Offered for sale is my 1948 Lincoln Continental coupe with 37,500 original miles. The original owner drove the car for 13 years and 27,400 miles, and it was then owned by a sequence 5 car collectors who drove it for another 10,000 miles. During this period the car continued to be maintained , repaired and upgraded as necessary to offset the aging process.

The fifth owner did the majority of the restoring as necessary including replacement of any worn parts as well as re-chrome and repaint. The sheet metal and paint are stunning. The upholstery is original and very presentable but not perfect. During this period the car was upgraded to a level that it earned many show awards including First Place CCCA Senior Badge, and Lincoln Continental Club Major National Award Winner. I entered the car in the 2014 Arizona Concours d Elegance and it was awarded a third place. As the sixth owner I have continued to make minor upgrades and and mainteinance as found necessary in driving the car. The factory build sheet indicates this car was assembled on March 20,1948 and the production of all V-12 Lincolns ended on March 23,1948. Since this car was one of the last Continentals produced it might be the last one made that survives.

The transmission and overdrive were overhauled but the only engine work to my knowledge has been head gasket replacement (iron heads). All of the gages, lights, radio, heater, clock, power windows, and windshield wipers all work properly. With the overdrive the car has no problem keeping up with freeway traffic. Tires have very little wear and steering and brakes all work properly, and the engine does not overheat. The clutch is not as smooth as new but there is no slippage. The engine compartment and under carriage have both been properly cleaned painted and detailed. There are two minor items that a new owner may want to correct: original side window glass has minor yellowing around the edges and one very small crack on the left door window.

Included with the car are the factory build sheet, repair receipts, many repair manuals, 2012 professional fair market value appraisal of $56,000, and complete history of its 66 years.

Ford abandons MyFord Touch, all hail Sync 3 infotainment [w/video]

Thu, Dec 11 2014

MyFord Touch has been among the most widely disdained automotive infotainment systems on the market, practically since its introduction in 2010. Consumer Reports was among the most vocal critics, all but advocating its lynching by an angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks. Not surprisingly, then, after such a critical walloping, Ford has finally decided to say goodbye to the unloved tech, declaring the end of MyFord Touch branding in favor of Sync 3 for its upcoming, all-new system. Ford is promising everything you would expect from Sync 3, including faster response time, better voice-command integration, easier controls and a more useable interface. The screen layout includes fewer items to make them easier to discern, and the icons are made from large, high-contrast buttons. There's also a dedicated tab for apps at the bottom of the screen in addition to those for audio, climate, phone and navigation. Another useful feature is the fact that Sync 3 can download improvements over your home Wi-Fi for easier updates. In addition to the revamped interface, the software running behind the scenes is a big change too. Rather than MyFord Touch's Microsoft-sourced system, Sync 3 uses the Blackberry-owned QNX, according to Automotive News. Such a switch was rumored earlier this year. Drivers still have to live with MyFord Touch a little longer, though. According to Automotive News, Ford said that the change to Sync 3 will happen during the 2016 model year with complete integration into the lineup by the end of the 2016 calendar year. It will come standard on Titanium trim models and as a separate option will be priced in line with the current MyFord Touch. The Sync 3 brand will carry over to Lincoln, too, but with a different look. The gallery above shows a few more looks at the interface, and we invite you to scroll down to watch a video of Sync 3 in action and to read Ford's press release about it, below.

Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014

Sun, Dec 28 2014

Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
