This auction is for a 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible.This car was in the process of restoration a few years ago when the prior owner passed away. From what I understand the owners son bolted the body back down on the chassis and lightly bolted the nose ,doors ,chrome, etc back on. He then sold it to a good friend of mine that bought this car and another one . He had to buy the pair to get the car he wanted so this one is for sale. According to my friend 95% of the car is there . We didn't go through every box and containers so I am sure there are some small items missing. The car has 4 new 700/15 firestone deluxe champion tires. All chrome work has been replated with the exception of the wing tips on the front bumper. All convertible latches and chrome parts are redone. Chrome knobs for the dash are redone. Deck lid latches and locks are redone. Top bows look new. There is a new gas tank not installed. I believe the brakes have been done and the car rolls and stops fine. The seats were redone in naughayde and is not to the quality standards that came in the car. He does have some new carpet material also.We have some of the old door panel and side panel trim that needs redoing. We have theglass, window regulators, extra windshield, radiator,transmission with over drive unit, steering column, dash frame, gages,radio ,knobs, the rare stop mounted tail light that goes by the licence plate. and some stainless trim etc.There are other parts also that we did not go thru. NO MOTOR. The body on the car appears to be in above average condition. Only a few small rust perferations need addressing. I beleive they was are in the lower trunk corner. Everything else is nice and solid. Of course you would want to go over the body properly but you have something decent to work with. The frame was sand blasted and lightly primed . We will pack everything we have in the car for transportation.This is the perfect candidate if you want to convert that rusty car you have , or if you need all the chrome for yours. Maybe you have a coupe or sedan as a donor to finish this or maybe you just want to make a nice gentlemans street rod.The possibilities are endless.We were going to put the car in storage but we figured we would give it a shot on Ebay first.Sold on a notorized bill of sale.If you need a title in your state we will register the car and with that and our paper work you will receive a title. An additional fee of $150 will be charged for this service. If you need more info or pics feel free to call or email us at 207-324-5568 days or 207-432-2862 eves and sundays

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.
How Lincoln could make itself special again
Tue, May 9 2017Things are going better for the Lincoln brand — or, more properly, The Lincoln Motor Company — so far this year, and are likely to continue to do so, comparatively speaking. In the first quarter of 2017, the brand's sales are up 8.7 percent compared with the same period last year. Lincoln delivered 27,083 units in the first quarter. The Continental is certainly a boon, with 3,209 units (almost 12 percent of the total number), something Lincoln didn't have in the first quarter of 2016. Its crossovers, the MKC and MKX, were up 15 and 11.2 percent, respectively, and while the Navigator SUV was down 16.2 percent, the new 2018 model will certainly boost that nameplate. Still, there is undoubtedly a glass — or crystal — ceiling for Lincoln (as well as for Cadillac) that it's not likely to break through regarding total US sales. No matter how you look at it, the US luxury market is dominated by import brands, and there is no reason to think that's going to change. Ever. According to Autodata, for the first quarter of 2017 there were 213,817 luxury vehicles delivered, of which 170,780 were from import brands and 43,037 domestic. While there is a good likelihood that Lincoln will gain some ground, given the lineup extensions that the likes of Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Lexus are making, as well as the creation of new brands like Genesis and the traction of Tesla, it is going to be all the more challenging for any company to get any significant growth in the luxury category. So growth for Lincoln, yes. Notable growth? No. But there is something the company could do to generate revenue separate from the car and crossover business. It may not make a lot of money in and of itself, but it can provide a distinct edge in the product segment that would cement Lincoln with a unique offering. Kumar Galhorta, president of Lincoln, frequently talks about "experiences." About how the company is working to relieve or eliminate "pain points" from its customers. About how time — or the perceived lack thereof — is something Lincoln is working to address. And it's doing so in a way that gives it a distinctiveness vis-a-vis the competitive set. Lincoln's services are creating a buzz in a way that Matthew McConaughey ads never will. Lincoln is addressing it through service. As in offering pickup and delivery for service appointments for all new 2017 Lincoln models.
