This is one of the last automobiles remaining from my husband's 42 car collection. He loved the big classic and antique cars and they were all well maintained. A long-time mechanic continues to maintain the cars for me.

As much as I can relate history of the 1958 Lincoln, I will first tell what I know has been done to the car. This may not be everything but it's what I discovered in the file. As far as I know, the car has always been a desert car. My husband purchased it from a widow in Palm Springs. The chrome has been redone and the vehicle repainted.

Mechanics: the engine was removed, disassembled, cleaned all parts, machine cylinder block, grind crank shaft, resize rods back to standard, grind valves, knurl guides, resurface heads, all wearing engine parts in the block replaced with new parts. Parts needed in cylinder head replaced. Replaced exhaust. There are more items listed on the invoice for the engine. It will be provided to the buyer. The transmission was rebuilt. Generator replaced.

Ask questions and I will research the file. My husband's collection included 42 classic and antique vehicles. He drove them all and garaged them.

The 1958 Lincoln Continental was the biggest American built car between 1958 and 1960. They truly epitomized the 'big' cars Detroit was building during the 1950s and early 1960s. They were also very luxurious. All Lincoln's came equipped with power brakes, power steering, radio, heater-defroster, clock, windshield washer, padded dash, center armrest, dual exhausts, air conditioning The big Lincoln was powered by a Lincoln 430 cubic-inch V8 that offered 315 horsepower.

Though this edition is known as the "Mark III," the first models bore the nameplate "Continental III" on the front fender. They differed from the lower-model full-size Lincolns in trim level and in their roof treatment, featuring a reverse-angle power rear "breezeway" window that retracted down behind the back seat.

The 1958 Continental Mark III cars, as were the 1959 Mark IV and 1960 MarkV, are largely forgotten, and in fact, were purposely "unremembered" by Ford Motor Company which introduced a new Lincoln Continental Mark III in 1968 in the genre of the 1956-1957 cars but at a far more "popularly priced" sales point.

These cars are so forgotten that they now must be so rare as to be highly collectible. When was the last time that you saw one? Interestingly enough, these cars weighed in at over 2 1/2 tons and were considered massive, heavy, comfortable, ultra-luxury cars when new - but weigh no more than many large SUV's of the current day. Fuel economy, however, is an oxymoron with these cars due to their then all-new, massive and heavy 430 cubic inch V8 engine producing 375 hp with four-barrel carburetors. (Carburetor on this car replaced with an Edelbrock after-market four-barrel.)

Other specifications include 131" wheelbase, overall length one inch shy of 19 feet long, and a total weight of 5,000 lbs.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.

Lincoln dealers frustrated over slow MKZ production ramp-up

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
