1958 58 Lincoln Continental Mark Iii Convertible Not A Cadillac on 2040-cars
Beloit, Wisconsin, United States
I have owned this California Nevada rust free car since 1988, has old Nevada title, always dry storage. All the work done in the pictures is four years old or less, all the upholstery and all the restoration parts such as weatherstrip were purchased within the last four years also, Everything is fresh! The car is complete with lots of extra parts included, it is missing the hood ornament, a two hundred dollar replacement, plater lost it. I'm selling this car because I need the funds to finish other cars also nearing completion. Obviously this car is selling at a loss, basically you would be paying for the work done as seen in the photos, the car itself and all the parts I bought new and used would be free. The asking price is about fifty cents on the dollar.
The car comes with. New base coat clear coat bare metal respray. New rebuilt .30 over engine, rebuilt trans, new motor and trans mounts, recored radiator, new glass (not windshield and back glass, both are good). New weatherstrip, new leather upholstery with completely redone and cleaned seat frames and springs, all new interior vinyl panels ready to install. New black convertible top and pads (not installed), new carpet and padding, new trunk lining kit, new sill plates. All new suspension (installed) including, ball joints and tie rods, new coil springs front and rear, all new bushings front and rear. All new brake parts (not installed) including, shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, hoses, rebuilt booster and master, all drums original and in excellent condition. All the stainless was polished and repaired as needed, included is NOS rocker stainless trim in nos wrap (not on car). 99% of the chrome has been replated, a few parts were lost and I bought replacements, these are the trim pieces that mount to the trunk lid. These good parts need plating. Convertible frame and rear window assembly are installed in car. More Installed new parts include, all new hydraulics for the top, pump, hoses and lift cylinders. All new window motors. Also included are four beautiful restored Continental hub caps(look new), standard Continental caps as seen in period advertising. Besides the obvious assembly .Things that need to be done. Recover dash soft trim, restore steering wheel, paint and install dash (includes new gauge cluster lens), refurbish rust free gas tank. rebuild starter motor and generator or just clean and use. Rebuild carburetor, power antenna needs rebuild, includes two very good grills, one a little better than the other, it needs to be polished . All the removed parts are in marked boxes and bags. I'm a pretty organised guy so there shouldn't be any significant problems with missing parts. Overall I think I covered it, but it's hard to remember everything. Have a question just ask, need more pictures, no problem. I would estimate that a serious experienced car guy could have this car done this summer. Good flip for the right person. I would encourage serious buyers to come and see the car before you buy it. I will consider CLOSE offers, but please, don't waste my time with low balls, I will not respond. $2000 dollar cashiers check deposit, wire transfer the balance before car is released. This 58 Continental is sold as is, where is. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges. email me at atrip3@yahoo.com |

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Ford applies to trademark term 'Lincoln eGlide'
Thu, Apr 30 2020There's an epilogue to Ford's recent announcement that it's giving up on a battery-electric Lincoln co-developed with Rivian. The MachEClub forum discovered that just a week ago, Ford applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the term "Lincoln eGlide." The goods and services category details use for "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, electric vehicles and structural parts and fittings; electric vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and structural parts and fittings." Living in an age where a small "e" is shorthand for "electric," and Ford having specified electric vehicles in the patent, the go-to guess is that this is for an electric vehicle. The inclusion of non-electric motor vehicles injects a little fuzziness. Tesla's trademark on the Model S specifies "electric automobiles" only, whereas Rivian's trademark for the R1T seeks coverage for "land vehicles" and just about every part found in or on a land vehicle. Since Ford must have known about the end of the Rivian effort when it applied for the trademark, we suppose Lincoln has got some kind of eGlide coming no matter what. Lincoln refers to the theme of its latest cabin designs, as in the Aviator and Corsair, "Quiet Flight," and the road-scanning adaptive suspension on the Lincoln Aviator is called "Air Glide," neither term being trademarked. This leads our suspicions to eGlide becoming a vehicle component that could potentially serve a model with any powertrain, not necessarily battery-electric only, and eGlide won't be the name of the Lincoln EV that Ford says is still on the way. Another clue is that Ford included the word "Lincoln" in the term. Trademarked vehicle names such as Aviator and Corsair don't include the make, but services for vehicles do, such as the trademarks for Lincoln Connect and Lincoln Co-Pilot 360. We'll admit that a little bit of hope informs this line of thinking as well. Ford having done Lincoln the fabulous service of giving Lincolns terrific names, we'd be aghast if the Corsair and Navigator had to share showroom space with an eGlide. We've no choice but to wait for a retail product to provide answers. In the meantime, if we could just get to the bottom of this "Fastor Charge" trademark, and what's this bit about "Vandemonium?"

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
