I am selling the car because I found another car part way through repairing this one. My sister had wanted to ride in this one to her wedding and when I could not get this one done, I did the crazy thing and bought the other one to surprise her. Now I have two cars! I now need to sell this car.
This is the Entourage Car. This is the Kennedy car. I get it all the time in my red car. Its a blast to drive and makes people of all ages smile and wave. If you ever wanted a fun classic car to cruise around in, the Lincoln Continental Convertible is it! I would love to see this car back on the road but I cannot afford two cars. These cars are very sought after and as the numbers dwindle, they quickly becoming very rare. The Continental community is a close one and there are some specialists keeping them alive. The car needs someone to finish her. I have taken care of the difficult (and costly) part getting the top to work with the help of a specialist and now all it needs is for someone to finish off the interior, paint and body. These things can be done by most any interior and/or paint shop and any other mechanical parts are available at both AutoZone and Napa. These cars, other than the top, are simple to work on.

The images are of my 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. I bought it from a guy in Arizona to restore to a fun driver. I wanted a car that had not been previously attempted to restore so that I would not need to go behind someone else's work. I wanted a original and dry car so I found this one out west. The car is loaded with options. The passenger seat has an adjustable headrest. The car came with AC and cruise control options. It also has the automatic headlight dimmer. The front quarter windows are also powered and working. These are rare options on these cars.
The engine starts and runs fine. I have replaced the original water pump, plugs and wires.
I stripped the original paint off the car and had it sprayed in a sealer primer while I performed the mechanical work on it.
I got the car and the top was not working. It was folded up in the trunk for the last 20 years. John Cashman is THE expert in these cars and the top specialist. He came by and went through all the mechanics of the top. We installed all new rear cylinders and cylinder lines, all the window switches, the pivot arm on the boot lid and cleaned and greased every motor and track. I also had him install a bootlid turbo motor so that the trunk lid cover goes up much faster. He got everything on the top and windows working as it should be. He even adjusted the rear windows so that they drop 6 inches when the rear doors are opened (Not many people even know that these cars are supposed to do this because it does not work on most cars). The mechanics of the top are in working order. The top is original and has shrunk and become brittle with age. Here is a video so that you can see it all working:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9iKS-gGoqQ
I also had him replace the cigarette lighters in each door, the key surround bezels, new glove box liner, newer Continental emblems on the rear quarters, new 66 chrome rear view mirror, glove box liner, new matching door panels scres and cruise control illumination button. I also got a new hood emblem.
The car was hit in the back and the trunk lid was replaced by the previous owner. When I got the car here, I had the body shop pull the car to straighten it to specs. The passenger side rear quarter panel has a slight outward bow to it and needs to be pushed back in to make a straight side to make it perfect or can be straightened to make it drivable, depends on how perfect you want it to be.
Thank you for taking the time to look and let me know if you are interested.

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.

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
