This car belonged to my Father who I bought it new in 1965. It was always garage kept its entire life and only driven in good weather to parades and special events and occasionally on Sundays.It has 59,231 origional miles on it. It was in perfect running condition when last used in 1982 which was the last time it was inspected in Pennsylvania. He was the only one to drive it and he always babied it. He had the repair manual and always maintained it properly. As far as I remember only the mufflers were replaced at Midas at one time with a Life Time Guarantee. The only thing I did when I removed it from his garage was to clean it off, change the oil and filter. The gas tank had to be cleaned out completly from sitting so long and to get it to run properly. I cleaned the carburator and plugs. The car runs and drives properly now. It has an automatic transmission. 430 V8 engine with air conditioning, clock, 6 way power seats, power steering (steers with one finger) Power brakes, Power windows and vent windows.Padded instrument panel with NO cracks or tears. Remote mirror, Origional Radio and retractable power antenna. The tires are bias from the 80s and need replacing but still stay up. There is NO rot anywhere on the car and it is solid. It has NEVER been in an accident. The chrome is very good and not pitted. There are only several small dents and one in the left rear bumperette. The top is extremely good and has no tears or discoloration. The Leather Seats are in excellent condition and are Not cracked or dried out. I have NOT attempted to drive it very much but the grounds and seals would have to be checked as expected from a car that has sit that long in storage. I do know everything worked when it was origionally parked. This would be a Great car to Restore or use everyday with a good going over. He also had the exact same 1965 LIndoln Continental Hard Top that he had the rocker panels welded in (NO bondo didnt beleive in it) and repainted a sort or cream color. He planned to have the convertible repainted to match and use in weddings for the bride and the hard top for the family. I intend to list the hard top as soon as I can get it running. It was storred in the same garage with the convertible. I have not checked it out completly. I can be reached at (570) 825-7789 between 6 and 8pm Eastern standard time ONLY for anyone who would like to set up an appointment to see it or needs additional information. Please ask for Herb. Thank You for looking. Have a Great Day.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing
Wed, 20 Mar 2013As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
