Thank you for looking at our 1956 Lincoln Mark 11 I purchased this car 3 years ago from a gentleman who got it from
a family friend that passed away. When I went to purchase this car I met my mechanic, who works on all my old cars,
to inspect it with me. I was most concerned about the frame, because these cars are known for having bad frames. He
looked underneath it and told me it needed a little bit of work on the front frame but the rest of the frame was
fine. He put the car in his car carrier and said it would be ready in 3 to 4 weeks. Two months later, I called him
and asked "Where's my car?". He said that when he was underneath the Lincoln there were also some rust spots on the
main frame and he already tore it apart as a process of fixing it. I was not happy. He dragged his feet for 2 and a
half years to finish the car. Finally, he called me and told me it was done and I could pick it up the next day. At
that point, he had replaced the whole main frame (both sides), and fixed the front frames on both sides where they
went bad. And with all the work done correctly it was probably better than new. He also ran all new brake lines and
gas lines and replaced wheel cylinders, springs and other parts in the brakes. He also replaced the fuel pump,
tuned it up and rebuilt the carburetor.
This is what was damaged on the car:
-Passenger's side paint peeled off
-Needs a front window and 3 side windows
-Will probably need some new rubber in the door
Outside of that, it's good.
I'd also like to mention that all the chrome and all the aluminum is fine and there is no warpage in any door or
fender. When this thing blew up the mechanic ran outside and pulled the car out with a chain with his truck so
there was not that much damage actually done. I also would like to mention 3 years ago a new gas tank was put on
and 4 new tires that have less than 100 miles on them and within the last 2 months, I rebuilt the starter, put in a
new battery, and replaced the oil ring for the filter. I also would like to mention that I have the original radio
that goes with the car and the owners manual. You can get in this car now, start it up and drive it down the road.
It shifts correctly, the brakes are good, and there's not one rattle in the car. This car will need a total paint
job to bring it back to where it should be and also will need new carpeting and interior because the carpet is not
good.
The 57,000 miles are actual, it's an all matching numbers car, the title is clean as it shows in the slideshow and
it has the rare factory air conditioning option. Both front and rear bumpers are still in very very clean condition
for being 60 years old. We hope that someone will purchase this car from us that will restore it and take it to the
next level because these 56 Lincoln Mark 2s were in very limited production, and the ones that are still left
around should be restored for generations in the future to enjoy.

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest
Thu, Feb 27 2014Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
