***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.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

2020 Lincoln Corsair revealed with baby Aviator looks

Wed, Apr 17 2019

NEW YORK — Since Ford has unveiled the new Escape, it only makes sense that Lincoln would reveal its redesigned Escape-based luxury crossover, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair. The new crossover takes the place of the also-Escape-based MKC. Design-wise, the only real giveaway that the Corsair is built off the Escape's front-drive platform is the short stretch between the base of the A-pillars and the front wheels. Otherwise, the Corsair simply looks like a scaled-down Aviator. While not particularly groundbreaking, it's far from a bad choice, as it looks both broad-shouldered and sleek with a big front fascia and gently falling roofline. Even better, the interior clearly takes cues from the bigger Lincoln crossovers and SUVs with a horizontal layout, lots of chrome, and a bit of a midcentury modern feel. The Corsair does get unique touches such as a full-width air vent design, and a center stack that juts out unsupported from the dashboard. It's the inverse of the Aviator and Navigator control stacks. Lincoln's 24-way power adjustable front seats will be available as an option, while manual sliding and reclining rear seats are standard. Lincoln also touts sound-deadening features such as a dual-wall firewall panel and active noise canceling as standard features. Owners will also be able to use their cellphones as keys to access the car and to control functions from afar, storing settings for the infotainment, seats and climate control among other things. A key fob still comes with the car, and if a phone goes dead, the car can still be accessed and started using both the outside keypad and the infotainment touchscreen. Phones can be deactivated remotely, too, in case of it being stolen or lost. With Escape underpinnings come powertrains similar to that crossover. But the Corsair starts its line with the Escape's top-rung engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four making 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. It comes with front-wheel drive as standard, but all-wheel drive is available. According to the Corsair's lead engineer, John Jraiche, the all-wheel-drive system can shift 100% of power to the front or rear. It also disengages the rear wheels when not needed for improved efficiency. The other engine announced is a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four making 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine isn't available on the Escape, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
