1957 Lincoln Mark Ii Base 6.0l on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
For sale is this extremely rare 1957 Lincoln Mark II. This car runs and drives like new and starts right up with no trouble! This car has the original classic two tone paint job of aqua with a white top. The interior boasts all white seats. Overall, this car in exceptional condition. Cosmetically it needs a little TLC but runs and drives like it's fresh off the factory floor. It starts right up, accelerates and breaks with ease, and has zero problems turning. The driver's door does not seem to catch correctly when closed but does stay closed; just has a little gap. There is barely any rust on the car though there are some bubbles in some areas. No bodywork has been done that is known of. The vast majority of the paint is pretty nice, but needs repainting to be show quality. Looks impressive going down the street and even up close is stunning. There are various nicks and scratches if you look close up. The chrome and stainless are in nice driver-quality shape, the exhaust still exits out the rear bumper ends and these rear bumper ends are in very solid shape. The gas filler mechanism works well. Nice grill. Hood opens and shuts easily though the trunk has some trouble opening. Nice seats and door panels. Dash is in good shape but just needs to be pulled tight at the edges. Clear gauges and the interior chrome is very good. Engine compartment is correct and looks very good. The car is 1 of 444 produced in 1957. A new '57 Mark II cost a whopping $10,000 and you could buy 2 Cadillacs and a Chevy for that amount. The car is loaded and has installed the only non-standard 'option' available at the time; the factory AC that is currently not hooked up. The car has the standard power steering, power brakes, power windows, power antenna, power seat, automatic trans, 368/300 HP V-8 Lincoln engine, real leather interior, tach, power door vent windows, courtesy lights, original and correct-rare-and very expensive turbine-type hubcaps. Clear title. Temp gauge shows as high due to heater valve being bypassed. Fuel-oil-and-amp guages, speedometer-odometer-and trip meter work. Turn signals and their corresponding dash indicators do not work. Engine runs cool and quiet. All glass is clear, dash guages are clear. Power antenna remains up. This is your opportunity to own a very rare example of American automotive history. I have priced this vehicle to provide you the best deal on a car of this caliber. Please be sure to ask any questions you may have and I can also provide you with any specific pictures or videos of the car that you'd like. Due to the extreme rarity of this car, prices will only continue to climb. Get it now before it's too late!

Coach Door Everything! This low-volume Lincoln Continental needs to inspire future Lincolns
Fri, Jan 15 2021One of the stranger vehicles that came through the press fleets last year was the 2020 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition. And it was strange for a wide array of reasons. It’s an extremely limited-production model; Lincoln only built 150 examples, plus another 80 of the 2019 80th Anniversary Edition that first featured the same rear-hinged doors. ItÂ’s also obsolete, since Lincoln ended production of the base Continental last year. And even if Lincoln kept building Continentals, the model was effectively obsolete in a world dominated by crossovers and SUVs. Plus, as weÂ’ll touch on in a bit, its driving dynamics were rather old-school for better and worse. But after spending some time with this odd car, it became clear that Lincoln managed to make something special, and the coach doors shouldnÂ’t die with the Continental. Before we dig deep into what the car is like and the lesson Lincoln should learn from it, hereÂ’s a quick refresher. The rear-hinged Continental started with the 2019 80th Anniversary Edition as a run of 80 cars, followed by the 2020 Coach Door Edition. To give it the fancy doors, as well as the extra length they required, Lincoln partnered with Cabot Coach Builders in Massachusetts. They took a Black Label model with the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, made the body modifications, and also added a few custom interior touches. Besides those changes, itÂ’s just like any other Continental Black Label. Well that, and it costs nearly $40,000 more. LincolnContinentalCoachDoors_03_HR View 36 Photos Since nothing really changes mechanically, thereÂ’s nothing about the Coach Door EditionÂ’s driving experience that sets it apart from a similarly equipped Black Label. The 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 pulls hard all through the rev band and with no waiting. ItÂ’s a bit coarse for a luxury car engine, but the performance makes up for it. The relatively old six-speed automatic is quite smooth, though shifts are slow. Ride and handling change quite a bit depending on whether youÂ’re in the normal comfort mode or sport mode. Comfort mode does a great impression of the floaty, bobbing land yachts of the past, which is accompanied by quite a bit of body roll. Pop it into sport mode, and the body roll is significantly reduced, the steering weights up, and control is massively improved. It almost feels nimble. But the ride becomes stiff and bumpy, not something befitting a mini limo. So itÂ’s a mixed bag.
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
Tue, 17 Jun 2014In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
