1956 (lincoln) Continental Mark Ii on 2040-cars
Williamston, North Carolina, United States
|
A rare 1956 Continental Mark II. It has been stored inside a garage for over 30 years. I bought it as part of an estate sale. I am a Lincoln (and Continental) enthusiast and had my eye on this car for over 20 years. This particular car, in my opinion, is quite restorable. It spent it's early years in Pennsylvania and I am certain there is where the rust that it has came from. It does have rust coming up, from the bottom of the fenders but, amazingly the doors are rust-free and close like a bank vault. The hood and trunk are essentially rust-free. In fact, any rust that you can actually see is minor surface rust. Because the tires were flat (and would not hold air) I have not been able to inspect the frame... even with only my hand. Based on how solid the car remained while being pulled up on a roll-back truck (and also let down) and how the doors open and close like that of a new car I feel, strongly, for the right person (ie. someone who can do all of their body work, engine work, etc.) that this would be an awesome way of having and owning this extraordinary car at a reasonable price (it's value will only increase). The seats are blue and white leather. In many ways they are good enough for a daily driver. The car does not have air conditioning. I don't want to leave out the fact that the car will need new floor pans as in the driver's footwell they are rusted-through in many areas. The car is still sturdy enough for one to sit inside and the front seat remains at a normal height. The head light bezels are in the trunk. The car only has two correct hubcaps.The chrome-plating must have been to an incredibly high quality as the bumpers are still shiny. In any event, please feel free to e-mail me with questions and if necessary you can call me. The car is not currently running (or I should say I have not tried to turn the engine over). The trunk floor is completely solid with the exception of a small amount of rust where the spare tire sits. I photographed the bottom of the door sills and the doors themselves... they are not rusty.

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]
Fri, 07 Dec 2012Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.
Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
