Here is some fascinating additional information regarding the Continental Mark II brand:
The Continental Mark II is a personal luxury car that was produced by Continental in 1956 and 1957. An attempt to
build a post-World War II car to rival the greatest of the pre-War era, or anything produced in Europe, it is
regarded as a rare and elegant classic. The new Continental was not intended to be the largest or most powerful
automobile; rather, the most luxurious and elegant American car available, designed to recapture the spirit of the
great classics of the prewar period with prices to match. There was something of the style of the early Ford
Thunderbird at the front, which was introduced earlier at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954, with a
tasteful egg-crate grille; a long, curving hood; and straight fenders to the headlights. The fender line went back
to behind the doors, at which point the line kicked up a little before curving back down to the taillights. Little
chrome was used compared to other vehicles of the time, and the only two-tone paint combinations offered were
limited to roofs being contrasted with bodies. The car had power steering, power brakes, power windows, power
seats, power vent windows, and a tachometer. The vanes on the wheel covers were individually bolted inside the
frame of the cover. It sported a high greenhouse and a wraparound windscreen. Fueling was accomplished via a swing
away left taillight. The Continental Mark II had only one option, air conditioning, for $595. Cars with A/C had
different body parts. Most of the car was hand-built to an exacting standard, including the application of multiple
coats of paint, hand sanding, double lacquering, and polishing to perfection. From today's vantage point, it can be
argued that the Continental Mark II was successful at being what it was intended to be: an American Rolls-Royce or
Bentley, and a re-creation of the grand cars of the thirties. Today, approximately half of the original 3,000 cars
still exist.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
