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's China sales keep falling, down 30% in third quarter

Fri, Oct 11 2019

BEIJING — Ford's July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 30%, as the U.S. automaker continued to lose ground in a prolonged sales decline in its second biggest market. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker delivered 131,060 vehicles in China in the third quarter, Ford said in a statement. Ford's sales in China fell 35.8% in the first quarter and by 21.7% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, sales of the automaker's mass-market Ford brand fell 37.7%, while its luxury division Lincoln saw sales drop by 24.1%. It delivered around 421,000 vehicles in the first nine months of the year, according to Reuters calculations. Ford has been struggling to revive sales in China after its business began slumping in late 2017. Sales sank 37 percent in 2018, after a 6 percent decline in 2017. The automaker plans to launch more than 30 new models in China over the next three years, of which more than a third will be electric vehicles. It also said it would localize management teams by hiring more Chinese staff and aimed to improve relationships with joint venture partners. Ford has launched a series of new models in the third quarter in China, including Focus, Edge, and the electric Territory. In China, Ford makes cars through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors. It has said it would partner with Zotye Automobile Co to sell lower-priced cars, but there seems to have been little progress. In a series of moves, Ford named a new president for its main local venture, Changan Ford, in August and said it would enhance its partnership with Changan through research, production and marketing cooperation in September. Ford is also planning to revamp some of its existing manufacturing facilities with Changan to localize production of its premium brand Lincoln. Changan Ford's sales down by around 33.5% in the third quarter, according to Reuters calculations based on Changan's filings. Ford rival General Motors' July-to-September vehicle sales in China fell 17.5%, to 689,531 vehicles. As GM and Ford China sales extend declines, U.S. car companies' market share of total China passenger vehicle sales fell to 9.5% in the first eight months of this year, from 10.7% in the year-ago period, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Over the same period, German carmakers' share has risen to 23.8% from 21.6%, and Japanese automakers' share rose to 21.7% from 18.3%.

Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022   For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases.  Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.
