Here's a great '60 Continental convertible project. The car runs and drives, but needs fuel system and brake work. It shows 42k miles which we believe to be original. It has exterior rust on the quarters and rockers, but the unibody is solid and I see no structural issues. Please read below for more details and photos.

This car was donated to Goodwill by a long term owner in the early 1990s, and purchased by a collector who kept in dry storage from then until 2013. I've owned it for the last year but have several projects ahead of it and I'm out of storage space.

Body shows one repaint in the original diamond blue, with black leather interior. It is currently running off a gas can but the motor feels strong and smooth. Trans goes into gear and I've driven it around the yard. Brakes need rebuilt. Tires are fair but hold air.

There is rust in the lower quarters and rockers, and the driver's floor pan has a hole near the toeboard. Passenger front floor is soft but the rest of the floors look ok. Trunk floor is solid, door bottoms are good. Hood lip is rusted through. Trunk lid is solid. Structurally, the inner rockers and frame rails are solid and I don't see any rust damage. The undercoating is peeling off but underneath its solid.

Fender skirts are included - one has a small hole at the bottom. Spare wheel has been cleaned and primed. The jack and spare tire holddown are in the trunk. Top has a couple holes but is intact.

Electricals will need some attention - drivers window and power vent windows work fine, other windows try to work. Top motor tries to work but doesn't do much - the motors and relays will probably need cleaned and lubed.

Windshield has a couple light wiper scuffs but no cracks that I can see. Side and rear glass looks ok also.

She has a lot of potential and I hope she finds a good home. All questions are welcome.

The Lincoln is located in New Richmond, Ohio, just east of Cincinnati. I may be able to deliver for a reasonable fee, or at least put the buyer in touch with a transporter.

$500 deposit due at the end of the auction, and payment terms are flexible. We can store the car for up to a month if necessary. Clear Ohio title.

International bids welcome. Thanks for looking!

Lincoln MKC will be renamed the Corsair in 2021, probably

Mon, Jun 18 2018

Lincoln will be renaming its MKC crossover, calling it the Corsair instead. Automotive News is reporting that the recently trademarked, yet storied Ford model name Corsair will be affixed on the 2021 model year crossover. The report says Ford has already told its U.S. dealers about the name at an Orlando meeting last month. Ford has a long history with the Corsair nameplate in the States and abroad: Most recently, it has been in use in Australia in the early 1990s, in the UK in the 1960s, and before that Ford offered an Edsel Corsair in the late 1950s. Even if an Edsel connection might not be the best possible thing for a Ford product, let alone a Lincoln, it might serve the crossover well as Ford moves to ditch the MK naming convention it's used for Lincoln for the past decade. Still, the manufacturer is said to have cautioned dealers it might opt out of using the Corsair name before production time. At the same meeting, Ford reportedly showed the next-generation Escape, the Explorer, a battery electric crossover dubbed the Mach 1, a yet-unnamed small SUV (which might be the Bronco) , and a new Lincoln Continental complete with suicide doors. The MKC will still receive a refresh for next year, retaining its letters-name for a couple of years before the bigger redesign for 2021. Currently, the MKC is the strongest-selling Lincoln product in China, and it brings in numerous new Lincoln customers there. In the U.S. it's outsold by the MKX crossover and is neck-and-neck with the MKZ sedan.

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
