1962 Lincoln

Up for auction is my beautiful 1962 Lincoln Continental soft top. Perfect example of an original and rust-free classic that's never left California. Only 3000 of these convertibles were built back in 62' and they are getting harder to find each year especially in this condition. This beauty has just over 50k original miles, it's always been stored indoors and only driven on sunny days in dry weather. Absolutley no rust issues anywhere and it has perfect original body panels throughout. As you can see from the pictures it's very straight and everything lines up just as it should. Doors open and close perfect and everything lines up just like the day it rolled off the assembly line.The car underwent cosmetic restoration in 2008 with a new paint job, convertible top, interior upholstery, trim re-chroming, and a few other additions. It runs excellent and it's safe to say you can fly down here to Orange County and drive her back home without a concern.

The car has the original 430 engine and C-6 trans that were both rebuilt back in 2002. I just had the original carburator rebuilt last month, replaced the power steering pump, and had the full exhaust system replaced earlier this year. Car runs amazing and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. This Lincoln has lots of power and picks up fairly quick for such a large car. Engine bay is very clean and the motor was pulled out when the car was repainted to have the color in the bay walls match the exterior. The suspension, power steering, and power brakes all work perfect and the car drives with great ease. It has new wide white-wall Cooker tires (paid $1,000 for the set). No squeaks or rattles anywhere and the engine runs very quite as a Lincoln should. All 4 power window motors were just rebuilt and go up and down well. Exterior lights, wipers, turn signals, power seat, ect all work fine. I recently spent over $5,000 on the convertible top system and replaced the hydraulic pump, all new hoses, electrical relays, rebuilt all 4 hydraulic solenoids, replaced 4 new deck cylinders, and rebuilt the worm gear mechanism. If you know early 60's convertible Lincolns then you know how complex these systems were designed and you know they can cost a small forture to have operating properly. The interior was all done about 2 years ago which included seat upholstery, door panels, interior carpet, trunk carpet, custom tire cover, and new vynil convertible top. The Lincoln was painted in 2008 with a nice two stage "Royal Red" paintjob that still looks great. There's a couple minor paint imperfections from average use but nothing noticable. Car has all original sheet metal and it has never been in an accident. It's never had any rust issues or metal repairs done to it either. Original glass all around in excellent shape as well. All the exterior chrome and stainless trim is original and looks very clean for being over 50 years old. Most of the interior trim has been re-chromed and polished so there's no pitting showing which is common for these old Lincolns. The only things that still need attention are the A/C system and original radio. I pulled out the factory A/C compressor a few months to have it rebuilt but never got around to it. I still have it and all you have to do is rebuild or replace it (about $300 on ebay for a new one) then recharge the system with freon and you're good to go. The original AM radio works but just needs new dash speakers hooked up.

This beauty turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever we drive it. If you don't like being the center of attention when you're on the road then this car is not for you. I've got a clean CA title in hand with current registration ready to be transfered to its new owner. Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.

2021 Ford Escape PHEV finally reaches dealers

Fri, Oct 1 2021

Last October – which feels like both five minutes and five years ago – Ford had to push the Escape PHEV sales date back to this year. The holdup arose because Ford had to recall the Escape's European twin, the Kuga PHEV, over a fire risk thought to center on the high-voltage battery. At the time, a Ford spokesperson said, "We are moving full scale production of Escape PHEV to the 2021 model year. The first Escape PHEVs will be sold next year." With just three months left in 2021, a Ford spokesperson confirmed to Ford Authority that the Escape PHEV has finally made it to dealer lots. The end of the Escape PHEV's long and winding road comes about a week after the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring reached dealers. The compact luxury plug-in hybrid debuted at the 2019 LA Auto Show and was intended to go on sale in the summer of last year. But because it uses the same powertain as in the Escape, Ford had to delay the Lincoln as well.  Now that you can finally buy them, here's the quick recap. Both start with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-4 and an electric motor powering the front wheels, and a 14.4-kWh battery providing juice. The Escape makes 200 horsepower, can go 37 miles on all-electric driving, is EPA-rated at 105 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), and returns a combined 40 mpg if the battery's dead. It starts at $34,320 before incentives. The Lincoln adds an electric motor with a single-speed transmission to power the rear wheels, as Toyota has done with the all-wheel-drive Prius, RAV4 Hybrid and Lexus UX250h. Output in the Lincoln is 266 ponies, it manages 28 miles on pure electric driving, is EPA rated at 78 MPGe, and returns a combined 33 mpg on gasoline alone. It starts at $51,485 before incentives.

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.

Lincoln reignites the Navigator with bold concept

Wed, Mar 23 2016

The Lincoln Navigator's demise has been greatly exaggerated, and nearly 20 years after it first revolutionized the luxury segment, a new generation of the iconic sport-utility vehicle will again point the way forward for the brand. Previewed by a concept at the New York Auto Show, the new Navigator will hit showrooms next year joining the much-anticipated Continental sedan as Lincoln's twin flagships. The concept is "a very strong" hint of what the production Navigator will look like, Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. He's referring to the general appearance of the tall concept, which is confident, creased, and a bit reminiscent of a Range Rover. There are huge wheels, lots of chrome, and "Navigator" spelled out in blocked capital letters over the fender vents. It runs a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 400 horsepower and will ride on a new chassis, though Galhotra wouldn't offer more details. Oh, and it has gullwing doors. The crowd audibly oohed and aahed when that feature was demonstrated at a preview event in New York, but those are purely for show. They won't be on the production model, Galhotra said, and they're meant to demonstrate the spacious cabin. "The nature of the vehicle is very important ... and it's a great way to showcase that interior," he said. The inside of the concept is an interesting place. It has a rear cargo area that doubles as a closet, complete with shelves that make up a wardrobe management system, and there's a rail running down the middle of the passenger area. A multi-level running board cascades forward when the gullwing doors open, and the six seats are adjustable 30 ways. There are also wifi-equipped touchscreen monitors mounted in the seat backs. Inside and out, the Navigator carries a nautical vibe. It's covered in a soft shade of blue paint, while the interior has blue leather and teak accents. The Navigator concept features some of Ford's semi-autonomous technology, including pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection. The radar-and-camera-based system will look for obstacles in the vehicle's path, warn the driver, and then brake if needed. It also has a 360-degree camera and lane-keeping assist. Look for all of this on the production model. Launched in 1997, the Navigator is one of the original all-American large luxury SUVs – the Cadillac Escalade didn't arrive until 1999.
