THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VERY DESIRABLE 1961 (FIRST YEAR) 4-DOOR LINCOLN CONVERTIBLE

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, I AM BUILDING A HOUSE AND JUST DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR ALL MY CARS. I WILL DESCRIBE IN DETAIL THE CONDITION.

IT IS A TRUE 28,000 MILE CAR, LAST OWNER OWNED THE CAR FOR OVER 30 YEARS. HIS NEPHEW INHERITED THE CAR AND HAD NO INTEREST IN THE CAR. I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR.

THIS IS A VERY ORIGINAL CAR, BESIDES 1 VERY OLD REPAINT

BODY:
THE BODY SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME FILLER IN THE LOWER REAR QUARTERS
THE CAR WAS PAINTED PROBABLY 25 YEARS AGO, THE PAINT JOB IS POOR QUALITY
THE CHROME IS DECENT
THE PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER END HAS A SMALL RUST HOLD IN IT
THE FLOOR BOARDS SEEMS SOLID
THE TRUNK SEEMS SOLID

DRIVE TRAIN:
MOTOR RUNS GREAT, I JUST HAD THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTER CHANGED
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GOOD, I DID NOTICE SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING AFTER LONG STORAGE
THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS CLEAN AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY
THE BRAKES SEEM VERY GOOD, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ALOT OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, AND HAS NO ISSUES
IT DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE A NEW S550, IT DRIVES LIKE A 1961 LINCOLN SHOULD

TIRES/WHEELS:
THE WHEEL COVERS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, HAS A PROBABLY 40 YEAR OLD SET OF GOOD YEAR BIAS PLY TIRES, THAT ARE THE CORRECT SIZE. THEY ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE, A LITTLE HARD.
HAS ORIGINAL SPARE IN THE TRUNK

TOP:
OKAY, THE TOP WORKS MANUALLY, IT STILL NEEDS SOME OF THE SYSTEMS GONE THROUGH. ONE OF THE HYDROLIC PUMPS HAS A HOLE IN IT. I HAD THE TOP DOWN FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS JUST DRIVING IT AROUND. I PUT THE TOP BACK UP TODAY. THE TOP IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND IS THE ORIGINAL TOP ON THE CAR.
THE BACK WINDOW IS A LITTLE YELLOWED, BUT IS THE ORIGINAL TOP

INTERIOR:
ORIGINAL LEATHER UPHOLSTERY, SHOWS WEAR
I NOTICED A COUPLE LITTLE PLACES IN THE REAR SEAT, BUT I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE PATINA LEATHER
POWER SEAT DOES WORK, FORWARD AND BACK, BUT DOES NOT GO UP AND DOWN
ALL GAUGES WORK
ORIGINAL AM RADIO WORKS
THE DASH IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT, THE CAR DOES NEED A NEW INTERIOR WOOD KIT

IN CLOSING, THIS IS A GREAT DRIVER. GREAT CAR TO DRIVE TO DINNER OR ON THE WEEKENDS. BUT, IF YOU WANT ONE TO RESTORE, AND HAVE A FUTURE 6 FIGURE CAR, THIS CAR IS 100% COMPLETE.

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, 859-621-0445.

2021 Lincoln Nautilus scores Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS

Wed, Aug 25 2021

A new set of standard headlights has lifted the 2021 Nautilus to an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick nod, Lincoln and the IIHS announced Wednesday.  The rating accounts for an improved set of LED projector headlights that were made available for 2021. IIHS says the new hardware significantly reduces glare, improving their score dramatically. The upgraded lamps are offered on Black Label models and Reserve models equipped with Ultimate package, provided they were assembled after March of this year. Since the standard headlights are still saddled with a "Poor" rating, the Nautilus doesn't qualify for Top Safety Pick+; IIHS reserves that designation for vehicles that ace all of its crashworthiness, score an "Advanced" or better in its accident avoidance tests, and come equipped with "Acceptable" or better headlights on all available trims.  Both the standard and optional safety systems on the Nautilus scored high marks, and it received the highest possible rating in each crash test.  Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

The Lincoln Way seeks to woo customers with unique services

Tue, Jul 19 2016

Lincoln has been fighting hard to shed their image as a luxury brand for the elderly. The company has recently introduced or updated nearly every vehicle in its fleet in order to literally put a new face on the brand. Options, like the Black Label program, attempt to pull influence from high-end automakers that provide services extending beyond scheduled oil changes. Now, Lincoln is introducing a program that it refers to as The Lincoln Way, a suite of customer-oriented services that the company hopes will set it apart from the pack. All of this starts this fall when the new Continental goes on sale. Customers will have access to services like vehicle pickup and drop off and complimentary loaner vehicles. The company is planning more incentives for the future, but details are vague. Lincoln parent Ford is offering similar services on the upcoming GT. The Lincoln Way seems to be an expansion of some services already offered under the Black Label program. Right now, Black Label includes scheduled maintenance, car washes, and concierge services, as well as exclusive vehicle colors and options. The program is pricey and only available on some models in some states, though Lincoln plans on expanding Black Label's reach. In addition to these services, Lincoln is opening a showroom of sorts, called the Lincoln Experience Center, in Newport Beach, California. The facility won't actually sell vehicles. Instead, customers can come and learn about the brand, build and price vehicles, and take test drives. The Experience Center will then put customers in contact with local dealers. Lincoln says the increased focus on customer care and satisfaction draws influence from the company's growth in China. Since the introduction of The Lincoln Way services, sales in China have grown greatly. Sales in the United States, like China, have been improving the past few years. With the introduction of The Lincoln Way, the company hopes that Matthew Mcconaughey won't be the only draw for future customers. Related Video: Lincoln Ownership Luxury lincoln black label
