1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1947 Mileage:12345

Gilbert, Arizona, United States

This is a NO RESERVE auction for my my 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible.  This has been in our family for about 30 years, my dad starting restoring it about 20 years ago, but never finished, so here’s your chance to restore it and get it back on the road.  This car originally came with the V12, but it was missing when we got it.  He put a Mustang II front end in it, disc brakes, Ford 9” rear end and a Ford 400 motor with AT.  The fenders were removed and the body was media blasted and painted with bare metal etching primer.  No bondo or bodywork has been done.  You can see in the pics that there are a few rusty places in the floor that need to be replaced, but otherwise the car is very solid and rust free.  All of the fenders, doors, and other sheet metal are rust free and very straight.

 

He’s been collecting spare parts for it over the years and has duplicate parts for just about every part of the car.  Spare fenders, dashes, gauges, switches, radios, grilles, bumpers, etc… There’s even a brand new spare radiator with a custom brass top that’s polished to a mirror finish.  The original radiator is also included with the dual inlets and dual outlets that were on all of the V12 cars.

 

The convertible top is complete with all of the bows and can be raised and lowered manually.  The hydraulic lift struts are still there, including the original aluminum interior panels.

 

The continental kit is all original and complete with spare tire brackets and tire cover panels that are in perfect original condition.

 

This car is super rare and is an excellent candidate for restoration because it’s very complete, rust free and in great condition.  As far as we can tell, it’s been here in Arizona it’s entire life, so it’s in really good shape.  When we bought it, it was stored in a garage and for the last 30 years we’ve had it stored in the garage as well.  There are enough accessory parts for 2 cars.  My dad recently passed away and I wouldn’t be able to restore this car the way it should be done, so I hope it goes to a good car family that can bring it back to life.

 

The car has a clear Arizona title in my name, it’s not a salvage title and there are no liens.

 

Because there are so many spare parts and they won’t all fit in the car, I will NOT ship internationally.  Transportation of this car will consist of a auto trailer as well as a truck bed just for all of the spare parts.  Please make arrangements with me before final bidding to arrange transportation.  The car rolls very easily and the tires will hold air for a few days.

Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.

50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China

Tue, Dec 5 2017

SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

Lincoln MKX Concept announces impending launch in China

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

Lincoln has finally dropped the details on the MKX Concept after a few days of teasing. Set for a very important global debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, we're going to have to see this conceptualized version of the third-generation MKX in person before we can draw any real conclusions on the effectiveness of its design.
One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.
