Tijeras, New Mexico, United States
|
A unique American classic with only 444
made in 1957, making this car a rare piece of American car history! With a long hood, short deck, and sculpted trunk holding the "continental" spare in a semi-upright position, the Mark II boasted being a sporty, yet elegant, modern-for-the-time classic. This car has been painstakingly started through the restoration process. It has good glass; two original leather interiors; two of the main bumpers re-chromed; body
work completed and primed for painting; and the air conditioning unit, plus parts that have been carefully stored. No appreciable rust is apparent. The Continental has been garaged for the past 33 years. Most of the hard
restoration work has been completed! Reassembly and detailing is required. The
engine had been running and the car driven when it started through the restoration
process. However, the car has not been started for at least 12 years. The engine and transmission have not been modified. Mileage: 83,701.
The Mark II originally sold for around $10,000, the equivalent of a new Rolls-Royce or two Cadillacs! Famous owners included Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, the Shah of Iran, and a cross section of the richest men in America. Taylor's car was a gift from Warner Bros. studio, and was painted a custom color to match her distinctive eye color. The car was featured in the 1956 film High Society, starring Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Louis Armstrong. |

2019 Lincoln MKC crossover dials up the luxury perks
Tue, Nov 21 2017Lincoln is taking the wraps off its 2019 MKC, which hits showrooms next summer, revealing a substantially refreshed, more stylish compact luxury crossover that adds new driver-assistance and connectivity technologies and a host of premium ownership perks and options. They include new Black Label personalized trim themes and the ability to pick an exclusive dinner from a curated list of chef-driven restaurants. As we previously forecast, the MKC gets the new Continental-style grille, plus new LED headlamps and a neat touch in a Lincoln welcome mat illuminated on the ground from underneath both front doors to welcome driver and passenger. It also adds new driver-assist features including a pre-collision assist warning and braking system that can detect pedestrians, plus available options like lane-keeping alerts, parallel-parking assistance and a blind spot information system. Owners can also opt for the Lincoln Black Label treatment, which includes premium trim upgrades but also a roster of membership perks: annual vehicle detailing, anytime carwashes and access to a curated list of restaurants where feted chefs will prepare a special dining experience. There are three Black Label themes, each inspired by the arts, travel, fine food and culture: Modern Heritage, defined by a clean, modern aesthetic and Vianca White Venetian leather Indulgence, which lives up to its billing with surfaces trimmed in Venetian leather and Alcantara and accents from Ziricote wood And Center Stage, inspired by the world of theater, featuring a diamond-L perforation pattern on the Alcantara cloth inserts finished with precisely stitched Foxfire Red piping, exotic wood accents and Jet Black Venetian leather with Firefox Red accents. In addition, the Reserve trim features a Rialto Green cabin with black ash wood accents, which Lincoln says reflects a current theme popular in high fashion. Other options include a panoramic roof and heated and cooled seats. As part of what the Ford sub-brand calls the "effortless ownership experience," the MKC will come with standard pickup and delivery service to and from dealerships for service visits, plus the use of a loaner Lincoln while the car is being worked on. Lincoln says it's the only luxury brand that offers such a service standard.
