The biggest production car ever made just got customized!!!! The 1958 Lincoln your looking at has had a full transformation to current condition by Acme Rods Inc. a certified shop with over 17 years in the business. Our goal was to retain the original class of this cutting edge for its time luxury automobile, while bringing it into the 21st century. To change the attitude of this monster all four corners had to go on air bags, the lower the better. So, no standard kit would do the job everything had to be made to order, how will i get replacement parts you ask. Well, our engineering team already thought of that, we not only rebuilt all of the suspension components so that you will have years of trouble free service, we made sure that ever part of the suspension change over is a stocked item at any auto repair store. Every piece of the suspension front and rear is new, ball joints, suspension bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, steering idler arm, and the steerring box has been rebuilt. For anyone that has ever had the pleasure of rebuilding a lincoln of this era before knows how much of an expense this can be and how hard it is to locate all these parts, all of this trouble has been done for you. Two compressors and twin five gallon tanks were mounted in the trunk along with the solenoid valves. Although these components usually fill a normal cars truck there is plenty of room for a full size spare and all the luggage you and your friends or family would ever need for a weekend retreat. A car this big has to have a great braking system, the original system was not that at all. Every part of the drum braking system was removed, and four wheel disc brakes and a po wer booster replaced the antiquated original. all the hoses and lines were replaced or upgraded. New emergency brake cables were custom made, the entire system works flawlessly easily stops a 7000lbs plus car. All the original pedals and warning lights were retained and function exactly as they would have in 1958 when this car was brand new. One thing has always been Paramount at Acme Rods Inc., HORSEPOWER. This is the original numbers matching 430 Lincoln Maurder factory rated at 415hp. As we stated what a great starting point, we took this recently overhauled engine and made sure every nut bolt and spec was absolutely perfect. We installed a new timing chain, resealed every gasket or seal that even remotely looked like it had a leak or a drip. While it was a part we painted everything back to the original lincoln engine color. We installed a new water pump, thermostat, belts and hoses, recored the radiator and had it pressure tested. Also replaced was the points and condensor, why use out of date parts when you can use modern tecnology we asked and installed an electonic trigger from pertronix. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, gone is the ballast resistor and a new 3ohm coil replaces it for years of trouble free service. The original carburater was beyond a satisfactory rebuild so a holley direct fit replacement was put on and an open element air cleaner that retains the orinal appearance. All new exhaust was ran from the freshly rebuilt manifolds to the rear bumper. A custom h pipe was added and magnaflow mufflers with chrome turn downs were installed. The entire a/c system had been ravage by years of storage, so every part was replaced, new compressor, lines, dryer, and condensor. Older a/c systems ran r-12 and that is all but exist now so it was converted to r-134a any auto parts store sells 134a if the need to ever top the system off would arise. While we were at it the original heater cores were showing signs of weepage so we recored them both and installed all new hoses. Another major hurdle with older lincons is the electrical system, making all power options work can be a major expense. We went through every system and all of them work perfectly now. All seven windows work, power vent windows, all four door windows and the rear window. The six way power seat functions perfectly and the power vent/ heat, ac switch cycles exactly as its supposed to. All the lighting system has been rebuilt and everything works from high beam low beams to the backup lamps are a never fail to operate system now. The fuel system has been upgraded a new tank and pickup were installed along with a fuel filter which was not part of the original system. The interior is original except for the carpet which was repalced with an exact copy of the original. The exterior paint is original and it does show its age, but it works flawlessly with the look that the car gives of when the air ride is let down and the custom 17" black rock wheels are swallowed whole into the wheel wells. New rubber was installed on the wheels and it is setup with a stagger from front to back. This has been an amazing project that we at Acme Rods Inc. have all enjoyed, but like all projects they come to an end and we move on to the next one. We named this one project Marilyn....... Manson, happy bidding whoever wins this item will not be disappointed we can arrange shipping in the lower 48 for a fee all international shipppng is buyers responsibilty.

