1957 Continental Mark II.  Believed to have less than 500 sold in 1957, so this is a rare car, only manufactured for the 1956 and 1957 model years.  This car is in driver condition.  It was originally a black car.  It was restored many years ago and changed to red.  The body has some metal and fiberglass patches.  The paint shines, but does have nicks and chips throughout.  The stainless is in nice condition.  The front bumper in good condition.  The rear bumper presentable, but some dings and touched up with silver paint.  

The interior was also re-done in the original style but with vinyl instead of leather.  It looks very fresh.  The seats are comfortable and without any tears or appreciable wear.  The dash and door panels look very nice without any cracking or damage beyond minor wear.  The carpet is in good condition.  
The transmission was rebuilt, engine gaskets replaced, new hoses, new brakes all around including new master cylinder done in 2007 per receipts.  
The radiator recored in 2012. 
The car starts easily and runs very nicely.  It goes down the street straight and smooth.  The transmission shifts well and there is plenty of torque to get this heavy car moving with ease.  It is a lot of fun to drive. 
The wing windows and front windows are power and work. 
The horn works. 

The bad:
The hood needs adjustment.  Not sure if the hinges need to be rebuilt or if a simple adjustment would work.  It sits high near the windshield.  However it opens and closes without a problem. 
There is an exhaust leak. 
The parking brake is inoperable. 
The rear power windows do not work. 
The wipers do not work. 
The heater core is disconnected, I assume because it leaked? 
The only option this car does not have is AC. 
The original air filter housing is missing. 
The frame has rust in the usual places. 
The gauges do not work. The mileage reads 38516, but is clearly not accurate. 
There is some rust bubbling where the patches meet the original sheet metal over the rear wheel openings. 
The bias ply tires, while they have a lot of tread, are old. 
The windshield and passenger wing window have small pellet type holes (see picture) and passenger window cracked. 


I think this car would make a great driver.  If I kept it, I would adjust the hood, replace the tires, and fix the exhaust leak and drive it.  It may be a little too much of a project for a new restoration, but that depends on your abilities and desires.  These cars are worth a lot restored.  

I need to get rid of this car as I pushed my luck with my wife.  This is the 5th car I bought on Ebay in the last couple of years.  My wife has been supportive and happy, until now.  We don't have room for any more.  If this one doesn't go, I'll have to get rid of another.  I figure this one will be the easiest to sell and none of us have become attached to it, yet!

A winning bid is a binding contract to purchase.  Please ask all questions before bidding and I encourage inspection of the vehicle.  Vehicle sold as is without any warranty.

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs.  In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue.   The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014.  As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.

Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
