1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe, Senior Ccca Winner, 37,500miles, Show And Driver on 2040-cars
Sun City West, Arizona, United States
|
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. If you want more information or 30 more photos please contact Bill at 928-537- 4608. Notice to bidders: Please read all terms and conditions as you are entering into a legally binding contract. This car is as is where is, there is no warranty either written or implied. Winning bidder is required to submit $2000.00 deposit within 48 hours either paypal or money wire.

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.

Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach
Thu, 15 Aug 2013With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.