We test Lincoln's 20-speaker Revel Ultima stereo with a rock star
Fri, Aug 26 2016If there's two things Detroiters know, it's music and cars. So when Lincoln approached us with big claims about their latest stereo system, the Revel Ultima System, we sought out a veteran of the Motor City music scene to test it out. First unveiled at the 2015 Detroit International Auto Show in the Lincoln MKX, Revel is bringing its bumping bass to the 2017 Lincoln MKZ. We had Dick Valentine, lead singer of Electric Six and favorite son of Detroit, try out the 20-speaker, 1200-watt system. If you want it on your MKZ, Revel Ultima is part of the $4,400 Luxury Package. Electric Six is perhaps most famous for its early hit, Gay Bar, and the music video filled with shirtless Abe Lincolns in the White House. Since their debut release, Fire, E6 has backed up a regular touring schedule with ten more studio albums, both a live album and live DVD, and an upcoming quasi-reality film titled Roulette Stars of Metro Detroit. We met up with Valentine on the set of the Roulette Stars to explore the depths of his sardonic wit that oozes through every E6 song. Lincoln says that Revel is the best in the biz. And we'll admit, the stats are impressive. But are 20 speakers and marketing terms like Quantum Logic Surround Technology, Clari-Fi Technology and Point Source Architecture enough to impress a Detroit legend? Valentine knows a little something about sound. As the lead singer and frontman of the Electric Six, he's spent over twenty years hearing his tunes played through speakers. While Valentine hasn't owned a car in a while, he does have opinions on jamming inside of them. We played songs from the band's latest album Bitch, Don't Let Me Die to see if Revel truly delivers on it's bold claims. Related Video: Celebrities Lincoln Ownership music audio sound system
2023 Lincoln Navigator makes changes to trim lineup and color menu
Mon, Jan 23 2023Lincoln has been doing its thing out of the way of the big headlines at Ford. The brand hasn't put out an official press release for the Navigator since August 2021, the 2023 Navigator whispering into the new year so quietly we barely noticed. The big SUV got refreshed for the 2022 model year, gaining the brand's ActiveGlide hands-free driving system, Lincoln Enhance over-the-air update capability, a larger 13.2-inch infotainment screen, two new themes for the top-tier Black Label trim called Central Park and Invitation, tweaked front and rear fascias, and a few other bits. For 2023, the changes are mostly decorative and financial. The base extended model known as the Navigator L is gone. The stretched Navigator now comes in Reserve and Black Label only. Flight Blue is no longer on the exterior palette, but Diamond Red Tricoat can be ordered for the base Standard trim as well as the Reserve and Reserve L. The sole powertrain is unchanged, that being a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 with 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque sending power through a ten-speed automatic to either the rear wheels or all four. 2023 Navigator prices after the $1,895 destination charge, and their increases from 2022, are: Standard: $81,620 ($3,215) Reserve: $93,830 ($4,730) Reserve L: $96,860 ($5,090) Standard 4WD: $84,620 ($3,215) Reserve 4WD: $96,530 ($5,090) Reserve L 4WD: $99,555 ($5,090) Black Label 4WD: $111,150 ($6,475) Black Label L 4WD: $114,195 ($6,475) As you can see, there are some healthy bumps compared to launch pricing for the 2022 model year. In 2022, the base model dropped by $5, three other trims rose by a few hundred, one trim rose by $1,760, and five climbed by almost $5,000. For 2023, a $5,000 increase is effectively the norm. Getting a Navigator seems to be a little easier than around this time last year when Lincoln made the model custom order only. Now the warning text reads, "Some models, trims and features may not be available. Please contact your local Lincoln Retailer for updates and assistance." Bring money.

2021 Lincoln Aviator Review | What's new, price, plug-in hybrid, video
Wed, Jan 20 2021The 2021 Lincoln Aviator is the right vehicle at the right time. It’s a distinctly American take on the three-row luxury crossover segment, boasting big power and a splash of green on the side. It draws you in with its long, sleek exterior, then leaves mouths agape at the beautiful and characterful interior. Its rear-drive architecture developed in concert with the Ford Explorer gives rise to two stout powertrains. A 400-horsepower turbo V6 is standard, but the PHEV is the real barn burner with a silly 494 horses and 630 pound-feet of torque on tap. ItÂ’s a downright splendid combination of American luxury and muscle. Despite all that power, though, donÂ’t come in expecting a stiff, handling-focused crossover like youÂ’ll get from German luxury brands. The power and adaptive suspension is there to make the driving experience effortless, not to set fast lap times. Lincoln isnÂ’t trying to best AMG or M at their own game, opting instead to put its own stake in the ground as peak American luxury. The option to get a plug-in hybrid should make it ideal for eco-conscious luxury buyers who might scoff at a Navigator, too. If youÂ’re looking for a luxurious family vehicle that prioritizes serenity and comfort above all else, take a hard look at the Aviator. What's new for 2021? Not much has changed in the AviatorÂ’s second year besides some packaging and color shuffling. New exterior colors include Asher Gray and Ocean Drive Blue. Flight Blue is no longer a Black Label exclusive, either — you can spec it on Reserve and up for 2021. In packaging news, the panoramic sunroof is made standard on the Reserve trim; soft-close doors are standard on Black Label, and a “high-efficiency” cabin filter is standard on all trims. 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring Black Label View 34 Photos What are the Aviator interior and in-car technology like? No other company's interiors look anything like the mid-century-inspired palace of cool you get in the Aviator. All versions are available with distinctive color schemes shown below, but the Black Label trim level stands out the most with its three available "themes" of "Chalet," "Flight" and "Destination" that get special colors and trim types. The quality of some plastics and the fit-and-finish aren't up to Mercedes or BMW levels, but everything looks so special that it covers whatever deficit exists. Most competitors just seem drab and generic by comparison.
