 This is a chance someone to own a for extremely rare and famous REAL Classic car. This car is a factory handmade 1940 Lincoln Zepher Continental Convertible. I am sure any Ford expert would tell you how RARE these cars are.  They only made 350 of them in 1940. 

I am selling my 1940 Lincoln Zepher Continental Convertible. The car just reeks TOP CLASS and belongs in a car collection to be admired.  (This car really belongs in a car collection like Jay Lenos' or a collection that its "class" is going considerable upgrade it. It definitely would upgrade any collection !)  I restore antique cars, but am a driver- restorer.  My cars in my collection are driven and maybe shown once in a while.  This car is too valuable and rare for my taste and restoration. The car needs restoration but is remarkable condition for it's age.  What is for sale is the combination of two Lincoln convertibles (one a bit more rusty than the other). 

Most of the parts of sheet metal on the car that have rust have been reproduced. There is a new dash, two sets of top irons, two steering columns and steering wheels, complete interior (if not then there is at least 97% there), the Columbia rear end, four doors, fenders that are practically rust free and two practically rust free hoods, bumpers and a ton of interior parts and exterior parts, etc. 

In other words, at least two of just about everything. Or about four of the things you would need two of!

I want to sell the Lincoln, but I'm going to be perfectly honest about Lorane (the name my family gave to the Lincoln). The car is a restores dream.  It will be fairly easy to restore (been there and done that), but it will not be able to done on a shoestring.  A car of this quality and fame will require the top of line no matter what has to be done. But it will well worth the investment !  This year Lincoln is extremely rare and valuable !

Don't insult me with low ballers, please.  I know what the car is worth.

Now, before I get a bunch of Ford people calling me about the Lincolns history I want everyone to know that what I know about the car is what I've been told and have not done a bunch of research on the car.

Any questions call me at 815-351-6655.

Possible MKX concept teased as Lincoln confirms China expansion

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

We've been speculating for years about the future of Lincoln. Some thought that Ford needed to kill the division like it did Mercury, while others saw the sales possibility in a brand with so much history. Ford has finally made a decision, and it wasn't what many people were expecting. Lincoln is launching in China this fall, with the brand rollout starting at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show. A new video hints that we might even get to see the concept for the next-generation MKX.
Lincoln is marketing itself in China as a customer-focused, high-end luxury ownership experience. To prove it, the Lincoln Space in Beijing is meant both as a prototype dealer and a grand show of its plans. The modernist structure looks more like an art museum than a car showroom, and the interior decor is like a high-end hotel lobby. The company says that every dealer is going to have license plate recognition technology that knows when an owner arrives, and there will also be a Personalization Studio where potential buyers can design their car with family. Lincoln is promising to have eight showrooms ready in seven cities by this fall.
Of course, a stylish showroom is nothing without cars to sell. Lincoln is promising five models on sale in China by 2016. The MKZ and MKC launch this fall. A midsize luxury SUV, a fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator are coming later. All of the models sold there are being imported from North America.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
