1960 Lincoln Continental Limousine Very Rare 1of 34 Built, 1of 9 Known To Exist on 2040-cars
Fenton, Michigan, United States
Here we have a 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Executive Limousine, hand built by Hess and Eisenhart of Cincinnati, Ohio. The same company that built the infamous X-100 Lincoln that was transporting then president Kennedy on the day of his assassination. This is 1 of only 34 built and 1 of only 9 left in the world!!Because these cars were hand built, production was limited and costs were high. This particular Limo cost $10,230.00 when new, that's $4,000 more than the highest priced Lincoln available that year. They were possessions of the truly elite including the King of Rock Elvis Presley, President JFK and Frank Sinatra. Elvis's car recently sold for $556,500.All the limousines were highly optioned with power windows, power locks, electric headlight dimmer, power driver's seat, dual air conditioning and remote trunk release. Offered only with Black exteriors with a padded vinyl roof. They had leather interior in the driver's compartment and cloth in the passenger area.The mechanicals of this Lincoln have been gone through. The power brake booster and master cylinder are brand new, the fuel pump and filter are also recent. The complete exhaust is new including new manifold gaskets and mufflers. The starter and carburetor were just rebuilt and the vinyl top is newer. The wide white wall tires are newer and have lots of tread left.The body was resprayed in the original Black color a few years ago. The body is straight and the paint is shiny. All of glass is in good shape less some minor delamination. The engine compartment is clean and neat. The trunk is solid and retains the original spare tire and factory jack.The previous owner of 17 years was an avid car collector with many quality vehicles to his credit. This is a very rare and significant vehicle. With only 9 known to still exist, chances are that you will not see another one for many years to come.Please feel free to call Jon with any questions at 810-252-7308 anytime. I can answer all questions and also give a walk around description in real time. I have over 200 pictures available via email. Please send your email address through ebay messages and I will send them to you right away.In full disclosure, this is not a perfect car. The power windows need some work, the A/C is not hooked up, the body has a few small touchups and a couple small bubbles. Upon closer inspection, the bumpers and trim show age. All vehicles over 10 years old should be considered one of a kind and very subjective pieces of classic art.We welcome all questions, offers and inspections. Inspection companies are also welcome. The description is our opinion only, we can not guarantee the mileage of vehicles over 10 years old. We do not recommend driving a classic car home, out on the open road, miles from home, is not the place to get familiar with your new classic. We always recommend enclosed shipping.

Annie Leibovitz goes Continental for Lincoln campaign
Mon, Oct 10 2016Lincoln has a lot riding on the new Continental, and the company is now calling upon renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz to glam-up its new flagship. Her photos are part of a new series dubbed "That's Continental," which the automaker will use in high-end publications and on social media. Leibovitz's iconic photos have been used in magazines like Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, and she's photographed celebrities, politicians, literary icons, and landmark events. The new series for the Continental is Leibovitz's first attempt at car photography and it follows a road trip theme inspired by the trips she took with her father as a child. The photos for the campaign were shot in New York City with a group of non-professional models, including a musician, an artist, an actor, and a film director and his dog, Seven. "Annie Leibovitz is a photographer of substance," said Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra. "The rich, warm emotions her photos evoke, mirror the feelings we want our clients to experience on all of their journeys in the new Lincoln Continental." While we're still arguing over the Continental's looks, Leibovitz's pictures show the sedan at its best. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Lincoln reveals the posh and powerful 2018 Navigator
Wed, Apr 12 2017If you were a fan of the Navigator concept from last year's New York show, we've got good news. The production Navigator looks just like it. Sure there are subtle changes. The gullwing doors are gone, but no one should be surprised by that. A side effect is that it has conventional chrome door handles, too. The lower grille in the front bumper is a tad different, and the rear taillights are a bit thicker, but the overall look has stayed the same. That includes the tall, regal grille with a mesh consisting of Lincoln badge outlines, the side vents on the fenders, and those beautiful, intricate turbine wheels. On the top-of-the-line Black Label models, the Navigator gets an illuminated badge that lights up with the puddle lights when the driver approaches. View 15 Photos Since the Navigator is based on the Ford Expedition, it's unsurprising that they're very similar mechanically. The Navigator has aluminum construction, and it's propelled by a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 found in so many Ford products. However, the Navigator's engine makes an impressive 450 horsepower compared with the expected 375 horsepower from the Expedition. Those plush ponies goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Navigator stays true to the concept, and most important, shares essentially nothing with the plebeian Expedition. Like in the concept, the dashboard is low and wide and features plenty of wood and leather. The instrument panel is a configurable 12-inch display, and to its right is an upright, floating touch screen for infotainment. The buttons for shifting hang off the trailing edge of the dashboard, where a gap opens between it and the center console. The console houses the climate control buttons, and rises to meet the dash. Aside from the luxurious dash, occupants are treated to the Continental's 30-way adjustable front seats, which are heated and cooled. The interior should be whisper quiet as well, thanks to laminated front and side glass. This should allow passengers to better enjoy the available 20-speaker Revel II sound system even more. Plenty of gizmos and tech are at the fingertips of Navigator drivers, too. One of the more unique tidbits of technology are the adaptive headlights. At low speeds, the headlight beam is very wide to illuminate objects or pedestrians on the sides of the road. However, at high speeds, the beam narrows to reduce glare from street signs.
2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper
Wed, Nov 8 2017The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.
