***1968 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL SEDAN SURVIVOR ONE FAMILY OWNED OVER 40 YEARS***
***RUNS DRIVES FINE --- BLACK PAINT BLACK VINYL TOP RED LEATHER***

This is a 1968 Lincoln Continental four door sedan that the owner asked me to list. The car was bought from a car dealer in 1969 or 1970 by his mother. She drove the car until 2008 when she passed away; then her son inherited it. The car has always been garaged until recently. The owner has lost storage so he has decided to sell this car. It has been repainted one time. The interior, trim, chrome, engine, etc is all original. The cosmetics have aged but are still presentable. Engine fires right up and runs fine. Everything works on the car except the AC which needs a charge. The radio antenna goes up when the radio is turned on and the gas gauge works. Car has the original floor mats and owner's manual. It has a couple of small dents and a little bit of rust starting on the rear quarters - look at the photos. This car is priced to sell. If you would like to look at the car, go for a ride or talk to the owner just email for his phone number.

Car is black with a black vinyl top and has red leather interior.

It still has the original hub caps on P235X75X15 tires.

It has the famous doors with the rear ones opening from the front.

It was garaged since purchased until recently. Floors are solid.

You may not be able to see them but there are ground straps under the car that have been there since it was purchased by the current owner's mother back in 69 or 70. At that time the car had 20K miles on it. The car dealer told them the car was owned by a railroad executive and the car had a phone with a large box in the trunk. The ground straps were needed for it.

She's a beauty - trunk opens and closes easily as does the hood.

Interior is the original red leather.

Ford extends shutdown, Stellantis confirms layoffs due to chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

Ford and Stellantis this week announced new production cuts due to the global semiconductor shortage, with popular models including the Ford F-150 and Jeep Grand Cherokee facing cuts. Stellantis plans to temporarily lay off workers at one facility as production is curtailed.Â According to Automotive News, Ford is extending shutdowns at some of its North American facilities into May. The Blue Oval has been forced to reduce or idle production of both its redesigned F-150 pickup and the popular Explorer due to the chip shortage. The Mustang, Transit, Edge, Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator will also continue to be affected. Stellantis is planning to temporarily lay off workers at a Jeep plant in Detroit during April and May due to a shortage of semiconductor chips. The companyÂ will cut two work crews at its Jefferson North plant in Detroit for three weeks starting April 26, then call them back and lay off a third crew from May 17 through the week of May 31, according to a schedule obtained by Bloomberg News. The plant on Detroit’s east side normally operates two shifts with three work crews six days a week to keep it running 20 hours a day. Â“Stellantis continues to work closely with our suppliers to mitigate the manufacturing impacts caused by the various supply chain issues facing our industry,Â” company spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement. Â“Due to the unprecedented global microchip shortage, Jefferson North will adjust its production schedule through the end of May.Â” Jefferson North employs about 4,800 hourly workers and makes the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the top-selling Jeep model last year, and the Dodge Durango SUV. A redesigned version of the Grand Cherokee is scheduled to start production in August, according to researcher AutoForecast Solutions. This article contains reporting from Bloomberg.

Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners

Fri, Dec 2 2016

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:

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.
