincoln dropped the gasoline-electric option to focus on more popular variants of the SUV, and it's making a handful of small changes for the new model year. "Given timing, the 2024 Aviator is a limited production run and as such, we are focusing on our most popular offering," a spokesman told Autoblog via email. While nothing is official yet, unverified reports suggest that the SUV will receive a major round of updates for 2025. In the meantime, the Aviator will enter the 2024 model year with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 as its only engine option. The six-cylinder makes 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive is offered at an extra cost, though keep in mind that Lincoln hasn't published the full list of changes it's making to the model for 2024 yet. Ditching the hybrid system means buyers now have three trims to choose from. Previously named Standard, the entry-level trim is called Premiere for 2024. The mid-range Reserve and the range-topping Black Label carry over. Pricing starts at $53,340 excluding destination. More details about the 2024 Lincoln Aviator should emerge in the coming weeks. Lincoln parent company Ford is axing the Explorer's available hybrid system in the civilian model as well. But the police version of the SUV is only available as a hybrid, and will continue to be. "To meet continued strong demand for the Ford Police Interceptor Utility hybrid and other Ford hybrid vehicles, the 2024-model-year Explorer will only be offered with the fuel-efficient 2.3-liter four-cylinder Ecoboost and the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6. Those two engines account for the majority of Explorer sales," a spokesperson for the Blue Oval confirmed to Autoblog. There's no word on when or if the hybrid will return for civilian Explorers. Offered through 2023, the Explorer's optional gasoline-electric drivetrain was only available on the top-of-the-line Limited and Platinum variants. And, like the Aviator it's related to, the Explorer is expected to get a round of updates inside and out for the 2025 model year.
