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.

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
2018 Ford Expedition spied looking stylish
Tue, Sep 6 2016The Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator got a cool reception for their 2015 warmed-over redesign. But with big, high-riding vehicles once again in vogue, Ford is pushing ahead with a ground-up redesign of its biggest SUVs. Based on these spy shots, the Expedition will continue to serve as the Navigator's more affordable twin. Yes, that's a bold prediction, considering we still haven't spotted Lincoln testing the new Navigator, but study the greenhouses on this Expedition prototype and the Navigator Concept from New York – from the arrow-straight belt line to the extra-long rear window to the aggressively raked windshield, this Expedition's overall profile is broadly similar to what Lincoln previewed earlier this year. While our spies claim the new Expedition will look to the F-150 for design inspiration, we see a departure from past Expedition tradition. Unlike the supposed Expedition spy shots we showed you nearly a year ago – which was nothing more than an SUV with an F-150's nose grafted on, this prototype's front-end styling looks softer and more aerodynamic, with a smaller grille and headlights, almost like an Escape or Edge. This kind of change would explain the additional front-end camouflage. In back, our spies rightly point out that Ford fitted a faux rear end to disguise the rear window's rake – expect the real thing to feature the angled rear window previewed on the Navigator Concept. Look at the last image in the gallery for a better idea of how the Expedition's rear window will actually look. We can't say a lot about the taillights, because of the camo, but non-LED taillights are present. We'd expect Ford to offer LEDs on higher trim levels. While the F-150's styling might not make the transition to the Expedition, its powertrains and emphasis on lightweight aluminum will. Our spies report the biggest SUV will ride on a new T3 platform and feature an aluminum body, with the F-150's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Expect a ten-speed automatic transmission and start/stop tech for sure, while the smaller 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 could slot in as the Expedition's base engine – we're less sure on that one. And we're even more uncertain of the rumors of an Expedition Hybrid. Our spies report it could mate a 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor(s) and battery packs for a more economical full-size SUV. Expect to see the 2018 Expedition debut in January, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
Bentley designer calls Lincoln Continental concept a Flying Spur 'copy' [w/poll]
Tue, Mar 31 2015When you first laid eyes on the new Lincoln Continental concept, we'd wager you were likely impressed, because it's an impressive design. But if you also thought it looked familiar, you're in good company. According to Car Design News, design chief Luc Donckerwolke over at Bentley thinks the Lincoln concept bears more than a passing resemblance to another Continental: Bentley's own Flying Spur. "This behavior is not respectable. Building a copy like this is giving a bad name to the car design world," Donckerwolke told CDN, after posting some disparaging comments on Facebook and offering in jest to send over the tooling. "It is very disappointing, especially for an exclusive brand like Lincoln," added Sangyup Lee, his deputy for exterior design. The irony is further entrenched by the name, which Bentley only dropped from its Flying Spur in its latest iteration but still uses for the coupe and convertible models. Both automakers have a deeply routed history with the nameplate, but Lincoln's stretches back further, having first used the handle in 1939 before Bentley did in 1952. However it's not the nameplate that's the subject of controversy here, rather the design of the vehicle to which it's applied. So what do you think, did Lincoln borrow too heavily from its British counterpart? Related Video:
