1961 Kennedy Presidential Lincoln Limo ( Oliver Stone Jfk Film) on 2040-cars
Monroe, Michigan, United States
This 1961 Lincoln duplicate was constructed in the mid 1980's from a private builder. The builder was provided the original research and blueprints from the Hess Motor Coach Company the original builder of President John F. Kennedy's car. This car is near perfect and was said to be the match to the original by the late Bill Hess who built Kennedy's car. I acquired the "JFK LIMO" over 32 years ago. This car is the most recognizable car int he world! Over the last 20 years the JFK Limo has had a long history in itself.
In 1990 Oliver Stone and Warner Bros. rented the JFK Limo for the film, "JFK". Thru the years JFK Limo did many Hollywood films such as: "Ruby" a Sony Picture, "A Woman Named Jackie" NBC TV, "JFK Inside the Target Car" Discovery, "JFK The Lost Bullet" National Geographic, " Behind The Headlights" Speed TV, " The Watchman", Warner Bros. The JFK limo has been used in many parades and the guest list runs from the Prime Minister of defense of Ireland to the cast of Miami Vice. Over the years this car has been on tour in the private collection called The JFK Experience. From state fairs, home and garden shows to major casinos the JFK limo is the star attraction from all age groups! The car has the ability to make additional financial income when placed in the proper setting and venue. Feel free to contact me for any questions. Please, serious buyers only with financial ability to bid. A great car and a one of a kind that will ever be built. To make this car today would be very expensive and the plans are not available to bring the the authenticity of this car. The original Kennedy Limo was built in 1961 for $200,000.00 dollars. There was no amour plating, no bullet proof tires or other added specialties other then the full custom Presidential Limo details as in this car. The secret service handles, the parade rail and all other special features are from the same blueprints as the original. Truly a car to have in your collection. |

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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
