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. Let us know if you would like a shipping quote through our usual shipper.Every vehicle has it's own strengths and weaknesses. With that in mind all our vehicles are sold AS IS/WHERE IS with no warranty expressed or implied. Please request the additional pictures as they will show more details of the vehicle.

Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van
Wed, Jan 28 2015Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille
Thu, Jun 15 2017The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:
BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
