1958 Lincoln Contintental Convertible
New for the Lincoln Continental in 1958 was a 430 cu. in. 400 hp V8 engine accompanied with a turbo-drive transmission. The main bones of the Continental body features an all steel body with welded double panel doors. Inside features many luxury conveniences all available at the touch of a button. Including a retractable rear window that slides out of sight with just a flick of the switch to give an open car ventilation. The exterior is polished with baked enamel with 3 primer coats and 2 finish coats to give it the ultimate sheen.
This automobile was owned by a local collector and now needs a new home!
This car has been in storage for the last couple of years, prior to that it had extensive mechanical maintenance performed at a local repair shop in excess of $1000. In addition, a new power top pump was installed at the Ford Dealer.
The overall condition of the car is good and as follows:
*The engine starts and runs very good, engine compartment nice.
*The transmission goes into forward and reverse but NOT road tested.
*There are minor fluid leaks which could be the result of storage/non-use.
*The body metal is in very good condition.
*The paint is somewhat oxidized but very serviceable.
*The glass is all good.
*The convertible top is very nice.
*The interior is the weakest point and needs upholstery and carpet.
*Miscellaneous repairs are surely needed.
*Included is a 1958 Continental Service Manual as pictured.
Overall I would rate this car a 7 out of 10, but, I encourage an inspection be done for your own peace of mind. Please contact me to arrange a viewing. Please review all pictures and information and contact me with any additional questions. As I am sure everyone will understand, this car is sold AS-IS.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
Lincoln Continental Concept has arrived on the New York stand
Thu, Apr 2 2015The return of the Lincoln Continental, albeit in concept form, has not been without controversy. Bentley chief designer Luc Donckerwolke going as far as to call the car a "copy" of its own Flying Spur, offering to send the British sedan's tooling to Detroit. But while debate can rage over any similarities – you can and should head over and vote in our poll on the matter – can we all at least agree to see something interesting happening with Lincoln design? Gone are unattractive styling trademarks like Lincoln's winged grille, while less polarizing elements like the vehicle-spanning taillights have been refined. The three-box design, meanwhile, dismisses the coupe-like stylings of the latest MKZ , opting for a long hood, short deck and a more traditional three-box layout. The advantage of that, of course, is cabin space. The Continental is designed for rear-seat passengers, offering opulent, Venetian leather seats with Alcantara inserts and 30-way adjustability. Just so we're clear, we have a hard time even thinking of 30 different ways to adjust a seat, so well played Lincoln. The headliner is satin, a briefcase sits in each back rest and dedicated tray tables allow for work on the go. It's plush, even in the world of pie-in-the-sky concepts. Check out our latest batch of live photos of the all-new Continental Concept, live from its stand at the 2015 New York International Auto Show.
