Thank you for looking at our 1956 Lincoln Mark 11 I purchased this car 3 years ago from a gentleman who got it from
a family friend that passed away. When I went to purchase this car I met my mechanic, who works on all my old cars,
to inspect it with me. I was most concerned about the frame, because these cars are known for having bad frames. He
looked underneath it and told me it needed a little bit of work on the front frame but the rest of the frame was
fine. He put the car in his car carrier and said it would be ready in 3 to 4 weeks. Two months later, I called him
and asked "Where's my car?". He said that when he was underneath the Lincoln there were also some rust spots on the
main frame and he already tore it apart as a process of fixing it. I was not happy. He dragged his feet for 2 and a
half years to finish the car. Finally, he called me and told me it was done and I could pick it up the next day. At
that point, he had replaced the whole main frame (both sides), and fixed the front frames on both sides where they
went bad. And with all the work done correctly it was probably better than new. He also ran all new brake lines and
gas lines and replaced wheel cylinders, springs and other parts in the brakes. He also replaced the fuel pump,
tuned it up and rebuilt the carburetor.
This is what was damaged on the car:
-Passenger's side paint peeled off
-Needs a front window and 3 side windows
-Will probably need some new rubber in the door
Outside of that, it's good.
I'd also like to mention that all the chrome and all the aluminum is fine and there is no warpage in any door or
fender. When this thing blew up the mechanic ran outside and pulled the car out with a chain with his truck so
there was not that much damage actually done. I also would like to mention 3 years ago a new gas tank was put on
and 4 new tires that have less than 100 miles on them and within the last 2 months, I rebuilt the starter, put in a
new battery, and replaced the oil ring for the filter. I also would like to mention that I have the original radio
that goes with the car and the owners manual. You can get in this car now, start it up and drive it down the road.
It shifts correctly, the brakes are good, and there's not one rattle in the car. This car will need a total paint
job to bring it back to where it should be and also will need new carpeting and interior because the carpet is not
good.
The 57,000 miles are actual, it's an all matching numbers car, the title is clean as it shows in the slideshow and
it has the rare factory air conditioning option. Both front and rear bumpers are still in very very clean condition
for being 60 years old. We hope that someone will purchase this car from us that will restore it and take it to the
next level because these 56 Lincoln Mark 2s were in very limited production, and the ones that are still left
around should be restored for generations in the future to enjoy.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
Lincoln drops MKX base price to $38,995
Mon, Jun 22 2015Lincoln is giving the 2016 MKX a major improvement in style and tech, and is introducing the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 as an option for the luxury crossover. While all of those changes are significant, the cost might be just as enticing to get customers checking out the new generation. The base price for 2016 falls to $38,995, after an $895 destination charge on all models, compared to $39,795 for the 2015. At this time, there are three trim levels listed on Lincoln's site, but a Black Label version is supposed to come along later to add a bit more opulence. Above the base Premiere trim, the Select model starts at $42,285, and adds features like LED running lights, folding and heated mirrors, leather seats, and a power hatch. Spending $46,050 brings buyers to the Reserve trim with upgrades including a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, navigation, adaptive headlights, and heated seats. There are a huge number of individual options available, including full LED headlights and a safety suite of tech. Opting for the 2.7-liter EcoBoost pushes the price of any trim up an extra $2,000, and checking the box for all-wheel drive brings with it an added $2,495. As ever, you can spec one out yourself on the official configurator here.
Ford Announces Four Recalls, 1.4M Vehicles Affected
Thu, May 29 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013. Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though. "Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software." The most recent generation of the Ford Explorer is suffering from a similar malady, thanks to an intermittent electrical connection (we think that means short circuit) in the steering column. Like the Escape and Mariner, manual steering would still be available in the event of a power failure. Ford will recall 195,527 examples of its Explorer, 177,500 of which are in the US. This recall covers model years 2011 to 2013. According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that Ford will inform owners of affected vehicles by July 25. Ford is also recalling 200,000 Taurus sedans, over a corrosion issue in the license plate lamp. This particular recall, which covers vehicles from model years 2010 to 2014, is limited to drivers in northern climes. Vehicle owners in southern states are free to pass on the recall. Finally, 82,576 Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ sedans from 2006 to 2011 are being recalled because of floormats that can interfere with the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the offensive floormats with newer examples. "Ford is committed to providing our customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly for our customers," Felker wrote.
