1947 Lincoln Continental V12 Cabriolet Convertible Original Condition No Reserve on 2040-cars
Roseville, California, United States
|
Excellent unrestored, but well maintained 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible. Licensed and registered in California. Odometer says 58,000 miles but the gauges are not working, so this is an estimate only. The motor runs well. Clutch & transmission shift well. Brakes were rebuilt a few years ago and stop the car well.6-volt system. New stainless steel exhaust muffler & installed this year. Runs very quiet. Top is in average condition, the hydraulic system needs repair. Some minor rust in the floor, but easily repairable. Tires are good. Altogether a very nice original example of the last true American Classic. Car is sold AS IS. Remember, its a 66 year old car. I also have an excellent rechromed front grill that will be sold separately. Also an Edmunds polished dual carb manifold with 2 rebuilt carbs that will also be sold separately. |

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

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.
