This is a NO RESERVE auction for my my 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible.  This has been in our family for about 30 years, my dad starting restoring it about 20 years ago, but never finished, so here’s your chance to restore it and get it back on the road.  This car originally came with the V12, but it was missing when we got it.  He put a Mustang II front end in it, disc brakes, Ford 9” rear end and a Ford 400 motor with AT.  The fenders were removed and the body was media blasted and painted with bare metal etching primer.  No bondo or bodywork has been done.  You can see in the pics that there are a few rusty places in the floor that need to be replaced, but otherwise the car is very solid and rust free.  All of the fenders, doors, and other sheet metal are rust free and very straight.

 

He’s been collecting spare parts for it over the years and has duplicate parts for just about every part of the car.  Spare fenders, dashes, gauges, switches, radios, grilles, bumpers, etc… There’s even a brand new spare radiator with a custom brass top that’s polished to a mirror finish.  The original radiator is also included with the dual inlets and dual outlets that were on all of the V12 cars.

 

The convertible top is complete with all of the bows and can be raised and lowered manually.  The hydraulic lift struts are still there, including the original aluminum interior panels.

 

The continental kit is all original and complete with spare tire brackets and tire cover panels that are in perfect original condition.

 

This car is super rare and is an excellent candidate for restoration because it’s very complete, rust free and in great condition.  As far as we can tell, it’s been here in Arizona it’s entire life, so it’s in really good shape.  When we bought it, it was stored in a garage and for the last 30 years we’ve had it stored in the garage as well.  There are enough accessory parts for 2 cars.  My dad recently passed away and I wouldn’t be able to restore this car the way it should be done, so I hope it goes to a good car family that can bring it back to life.

 

The car has a clear Arizona title in my name, it’s not a salvage title and there are no liens.

 

Because there are so many spare parts and they won’t all fit in the car, I will NOT ship internationally.  Transportation of this car will consist of a auto trailer as well as a truck bed just for all of the spare parts.  Please make arrangements with me before final bidding to arrange transportation.  The car rolls very easily and the tires will hold air for a few days.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Tesla offered nuclear plant in France, and more | Autoblog Minute

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Longtime GM design chief Ed Welburn retires, Lincoln says it has high customer interest in Continental, and could Tesla build the Model 3 in France? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] General Motors' long time Vice President of design, Ed Welburn, announced his retirement this week. He joined GM in 1972 and he's just the sixth design chief in GM's 108 years. He's being replaced by Michael Simcoe who is Vice President of design for GM's international operations. Now Ed Welburn's time at GM dates back to when he was 11 years old. He wrote a letter to the company saying he wanted to be a designer. [00:00:30] Someone at General Motors got back to him and the rest is history. Lincoln already has 40,000 hand raisers for the new Continental. Now those aren't Tesla figures but it's still a very healthy number and shows a lot of interest for its new flagship sedan. The Continental will replace the MKS in Lincoln's lineup. Continental will be in showrooms this fall and it will offer a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo with 400 HP. Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra said, "No other Lincoln vehicle has [00:01:00] generated this much interest in this little time." This week in Tesla news, Reuters reports that a French government official has offered Elon Musk the site of a an old nuclear reactor to build a car factory. The reactor, which is located in the Alsace region of France, is set to close at the end of this year. Now this notion is not that far fetched. Musk says that he would consider it. Meanwhile demand for the Model 3 continues to be strong and has attracted hundreds of thousands of hand raisers. [00:01:30] Those are the highlights form the week that was. Be sure to come back this Saturday for my full recap where I'll have additional insights into the automotive industry. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

2017 Lincoln Continental reimagined as a coupe

Thu, Jan 21 2016

If nothing else, the production version of the Lincoln Continental has provided ample water-cooler fodder around the office. There are a few camps: the "it took guts to build it" folks giving credit where due on a handsome design with an ambitious interior, and the "MKZ misstep" group haranguing the Motor Company for blowing fancy new styling cues on a lesser beast. And yet, unifying forces exist. We can all agree that these artist renders depicting a Continental sans a pair of doors present a captivating notion. Back in 1939, the original Continental was a two-door. Over time, four doors of various types, including convertibles, infiltrated the lineup. The last time the Continental was on sale, it was a four-door front-driver based on the platform shared with the Mercury Sable and Ford Taurus. Even though the new production Continental, like that penultimate one, is based on a front-drive platform, the execution is much different. As you probably already know, it features a so-far unique 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and an advanced torque-vectoring AWD system, standard. Some neat concept car touches, like the fancy door handles and patented 30-way adjustable seats, made it in. What a two-door would bring to the table is mainly stylistic, emphasizing the long parallel character line in the door with brightwork running under the window that's echoed in the lower door sculpting and chrome strip. It accentuates the car's length, and calls attention to the trim taillights and their interconnecting bar element. A longer door makes for a more elegant transition into the C-pillar. It makes the production Continental, with its blacked-out but still obviously chunky B-pillar, look fussy. We don't expect Lincoln to build a coupe – that may be too wild for a company that doesn't seem completely comfortable with the notion of reinvention – but these renders were just too good not to share. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Related Video:
