I've known of this car since the previous owner drove it home in 2008. I worked for this family as a carpenter off and on the whole time they owned it. I know for a fact this car sat majority of the time the previous owner had it. They maybe drove it 250 miles in the four years they owned it. The owner at the time unfortunately suffered a stroke shortly after buying it. Two owners before me passed on the following information about the car. It was brought to Iowa from California in 1971, it was parked in a garage and stored for 27 years, the 430 engine was overhauled and rebuild in 1998 from sitting for so long, the body was repainted in 1998, and it was only driven 700 miles from 71' to 98'. The odometer currently reads 15,135 miles. Based of the information provided by previous owners I believe this to be the original miles of the car. There is very little wear and tear on the brake and gas peddle and also the driver seat definitely doesn't look like someone has sat there for over 100k. Also, the nature of this car isn't intended for really long distance and or a lot of travel. The body is very straight and appears to have never been in any sort of serious accident. There is no serous pitting rust on the car. The only rust is surface rust that has started where the paint is chipped or scratched. This car is perfect for someone looking to do a restoration project on a rare and hard to find car. It has the factory 430 engine (350 hp). It has a three speed turbo-drive automatic transmission. This car is loaded with all sorts cool ultra high luxury items that where the top of the line in its day. The 58'-60' continental is the largest unit-construction car ever built. There were only 1409 of these cars produced in 59'. As you can see in the condition description I've done some of the initial steps for a restoration project to get the car driving and stopping, which it does very well. The engine sound strong and runs very well. The trans shifted through all gears and seems to shift smoothly. This car apparently has the high performance brake booster that I recently had rebuilt by the manufacture. I've only driven the car three miles since I had all the work done. I purchased this car with intentions of selling it from the start to help me out with other projects I have going on. Its pictured with a spare tire on the front passenger side but, that has been replaces with a matching tire allowing the car to be in it's proper stance. I hope this car can go to someone who will bring it to its full potential. All transportation logistics will be up the buyer to arrange.

On Feb-04-14 at 20:07:56 PST, seller added the following information:

There is a piece on the steering wheel that is an extension of the horn that was broken off at some point. I have the part that broke off. Some of the power windows work and some don't. The same could be said for the power locks. Could use some wiring work as mentioned earlier. The hood opens and closes but, doesn't close the easiest. Could use some minor adjusting to get it to close better. Feel free to email with any questions. Thanks

Lincoln considering giving cars real names again

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Enthusiastic reaction to the Continental concept might be the death knell for Lincoln's alphabet soup of monikers. "Without divulging the future, we're very excited about the Continental name and the attention it's gotten," Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs said to Automotive News. Hinrichs admitted that the current MK names could confuse those not familiar with the models. Hinrichs suggested that one way Lincoln might differentiate itself was to "leverage its heritage." While this is certainly nothing explicit, the talk could be an indication of an upcoming overhaul for the brand's naming scheme. The Continental is set to hit the market next year as a replacement for the MKS as the company makes a major push into China. Lincoln bosses reportedly gave the designers the model name as inspiration for what to create. The brand's health has slowly been improving since former Ford CEO Alan Mulally was ready to completely kill the brand. Last year, a new boss was appointed to the helm, and there were reports of a modular platform under development. Let us know in Comments what Lincoln names you want to see revived. The Town Car is likely the best-known model from the brand after the Continental, and Zephyr has fairly recent history as the brief moniker for the MKZ. Related Video:

EV tax credits: Here's every electric car or plug-in hybrid that qualifies

Tue, Apr 18 2023

Starting on April 18, the Internal Revenue Service released new guidance for U.S. buyers shopping for a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. On April 18th, the IRS showed only six fully electric vehicles on the qualified list, but a day later Volkswagen confirmed its U.S.-built ID.4 also qualifies. That means right now, seven fully electric vehicles qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit, with three more from Chevrolet coming for the 2024 model year (we would expect these 2024 models to roll out slowly and be difficult to find for at least the first few months they are on the market). In addition to those seven fully electric cars, two plug-in hybrids also qualify for the full $7,500 credit. To qualify, a vehicle must be assembled in North America and must meet a strict set of guidelines that cover where battery materials were sourced. If any battery materials come from certain countries (importantly including China), the vehicle's tax credit is automatically cut in half. Further, according to the IRS, the vehicle's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) can't exceed $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks or $55,000 for any other type of vehicle (basically meaning sedans). Electric vehicles that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Cadillac Lyriq (2023-2024) Chevrolet Blazer EV (2024) Chevrolet Bolt EV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Equinox (2024) Chevrolet Silverado (2024) Ford F-150 Lightning — all models (2022-2023) Tesla Model 3 Performance (2022-2023) Tesla Model Y Â— all models (2022-2023) Volkswagen ID.4 Â— U.S.-built models (2022-2023) Plug-in hybrid cars that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (2022-2023) Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring (2022-2023) A smaller credit is offered on fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids that are assembled in North America but have batteries with materials sourced from unqualified countries (mostly China).

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
