1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible-totally Original -one Owner Since 1970 on 2040-cars
United States
|
A True Classic 1966 Lincoln Convertible with the Infamous Suicide Doors. Royal Maroon is the color and this car has never been repainted. This Convertible has only 84,929 miles and has been owned by One Owner since 1970. In addition, it has been stored in doors since that time. The motor turns over and starts right up when it was recently started on a temporary fuel cell. The main fuel tank should be cleaned or replaced. The Interior is original and is in very good to excellent condition for being original. The Dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or fading. The Convertible top works and goes up and down smoothly. The top is water tight and may be used as is and it is not necessary to replace. The radio works well and the antenna operates smoothly. The Clock works as well. The lights work along with the turn signals and back up lights. However it will need a few bulbs(one headlight bulb is burned out along with the passenger side front turn signal). The only negative thing about the car is the rust behind the rear wheels and behind the front left fender and a few other spots. The floors and trunk are solid.The glass is all good with no cracks. The power seat works well. The tires and brakes will need to be replaced although they will work enough to move the car. The car should be given a thorough cleaning and would probably look a lot better as it is in the same condition since coming out of storage. This car also has the rare factory ski/luggage rack.
Overall the car is in pretty nice shape and with some TLC it will be an awesome car. This is an excellent opportunity to own a desirable 1966 suicide door convert! In addition, it has a very reasonable reserve. Whoever buys this vehicle will be able to put a few dollars into the body and restore it to desired condition. All potential buyers are more than welcome to come and inspect vehicle before the auction closes. Please ask any and all questions. Happy bidding! |

Lincoln putting perfume on its sales
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Lincoln has a scent. But unlike those from Mustang, Lamborghini or even Shark by Tara, you can't buy it and you have to visit a Lincoln dealership to inhale its notes of jasmine hedione, mate tea leaves and tonka beans. Essence of Lincoln - that's what it's called - is being piped through the ventilation systems at some showrooms to help "create an emotional connection between the luxury brand and its customers," and olfactorily promote the idea of "luxury and warmth." Where it's not run through the ducts, visitors can sample it on scent cards.
Master perfumer Rene Morgenthaler worked with aroma house SensoryMax to design Essence of Lincoln. Also including traces of Earl Grey bergamot and green tea, whenever you encounter it you're meant to enjoy "a feeling of belonging to an exclusive, forward-thinking group that values style and success." And then buy an MKC. There's a press release below with details and an image to explain more, if you're still having a little trouble smelling the orange blossoms.
Lincoln Navigator is the people's choice for best of Detroit Auto Show
Wed, Jan 24 2018At a big auto show, you hear a lot of from automotive journalists about the outstanding cars on display — for example, Autoblog's own editors' choices from the Detroit Auto Show. But the Detroit News does something neat instead. It asks the public to vote in its annual Readers' Choice Awards. And coming out on top was the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. The newspaper collars 100 attendees at the North American International Auto Show and asks them to vote. This year, the public's pick as Best of Show coincided with the North American Car of the Year voters, journalists who picked the Navigator as the Truck of the Year. (We at Autoblog were wowed by the Navigator, too, but our editors' choices were limited to vehicles that were revealed at the show — the Navigator has been out long enough, that we've actually driven and reviewed it.) The Navigator on display at the show has the ultra-plush Black Label interior. It's a $95,000 rig. No surprise then that hit was also the public's choice in the category of Best Road-Trip Ride. The public's other choices: Best Dream Machine — Ford GT. Best Family Fun Finder — Chrysler Pacifica. Baddest Off-Road Vehicle — Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Coolest Technology — BMW i8 Roadster. Most for Your Money — Kia Stinger. (Commenters on our recent Drivers' Notes review said the Stinger was a media darling the public won't buy, but these voters, at least, liked it.) Best Future Concept — Infiniti Q Inspiration. Most Eco-Friendly — Smart Fortwo. Most Amazing Mobility — Toyota Concept i-Walk. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
