1961 Lincoln Continental, Suicide Doors, 61, Lincoln, Classic, White. on 2040-cars

Here's all original 61 Lincoln Continental. The car runs and drives great, but it is a project and will need work.
Problem area's: The car does have rust in the typical locations on these cars, lower doglegs, underneath chrome trim, random spots, and on the trunk lid. Underbody is solid though. The interior needs to be reupholstered , mainly the dash, back seats, headliner and carpeting and lower edge of the door carpeting. There's chrome pitting, and the front lip above the grill needs to be repaired as somebody before me must of bondoed it thats why you cracking there in the pictures. There's a few dents here and there, but nothing serious, some scratches on the chrome trim, grill and bumpers, and small dents on the stainless mouldings. Power Door locks don't work because of a vacuum leak somewhere. Radio, HVAC does not work, I have the A/C compressor, hoses and the condenser is in storage. There's a lot of steering play, so the steering linkage will need to be rebuilt, including some suspension work. 2 of the power windows do work, the driver side and right rear passenger side. There's an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold, and some engine blowby, oil leaks, but the car runs strong and idles smooth. Horns don't work, possibly a wiring issue, but I have them in storage as well. Tires are old. The Positives Carb was rebuilt several years ago, new upper control arm bushings, new front and rear shocks, new front brake shoe's and wheel cylinders. Cap and Rotor is good. Electronic ignition ( no points), good starter motor. The car originally came with a generator but was converted to an Alternator. Serviced transmission. The car brakes strong. I installed Cherry Bomb Glasspacks so the car has a nice throaty growl to it. I also have extra spare parts I'll pitch in. ( radiator expansion tanks, exterior quarter panel Continental script, window switches, original window washer bag with the Continental logo, Continental Script that glues onto the glove box, brand new U-Joint, and original owners manual). The Lincoln runs well, it does smell like fumes however because of the blowby, but everything is there and the car is in decent shape considering the flaws. |

Matthew McConaughey Lincoln pitches drive on with new MKZ ads
Mon, Dec 29 2014You didn't think a few spoofs were going to break up Lincoln and pitch-man Matthew McConaughey, did you? With more than three million extra free views of Lincoln products on YouTube because of the send-ups – and no one is making fun of the car, remember – the brand rightly concludes, "We couldn't ask for better." That's why the pair are back, this time working on behalf of the MKZ and MKZ Hybrid. The two commercials "Balance" and "Diner" are new, but the formula is the same - cinematic, contemplative, channeling more than a bit of True Detective. They'll hit broadcast channels during college bowl games on New Year's Day. You can watch "Balance" above and "Diner" below, and the press release further down has more details.

Matthew McConaughey Gets Behind Wheel of 2015 Lincoln MKZ in New Ads Airing Jan. 1 - The Lincoln Motor Company teams up again with Academy Award™ winner Matthew McConaughey to create Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid ad campaign that will begin airing during high-profile New Year's Day college football bowl games - Two new TV and online ads will promote Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid midsize sedans, which have given a new direction to the brand with their introduction two years ago - Lincoln's previous collaboration with McConaughey, the "Live in Your Moment" campaign, fueled early sales success of 2015 Lincoln MKC small premium utility DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 29, 2014 – In the bright spotlight of New Year's Day college football bowl games, The Lincoln Motor Company will launch its newest ad campaign promoting the 2015 Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and featuring Matthew McConaughey. Filmed in a style and tone consistent with last summer's much-talked-about "Live in Your Moment" ads for the first-ever Lincoln MKC, the new campaign brings the attention back to the premium midsize sedan that has been Lincoln's best-selling vehicle since arriving in showrooms two years ago. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," said Andrew Frick, Group Marketing Manager Lincoln. "Matthew's natural storytelling ability perfectly complements the Lincoln story as we continue to raise awareness and drive conversation in creative and unexpected ways.

Ford investing $5B in Lincoln
Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
