1961 Kennedy Presidential Lincoln Limo ( Oliver Stone Jfk Film) on 2040-cars
Monroe, Michigan, United States
This 1961 Lincoln duplicate was constructed in the mid 1980's from a private builder. The builder was provided the original research and blueprints from the Hess Motor Coach Company the original builder of President John F. Kennedy's car. This car is near perfect and was said to be the match to the original by the late Bill Hess who built Kennedy's car. I acquired the "JFK LIMO" over 32 years ago. This car is the most recognizable car int he world! Over the last 20 years the JFK Limo has had a long history in itself.
In 1990 Oliver Stone and Warner Bros. rented the JFK Limo for the film, "JFK". Thru the years JFK Limo did many Hollywood films such as: "Ruby" a Sony Picture, "A Woman Named Jackie" NBC TV, "JFK Inside the Target Car" Discovery, "JFK The Lost Bullet" National Geographic, " Behind The Headlights" Speed TV, " The Watchman", Warner Bros. The JFK limo has been used in many parades and the guest list runs from the Prime Minister of defense of Ireland to the cast of Miami Vice. Over the years this car has been on tour in the private collection called The JFK Experience. From state fairs, home and garden shows to major casinos the JFK limo is the star attraction from all age groups! The car has the ability to make additional financial income when placed in the proper setting and venue. Feel free to contact me for any questions. Please, serious buyers only with financial ability to bid. A great car and a one of a kind that will ever be built. To make this car today would be very expensive and the plans are not available to bring the the authenticity of this car. The original Kennedy Limo was built in 1961 for $200,000.00 dollars. There was no amour plating, no bullet proof tires or other added specialties other then the full custom Presidential Limo details as in this car. The secret service handles, the parade rail and all other special features are from the same blueprints as the original. Truly a car to have in your collection. |

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.

Ford recalls more than 550,000 trucks and SUVs for various safety issues
Wed, Aug 12 2020Ford announced safety recalls for its current F-150 pickup along with several Ford and Lincoln crossovers early Wednesday. The recalls cover more than 550,000 vehicles and address various safety defects, ranging from a fire hazard to potential loss of braking power. The most far-reaching of the recalls covers approximately 550,000 examples of the 2015-2018 Ford Edge and 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, which may have been assembled with defective front brake jounce hoses (also commonly referred to as "flex lines"). These hoses run from fixed points on the chassis to the individual front brake calipers. Defective hoses could potentially rupture, allowing brake fluid to leak and resulting in a loss of braking function. Ford will replace the components in question with revised parts. The next-largest recall is for roughly 3,000 2020 Lincoln Corsair crossovers. The affected models may have been assembled without proper clearance between their rear suspension springs and toe link brackets. The components could potentially make contact, wearing down the protective coating on the rear coil springs, allowing corrosion to occur over time. This corrosion could eventually lead to a failure of the spring. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a sudden change to the vehicle's handling characteristics, and the spring fragments could potentially cause further damage to the car or surrounding traffic. Ford says owners will be notified that their Corsairs need to be inspected; if there is not adequate clearance between the rear suspension components, Ford's service technicians will remove material from the toe link bracket to allow for operation without contact. The final (and by far the smallest) recall is for the 2020 F-150. Some units may have left the factory with the incorrect retention nut on the hot lead to the starter motor. Ford says it can cause increased heat generation or electrical arcing, which could potentially result in a fire. Ford says this issue is limited to just a few hundred examples sold in the United States. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the nut if necessary.
