The biggest production car ever made just got customized!!!! The 1958 Lincoln your looking at has had a full transformation to current condition by Acme Rods Inc. a certified shop with over 17 years in the business. Our goal was to retain the original class of this cutting edge for its time luxury automobile, while bringing it into the 21st century. To change the attitude of this monster all four corners had to go on air bags, the lower the better. So, no standard kit would do the job everything had to be made to order, how will i get replacement parts you ask. Well, our engineering team already thought of that, we not only rebuilt all of the suspension components so that you will have years of trouble free service, we made sure that ever part of the suspension change over is a stocked item at any auto repair store. Every piece of the suspension front and rear is new, ball joints, suspension bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, steering idler arm, and the steerring box has been rebuilt. For anyone that has ever had the pleasure of rebuilding a lincoln of this era before knows how much of an expense this can be and how hard it is to locate all these parts, all of this trouble has been done for you. Two compressors and twin five gallon tanks were mounted in the trunk along with the solenoid valves. Although these components usually fill a normal cars truck there is plenty of room for a full size spare and all the luggage you and your friends or family would ever need for a weekend retreat. A car this big has to have a great braking system, the original system was not that at all. Every part of the drum braking system was removed, and four wheel disc brakes and a po wer booster replaced the antiquated original. all the hoses and lines were replaced or upgraded. New emergency brake cables were custom made, the entire system works flawlessly easily stops a 7000lbs plus car. All the original pedals and warning lights were retained and function exactly as they would have in 1958 when this car was brand new. One thing has always been Paramount at Acme Rods Inc., HORSEPOWER. This is the original numbers matching 430 Lincoln Maurder factory rated at 415hp. As we stated what a great starting point, we took this recently overhauled engine and made sure every nut bolt and spec was absolutely perfect. We installed a new timing chain, resealed every gasket or seal that even remotely looked like it had a leak or a drip. While it was a part we painted everything back to the original lincoln engine color. We installed a new water pump, thermostat, belts and hoses, recored the radiator and had it pressure tested. Also replaced was the points and condensor, why use out of date parts when you can use modern tecnology we asked and installed an electonic trigger from pertronix. New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, gone is the ballast resistor and a new 3ohm coil replaces it for years of trouble free service. The original carburater was beyond a satisfactory rebuild so a holley direct fit replacement was put on and an open element air cleaner that retains the orinal appearance. All new exhaust was ran from the freshly rebuilt manifolds to the rear bumper. A custom h pipe was added and magnaflow mufflers with chrome turn downs were installed. The entire a/c system had been ravage by years of storage, so every part was replaced, new compressor, lines, dryer, and condensor. Older a/c systems ran r-12 and that is all but exist now so it was converted to r-134a any auto parts store sells 134a if the need to ever top the system off would arise. While we were at it the original heater cores were showing signs of weepage so we recored them both and installed all new hoses. Another major hurdle with older lincons is the electrical system, making all power options work can be a major expense. We went through every system and all of them work perfectly now. All seven windows work, power vent windows, all four door windows and the rear window. The six way power seat functions perfectly and the power vent/ heat, ac switch cycles exactly as its supposed to. All the lighting system has been rebuilt and everything works from high beam low beams to the backup lamps are a never fail to operate system now. The fuel system has been upgraded a new tank and pickup were installed along with a fuel filter which was not part of the original system. The interior is original except for the carpet which was repalced with an exact copy of the original. The exterior paint is original and it does show its age, but it works flawlessly with the look that the car gives of when the air ride is let down and the custom 17" black rock wheels are swallowed whole into the wheel wells. New rubber was installed on the wheels and it is setup with a stagger from front to back. This has been an amazing project that we at Acme Rods Inc. have all enjoyed, but like all projects they come to an end and we move on to the next one. We named this one project Marilyn....... Manson, happy bidding whoever wins this item will not be disappointed we can arrange shipping in the lower 48 for a fee all international shipppng is buyers responsibilty.

Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs
Thu, Jun 1 2023The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take: The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros: All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons: CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd — "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis: 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design  2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
