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.

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

2017 Lincoln Continental spied inside and out

Thu, Jul 9 2015

Lincoln certainly made us stand up and take notice when it unveiled the Continental concept at the New York Auto Show this past March. Showcars, however, are only worth so much if they never reach production. But as these latest spy shots indicate, Ford's luxury division is hard at work taking the new Conti from show floor to showroom. The team from Dearborn has clearly gone to great lengths to disguise this prototype, wrapping it in a new type of camouflage with trompe l'oeil bulbous-looking shapes to keep us from seeing just how close the production version will keep to (or how far it may stray from) the concept's design. Our spy photographers did, however, manage to snap some shots of the inside through the side glass, and though it's still evidently some ways off from reaching production, some key details give us an idea of what to expect. Look closely and you can make out the buttons for the transmission running down the side of the infotainment screen, just like on other new Lincolns. The chromework appears to have been toned down some from the blinged-out dashboard of the showcar, but it may be too early to say how much shine there will be to the production model. The overall design of the center console looks pretty darn close to the version we saw in New York, though. The Continental is expected to replace the MKS, as Lincoln moves away from alphabetical nomenclature back towards actual nameplates. Assembly is slated to be undertaken in Flat Rock, MI. There are a great many more details yet to be uncovered, but as far as early indications go, it looks like Lincoln is well on its way to making its concept a reality. Related Video:

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.

Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.
