1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible Thank you for looking. This car is complete and unmodified, except for paint, with a clear title and 82,215 actual miles. Originally Dark Metallic Green, has since been painted Black. Included are the owners manual, 1 set of original keys, and 1 set of NOS key blanks. We purchased the car in May 1990 from someone in Ohio, and it had 70600 miles on the odometer. It has been a California car ever since, but being from Ohio, there is rust in the body, and Bondo filler too, although the previous owner told us there wasn't any rust. Contact me if you would like closer up pictures than what is here in the listing. So it will need paint and body work to be a show quality car, but not necessary to be driveable. To my knowledge, there are no rust holes in any of the floor pans either. We drove the car until 1993, and it has sat, covered, since then. It was parked because of needing a new Master Cylinder, and all the transmission seals need replacing too. Never found the time to work on the car, so it just sat. Now it is time to let it move on to someone who can put the time and care into it. The 462 engine starts easily and runs smooth. There is a small crack in the right side exhaust manifold. The gas in the tank is over 20 years old, so the gas tank will probably need cleaning. To start it every once in a while, I run a fuel line from the fuel pump to a gas can to use fresh gas. The transmission shifts smoothly too, but as mentioned above, needs all the seals and gaskets replaced. It runs good, but is not driveable as is. Twenty some years ago, all windows and window switches worked, except the rear door windows don't drop automatically when the rear doors are opened. Probably needs new relays. The trunk lid still works, and the top worked with only 1 relay bypass to get it to unlock. I have not tried the top since then due to the age of the material. Everything else worked at the time too, except the A/C compressor, which seems to be seized up. The top was torn in a wind storm since the pictures were taken, and has been taped up, no rain entered the interior. The framework for the top is in good condition. All weatherstripping needs replacing. The interior is basically in good shape. No holes in the seats, door panels or carpet, and all trim pieces are there. There is a small crack along the speaker grille in the dash pad, and the drivers side arm rest housing is cracked, so it hangs a bit off center. There is pitting in the dash panel chrome, and some of the other interior chrome. The clock still worked (20 years ago), as did the AM/FM Town & Country radio. All the glass is in good shape too, no cracks. All dash, warning, interior and exterior lights work. All exterior chrome trim pieces and emblems are there. The bumpers and door handles could use rechroming, but are in good shape otherwise. The right side windshield chrome trim is damaged, and a replacement trim piece is included. The front fender quarter panel peak crown trim pieces have screws holding them on in front. I am also including 2 replacement crown trim pieces. The front grille and headlight bezels are undamaged, as are the rear tail lights. A new exhaust system (pipes and mufflers) was put on in 1990, as were new Michelin radial tires, brake pads, shoes and wheel cylinders, shocks and tie rods. The carburator was also replaced then, belts and hoses, and the water pump was too. There is lots of tread left on the tires, but they are almost 24 years old, so would recommend only using the tires to transport the car. |

Lincoln taps Serena Williams to pitch all-new Navigator
Fri, Feb 16 2018Lincoln is turning to a new star to help it pitch the hot-selling Navigator SUV alongside Matthew McConaughey: Tennis megastar and businesswoman Serena Williams. She'll help pitch the Navigator in a social media campaign that launched Thursday. Lincoln released four short spots that will appear on Lincoln and Williams' social channels. In one, the longest at 41 seconds, Williams recalls buying her first Navigator as a teen and says she's come full circle as a mother. She dubbed the vehicle "Ginger." "Ginger was all white, she had 22s and she had rims," she says in the spot. "I felt like, you know, I was kind of balling in a way. It was like my first huge purchase." Another shows Williams talking on a tennis court about being a mother and how the vehicle functions as a kind of bedroom for her daughter, Olympia, who was born last September. "For me that's what's most important." Like the McConaughey spots before them, the new spots hew to the Lincoln script of mostly not focusing on the vehicle but rather on experiences. (Williams' experiences seem a lot less ethereal than McConaughey's.) View 4 Photos Williams is known for her tennis exploits, having won a record 23 Grand Slam singles titles and four Olympic gold medals. She has fashion deals with Puma and Home Shopping Network and launched her own fashion brand called Aneres. And she operates the Serena Williams Fund to emphasize education and help victims of gun and domestic violence, plus the Williams Sisters Fund, which she launched in 2016 with her sister, Venus. Serena Williams is also a member of the Oath Board of Advisors. Oath is the parent company of Autoblog. "Serena is an amazing athlete who has won 23 Grand Slams, but she also has a family, she has her own clothing line, she sits on major boards, she's philanthropic — she has all these competing demands on her time," Lincoln Group Marketing Manager John Emmert said in a statement. "We know that time is our Navigator client's ultimate luxury as they balance everything in their busy lives, and Serena exemplifies that balance with poise and grace." It's not the first time Williams has endorsed an automotive brand, notes AdAge. Mini featured the tennis star in a Super Bowl ad in 2016. The Navigator is all-new for 2018. It won North American Truck of the Year last month at the Detroit Auto Show. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
