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

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
2017 Lincoln Continental spied inside and out
Thu, Jul 9 2015Lincoln certainly made us stand up and take notice when it unveiled the Continental concept at the New York Auto Show this past March. Showcars, however, are only worth so much if they never reach production. But as these latest spy shots indicate, Ford's luxury division is hard at work taking the new Conti from show floor to showroom. The team from Dearborn has clearly gone to great lengths to disguise this prototype, wrapping it in a new type of camouflage with trompe l'oeil bulbous-looking shapes to keep us from seeing just how close the production version will keep to (or how far it may stray from) the concept's design. Our spy photographers did, however, manage to snap some shots of the inside through the side glass, and though it's still evidently some ways off from reaching production, some key details give us an idea of what to expect. Look closely and you can make out the buttons for the transmission running down the side of the infotainment screen, just like on other new Lincolns. The chromework appears to have been toned down some from the blinged-out dashboard of the showcar, but it may be too early to say how much shine there will be to the production model. The overall design of the center console looks pretty darn close to the version we saw in New York, though. The Continental is expected to replace the MKS, as Lincoln moves away from alphabetical nomenclature back towards actual nameplates. Assembly is slated to be undertaken in Flat Rock, MI. There are a great many more details yet to be uncovered, but as far as early indications go, it looks like Lincoln is well on its way to making its concept a reality. Related Video:
Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
