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!

2020 Lincoln Corsair will be revealed at the New York Auto Show

Wed, Mar 27 2019

It's official, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair will be revealed at the New York Auto Show this April. To go along with the announcement is a teaser video that, well, doesn't reveal much of anything except the crossover's name prominently displayed on the front fender. But we know a fair bit about the crossover from spy shots and prior announcements. The Corsair is the successor to the MKC, Lincoln's smallest crossover, which is also based on the Ford Escape. We expect that it will continue to be based on the Escape, albeit the completely redesigned one that hasn't yet been revealed. That also means powertrains will probably be shared, but the Lincoln might get one or two model-specific powertrains like with the Lincoln Aviator. Reportedly, the new Corsair will feature turbocharged 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter four-cylinder engines along with a plug-in hybrid. Spy shots have revealed that the Corsair will have styling closely related to that of the larger Aviator. That means a floating roof, more broad-shouldered nose, and large amounts of glass. The inside is also inspired by the Aviator and Navigator and features piano-key shift buttons, a low, wide dash and a healthy amount of chrome. 2020 Lincoln Corsair spied View 16 Photos

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings

Thu, Dec 7 2017

Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
