HERE IS A GORGEOUS LOOKING AND HIGHLY OPTIONED 1957 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK II THAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY BODY-ON RESTORED AND IS A TURN-KEY DRIVER. VERY ORIGINAL CAR WITH 38K MILES ON THE ODOMETER!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

This is one of 500 or so Mark II's produced in 1957. These were "benchmark" cars offered by Lincoln, and were basically all hand made, sort of like Rolls Royces back in the day. They were used to promote the brand, but were so expensive to build that the company nearly lost money on every one they sold, thus explaining the very few numbers of presentable to fine examples still around today.

Vehicle came out of Wisconsin. This car was acquired from the 3rd owner I believe. It had an older body-on restoration presumably done in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Since I've acquired it I did lots of small things to the car, mostly in the form of service work and maintenance as it didn't need much else to be a nice driver. Radiator was completely recored a few months ago. The transmission was completely rebuilt, NEW engine gaskets insalled, NEW hoses, NEW brakes all around including NEW master cylinder done in 2007 per receipts.Car runs/drives like a dream, very quiet and very smooth. Odometer shows 38k miles. 

Under the hood lies the MATCHING NUMBERS 368ci V8 motor that is virtually all stock other than the aftermarket air cleaner. Starts up nicely and idles beautifully.

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been overhauled and stop great. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds fairly quiet and is very responsive with little if any play in the steering wheel.

Interior is virtually all stock as you'll see in the pictures and was all RECENTLY REDONE COMPLETELY. NEW seat covers throughout, NEW carpeting, NEW door panels, NEW headliner, etc. etc. Steering wheel has various cracks throughout. Dash looks in good shape as well with minor wear. Overall beautifully presentable for a high-end driver.

Chrome is very presentable as well. Front bumper is very nice, rear one is presentable with a couple of areas where it has been touched up.

Underside is notorious on these cars for varying greatly from car to car, as these cars were basically all hand built back in the 50s. This particular Lincoln is in fair/good shape overall. Floors appear to be in fair shape with no large holes anywhere. Frame appears solid, with a couple of areas where there may have been small patches. Heavy undercoating evident, as is common with these (i've had a couple in the past and they all look the same). Overall fairly good shape.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall GOOD with FAIRLY NICE shine but could definitely use a good wetsand and buff by a professionally to really make it shine (some touch-ups, small chips here and there, and other minor imperfections as you would expect). Hood needs minor adjustment as it sits a little high towards the windshield, but opens and closes fine. No rust appearing from outside the car other than a few tiny bubbles where the rear wheel openings had a couple of metal patches. Not working: all gauges (cluster needs reconditioning), wipers, rear power windows, parking brake. Small exhaust leak. Windshield and passenger wing window have small pellet cracks from stones hitting it, while passenger front window has a tiny crack.

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GOOD LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives BEAUTIFULLY, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish

Tue, Sep 6 2016

The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.

Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van

Wed, Jan 28 2015

Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
