*no Reserve* 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
For sale is an all original, numbers matching 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This car is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes all responsibilities. This car was purchased by me on leave from my second tour back in 2005 and has been garage kept since then and to my knowledge, prior to and it's entire life. Due to a new baby in our life I have finally decided to part with this gift to myself for making it out of Iraq.
The car was restored prior to my purchase and has roughly ten thousand dollars invested into it, which, to my understanding, largely went to the operation of the convertible mechanism. All parts of that mechanism work perfectly, and I am happy to include upon request, a recent video of the top in complete operation so you can verify this before you make any bids. There are a few minor imperfections throughout on the paint and a tiny piece of the front right trim is missing up near the bumper, and that is visible in the picture of that angle. The car had a custom sound system that has since been professionally removed with no impact on the condition of the interior. The AC system needs to be recharged to blow cold air. These imperfections aside, this car, as clearly visible in the included pictures is immaculate and a real head turner. With a little bit of attention to detail it could be a trophy-winning, 100 point show car. Recent work on the car includes professionally installed, new or rebuilt parts in the top hydraulic mechanism, switches, and relays as well. The power options on the car all work to include the rear windows that go down slightly upon entering to allow clearance with the top. The doors all line up correctly to new clackers and the body is devoid of rust. Minor surface patina exists in a few small places underneath. The vehicle was recently inspected by Travis' Auto in Suffolk, VA and had a new heater core installed to help with the engine cooling. The tires have good tread and less than 10k miles on them. These cars are iconic, with their "suicide doors" and yacht-like feel. It is a joy to drive, always gets thumbs ups, and would stand a chance in almost any car show you brought it to. I am happy to work with the winning buyer to get this car to its finally destination. Please send me any questions or requests for more information and I will answer them as quickly and completely as possible. Good luck! |

Lincoln hopes month-by-month leasing will woo luxury clients
Wed, Nov 29 2017Lincoln is launching a new subscription-based service that will allow customers to lease any of its vehicles on a month-by-month basis as part of a new suite of services aimed at offering flexibility and converting buyers. The luxury brand has also been operating a pilot program in which dealers bring Lincoln vehicles to consumers' homes for them to test drive on their own time — and sometimes even complete the entire sales process at their homes. Lincoln also announced on the heels of the L.A. Auto Show a new collaboration with Clear, a company that provides expedited screening at security gates at airports and sports arenas, plus an expansion of its Lincoln Personal Driver service, formerly known as Lincoln Chauffeur, to Dallas. Kumar Galhotra, Lincoln's president, said the company is trying to create a brand experience for consumers that is warm, human and effortless, and that the new services are based on consumer research that equates time with luxury. "We take this philosophy of warm, human and effortless, and we really embed it" in the vehicles and ownership experience, he said. Lincoln plans to launch its vehicle subscription service early next year, likely in "a couple California cities," Galhotra said, that allows consumers to lease any Lincoln vehicle on a monthly basis. While Lincoln did not announce pricing, the program is based on Ford Credit's Canvas program, which offers monthly subscriptions to pre-owned Ford vehicles and come with insurance, maintenance and warranty coverage. The service is so far offered only in the Bay Area and parts of Los Angeles. The service appears to be similar to the $1,500-a-month Book by Cadillac service and Care by Volvo. Robert Parker, Lincoln's global director of marketing, sales and service, said the service will allow consumers the option of upgrading to larger-size vehicles without being locked into a traditional two-year lease. "We acknowledge the fact that we are a challenger brand. We're not at the scale of the Germans," Parker said. "We certainly aspire to continue to grow, that's not our No. 1 focus.
BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
