This is one for your collection. After looking at the pictures you will know this is one of the finest 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupes you will find out there. Thousands of dollars have been spent on this car during restoration, all documented in a 4 inch thick 3 ring binder, that includes every detail of EVERYTHING that has been done to this car. The documentation not only covers the restoration and costs but it is complete manual to the operation and specifications of this car. The manual itself is as amazing as the car. A car like this does not come up for sale often, with only 395 units being built in 1948 this is truly a rare car. It has been meticulously cared for and restored. Please take the time to read thought the description and look carefully at the pictures. Enjoy!!! History I am listing this car for a good friend of mine. He purchased the car from a gentleman who had put thousands of dollars into the car restoring it from 2003-2006. I have records for the restoration he did on the car, pictures of the super solid car he started with and full documentation of the process. The original restorer lovingly invested almost $40,000 dollars in the car. Everything has been rebuilt or replaced only using top quality parts, from people like ECI, master power brakes, Genie, Flaming river, Lectra-Glide, Kearney, Edge, Nielson, Chassis Engineering and much much more. Body When my friend purchased the car it has been assembled and primed in Epoxy primer. The car was then sent to a restoration shop in Wilson NC where the body was smoothed to perfection and buffed out to a show quality shine. The paint job alone on the car cost $17500. I am a restoration specialist by trade owning my own shop here in Richmond and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt he got what he paid for from the guys in NC. The paint was completed in 2006 and it has been inside and covered since. The paint codes are in the 3 ring binder as well so you will know without question the colors are on the car. Pay close attention to the following description: There are some places coming up on the roof of the car. I am not sure what it really is, it could be surface rust, it could be a reaction or a delamination of the paint, I think it is the later. It is very hard to photograph. In my opinion the roof will need to be repainted to be perfect. If you call me we can talk about it in greater detail. All of the chrome has been re-plated and any trim part that needed polishing was polished. You definitely do not want to have to foot the bill for the chroming!! Be glad it is already done. Engine/Trans/Chassis The engine itself is a complete work of art. The engine 292 cubic inch V-12 has been fully rebuilt, with Edge pistons, a Nielson custom cam (250 degrees duration and 302 lift), Kearney Custom aluminum heads (the cost of these was $2500 alone), an Edmonds dual carb intake, Two Stromberg 97 carbs all polished and plated. New rebuilt Lincoln Zepher water pumps added, a one wire alternator and a HI-TORQ starter from IMI Performance products . The engine has 8.5-1 compression ratio and approximately 150 HP. It runs like a sewing machine and starts every time. The transmission is C-4 automatic which was fully rebuilt by Cottmans Transmission service (receipt included) and shift flawlessly. It is topped off with a Genie shifter. A new drive shaft was mated to a 1956 Mercury rear with a 3.15-1 gear ratio to make cruising a pleasure. The rear was fully rebuilt and rides of Chassis Engineering low rider springs in the rear. The original front end was treated to a ECI front disc brake set up and a Master Power Brake booster and master cylinder was used to handle the stopping power. Power steering was added to the car as well with a new Flaming River power steering gear and a GM style power steering pump. The car rides on original style steel wheels wrapped in 225/75/15 wide whites. Interior The interior was all redone in a burgundy naugahyde with velour inserts and door panels. It complements the exterior perfectly and was done to look and complement the original style. Included in the book that comes along with the car are swatches of the material used with their manufactures brand name and codes/part numbers for future reference. The wiper system was updated with a New Port Engineering vacuum wiper system that is fed by a separate Vacuum pump so the wipers will always have the proper vacuum needed to operate. Lectra Glide power window units were installed as well and work perfectly. The seats are very comfortable and the cabin has that luxurious feeling that you only get from a Lincoln. Summary All in all this is an exceptional vehicle that had thousands of dollars spent on the restoration. It has been meticulously done and is road ready. I think you will be hard pressed to find another ’48 Lincoln that you can drive, show and enjoy more than this one. It still has all of the original prominence but has been modernized a bit to offer a few more creature comforts. I encourage you to come and look at the car for yourself.

Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now
Sat, Jan 17 2015The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
Ford and Lincoln design honcho leaves to head Nissan North America design
Thu, Jun 13 2019Last Friday, David Woodhouse suddenly resigned from his dual positions as Ford's director of global strategic design and director of Lincoln design. In a post not long after leaving, he praised the efforts of his former team over the past six years he headed design at Lincoln. Among other products, that crew gave us the redesigned Navigator, the Continental concept and production sedan, and the Aviator concept and production crossover. Car Design News reports Woodhouse traded Michigan for California, taking the role of VP at Nissan Design America in San Diego. He officially assumes the position July 1, and will also serve on the Japanese automaker's Global Nissan Design Management Committee. Woodhouse has spent more than 25 years in the design department, starting with BMW and work on the Mini and Range Rover brands, followed by a brief stint with Cadillac of Europe. For the past 20 years he's been with Ford, coming on board with the Ford's former luxury arm known as the Premier Automotive Group — Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Volvo and Lincoln. He became Lincoln's design director in 2013, introducing the world to the design language labeled "quiet flight." He described the language's details as "anti-wedge body gestures, S-curves wherever possible, and an emphasis on horizontal lines at every opportunity to create leaner, longer, wider emphasis on the exteriors, and create equilibrium, balance, and calmness on the interiors." A much shorter way to describe it is: revitalized Lincolns. The U.S. luxury maker's new and overhauled products have been praised for their lines by critics and by paying customers. The brand's done so well it's hard to remember when the MKC concept was a revelation, and that goes on Woodhouse's resume, too. That's some special juju to take to Nissan, where Woodhouse will lead both Nissan and Infiniti design focused on the North American region. Nissan has a solid if uninspiring lineup that sells well here, while Infiniti, as the luxury brand, is the bigger issue. Infiniti sedans glide on the contrails of a design language more than 10 years old. The money-making crossovers and SUVs haven't made a splash in about the same time, since the long-ago FX45. Nissan's plan to update 70 percent of its lineup over the next few years and Infiniti's transition to an all-electric brand makes right now the perfect time to break into riveting designs for the street. Woodhouse replaces Taro Ueda, who moves into a global role with Nissan.
Lincoln Corsair reportedly on track for 2020 as replacement for MKC
Thu, Jul 12 2018Last month we told you how Lincoln was considering renaming the MKC crossover as the Corsair. Now, a report suggests that the MKC replacement is on track for 2020, a year ahead of schedule. Ford Authority reports the accelerated timeline, citing unnamed sources. Ford reportedly told dealers at a meeting this spring in Orlando it was considering Lincoln Corsair as the crossover's new name, but that it could change its mind before it went into production as a 2021 model. The accelerated development of the Corsair — or whatever its final name may be — might be a result of Ford's recent decision to do away with sedans and double down on hot-selling crossovers, SUVs and pickups. Ford Authority's sources tell it that Lincoln is borrowing elements including the mirrors, front fenders, tail lights and wide stance from the Aviator Concept that it unveiled in March in New York City. The Aviator was teased with a plug-in hybrid powertrain option, and given Ford's plans to electrify its lineup, it's entirely possible the Corsair will follow that path as well. Lincoln is slowly moving away from its MK alphanumeric naming system, adopting instead exotic travel-themed nomenclature (think Continental, Nautilus and Navigator). In this case, an actual "corsair" was a pirate ship popular along the southern Mediterranean from the 16th through the 18th centuries. Ford also already owns the name Corsair, so that helps. The MKC is Lincoln's strongest-selling vehicle in China, where the brand has seen explosive growth tapping into the droves of newly created wealthy carbuyers. In the United States, Lincoln sold 27,048 MKCs in 2017, making it the brand's third-best selling model behind the MKZ sedan and MKX crossover ( soon to be renamed the Nautilus). For the first half of 2018, it had sold 12,289 units, which was down 8.7 percent from the prior-year period.
