1988 Lincoln Continental Signature Series odometer: 68000 VIN: 1LNBM9847JY872196

CLASSIC 1988 Lincoln Continental Signature Series
66,000 one owner miles.
Driven only 2,500 miles per year for 26 years by one elderly original owner. He drove it to work and then home again at night to be parked in his garage for 26 years. As the second owner, we are retired and have put only 2,000 highway miles on it bringing it to 68,000 currently. Not a spot of rust anywhere under or on this car. The car was kept in a garage since it was new and has never seen snow or salt. It runs and drives like it just came out of the factory and it has nearly every available option including a working clock and climate control with air ride suspension. It tells you actual mpg as you drive and average mpg as well as outside temperature and distance available to travel on what fuel is in the tank and lots of other things that all work perfectly. The plush leather electric seats are perfect. I doubt anyone has ever sat in the rear of this car. Passenger side mirror has a chip but it works side to side but not up and down, however, it is set perfectly. It has the ultra dependable 3.8 liter V-6 engine with front wheel drive. We just returned from a 1,500 mile trip to South Carolina. This Lincoln got over 26 MPG and it's like a dream on a trip or around town. New Pioneer CD radio. It has brand new tires all the way around and is full of synthetic oil and uses none. They just don't get any better than this and there are very few examples of this rare car on the road in America today. It's a true classic that will grow in value each and every year.  If you are into comfort and style, this is about the best you'll find for the money. It's worth a lot more than we're asking. It is on display at our notary public's office (B Enterprises) on Rt 563 just off of Rt 309 in Sellersville, PA 18960

Valued at near $9,000 we are only asking $3375

High-tech, remote-controlled Golden Sahara II custom car going for auction

Mon, Mar 19 2018

Imagine a vehicle with automatic braking, remote operation, self-opening doors and a big screen on the dash. You're probably imaging a Tesla Model X, but we're actually talking about a car called the Golden Sahara II, a custom car originally built in the 1950s, and it's going for auction at Mecum's event in Indianapolis. According to Mecum, this custom car started out as a 1953 Lincoln Capri owned by George Barris, the man who created the original Batmobile. He didn't have it long before it ended up in a crash that led him to use it for a major custom project. He teamed up James Skonzakes, known as Jim Street, to create and pay for the build. In 1954, the car was finished with wild body work, actual 24-karat gold-plated exterior trim and a pearlescent gold paint created from fish scales. It carried the name of Golden Sahara, and it cost $25,000 to build. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In 1956, Street decided to invest a whole lot more into the car. He sent it to a shop in Dayton, Ohio where it was fitted with a myriad of high-tech features. These included a central control stick that could operate the throttle, steering and braking, push-button steering controls on the dashboard for both the driver and the passenger, a remote control for moving it slowly and for opening the doors. It had sonar antennae at the front for automatic braking, a TV in the center stack, a radio, a phone, and even a cocktail cabinet in the back and mink carpeting. All of these features were on display when Street appeared with the car on the TV show I've Got a Secret, seen above, as well as in a period news story in which Street's wife demonstrated the features including the light-up wheels and tires for turn signals. That clip is visible below. The total cost of the car, now called Golden Sahara II, was $75,000. Adjusted for inflation, that's nearly $700,000. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Eventually, Street stopped showing the Golden Sahara II, but he never got rid of it. It was recently found in his garage, and the car will finally go for auction in May at Mecum's Indianapolis auction. The car will be sold in unrestored condition, which looks to be fairly rough, but savable. It appears the remotes are still there, too. The car will be auctioned with no reserve, so it will have a new owner.

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
