This car belonged to my Father who I bought it new in 1965. It was always garage kept its entire life and only driven in good weather to parades and special events and occasionally on Sundays.It has 59,231 origional miles on it. It was in perfect running condition when last used in 1982 which was the last time it was inspected in Pennsylvania. He was the only one to drive it and he always babied it. He had the repair manual and always maintained it properly. As far as I remember only the mufflers were replaced at Midas at one time with a Life Time Guarantee. The only thing I did when I removed it from his garage was to clean it off, change the oil and filter. The gas tank had to be cleaned out completly from sitting so long and to get it to run properly. I cleaned the carburator and plugs. The car runs and drives properly now. It has an automatic transmission. 430 V8 engine with air conditioning, clock, 6 way power seats, power steering (steers with one finger) Power brakes, Power windows and vent windows.Padded instrument panel with NO cracks or tears. Remote mirror, Origional Radio and retractable power antenna. The tires are bias from the 80s and need replacing but still stay up. There is NO rot anywhere on the car and it is solid. It has NEVER been in an accident. The chrome is very good and not pitted. There are only several small dents and one in the left rear bumperette. The top is extremely good and has no tears or discoloration. The Leather Seats are in excellent condition and are Not cracked or dried out. I have NOT attempted to drive it very much but the grounds and seals would have to be checked as expected from a car that has sit that long in storage. I do know everything worked when it was origionally parked. This would be a Great car to Restore or use everyday with a good going over. He also had the exact same 1965 LIndoln Continental Hard Top that he had the rocker panels welded in (NO bondo didnt beleive in it) and repainted a sort or cream color. He planned to have the convertible repainted to match and use in weddings for the bride and the hard top for the family. I intend to list the hard top as soon as I can get it running. It was storred in the same garage with the convertible. I have not checked it out completly. I can be reached at (570) 825-7789 between 6 and 8pm Eastern standard time ONLY for anyone who would like to set up an appointment to see it or needs additional information. Please ask for Herb. Thank You for looking. Have a Great Day.

Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
