Up for sale is a very clean and unique 1962 Lincoln Continental. Beautiful example of a well kept California rust-free classic. This Lincoln has been in the Los Angeles area its entire life and always stored indoors. Still has the original matching set of black & gold license plates. Most people choose to paint these cars black but very few of them were actually factory black cars. In fact less than 3% of all early 60’s Continentals came in that color. This is one of those few cars built in 62’ that came with paint code “A” (Presidential Black). This is a true matching numbers car with original power train, exterior paint color, and interior color. I get compliments, thumbs up, and turn heads every time I drive it. Clean CA title in hand with tags just paid until Feb 2015.

Factory 430ci engine and 3-speed auto transmission were both rebuilt in 2011 and have less than 10k miles since the rebuild (over $5k spent on overhaul). The car has 71k original miles on chassis. Runs like a dream and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. Lots of power coming from that big block under the hood and it tstill moves pretty easy for such a large car. It’s very reliable, has no mechanical issues, and doesn’t leak a drop of oil. Most of these Lincoln’s have leaks coming from the original power steering system and transmission but that’s all been rebuilt on this car. All of the chrome, stainless steel trim, and glass is original to the car. Most of it was re-chromed and polished 5 years ago when the car was repainted for the first time. Clean two-stage paintjob done in 2009 with very straight body lines and perfect 1/4 ” gaps between panels throughout. It has all original rust-free body panels, floors, and frame rails. All four doors open and close very easy with no sagging. Original glass is clean with no cracks or noticeable scratches. All the windows were recently serviced and had new motors and rollers installed which made them move fast and quietly now. All 7 window switches work properly as well. The weather-stripping was replaced at time of paintjob including new door seals. The interior is mostly original and still looks like the day it rolled off the assembly line. The dash pad and steering wheel are in near mint condition with no cracks unlike most 50+ year old Lincolns. This is a clear indicator the car was never parked outdoors in the hot California sun for too long. The upholstery was redone about 3 years ago in black leather, replaced the headliner with correct perforated style vinyl fabric, installed new wood inserts, did a full dash detail, and trunk compartment detail. All the interior and exterior lights work fine. Original AM radio still turns on and sounds good. The whitewall tires are about a year old and are pretty much still new (paid $1200 for the set). Brakes  & suspension work well and car handles and stops good at any speed. I’ve got the original owners manual from 1962, as well as an assembly manual, maintenance manual, and various invoices. I also have the original dealer set of black mats and trunk jack not shown in the pictures but will go with the car.

Known issues; the A/C system is due for a service, still blows cool air but not ice-cold as it’s suppose to. All the interior vents and dash controls work fine. The seat switch needs to be rebuilt or swapped for a replacement (seat only moves in 2 directions right now). Fuel gauge not reading correctly, (might need a new tank floater or calibrate the gauge itself). Aside from these minor issues the Lincoln pretty much looks and runs as good as it did in 1962.

Car is available for inspection by any potential buyer during the auction so feel free to call and set up an appointment (714) 426-9147 -Felix. Bring your mechanic and take it for a spin, you’ll be sold on it after a short drive. I’m not interested in any trades so please don’t ask. This is a No Reserve listing and it well go to the highest bidder no matter what. Thanks for viewing my listing and good luck!

Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

It 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.

Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.

50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China

Tue, Dec 5 2017

SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."
