1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible, # 00095 off the Lincoln assembly Line. This was a rare find. In storage for over 12yrs.

This Lincoln was repainted many years ago White with Red Leather Interior and White Top. The paint had faded and had many

paint chips and scratches.

The owners son had mentioned that the 430 motor was rebuilt 14 years ago, But it has not been started in years.

The windows did not work,The Power top did not open every time and sometimes not at all.

I know I had a lot of work to do . I rebuilt the carburetor,Changed the spark plugs and ran a can of gas from the fuel pump

to the carburetor,With a new battery and my finger crossed I cranked the motor over and in a minute or so it started.

There was a little smoke and some lifter noise but ofter a few minutes it purred like a kitten. What a relief.

If You are going to restore your 60s Lincoln Continental Sedan or Convertible,You better get ready for price shock.

Better yet take out that second on your home.You will need it..

As John Cashman had told me when I started to purchase parts and relays from him," Welcome to the Land of Lincolns".

These are 50 plus year old cars and parts are hard to find and are exspensive. Most Lincoln Continental parts are Used,Rebuilt or Reproduced.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Remember there were around 40,000 1960s Lincoln Continental Sedans made each year and around 2800 1960s Lincoln Continental Convertibles. Less than 3000 Convertibles a year for the early 60s, How many 1962 Lincoln Convertibles do you think exist today???

As you can see on Ebay,Barrett Jackson and other auctions around the country 1960s Lincoln Continentals and Convertibles are

High Priced Cars,Especialy when they have been Restored or are all Original..Stock.

I removed all Chrome and bright metal,Bumpers, windshield,Removed all paint down to metal, There were a few rust spot on the lower-quarter panel and two doors. I repaired both doors with new metal patches, The lower quarter panels I made new sections and welded them in. On all welding repairs undercoating was applied to the insides to prevent any further rust.

Before any bodywork was started I sprayed the complete car with self etching epoxy primer.Next was the body work, Then Primer,then

block sand,Primer,Block sand get ready for Paint, 4 coats of black paint, let sit 2 days color sand and Spray 4 more coats of Black paint,

Let paint sit 2 days color sand and spat the last 4 coats of Black paint. After a few days the paint was blocked with 800,1000,1200,1500 and

2500 wet sanding. Then cut and buff to a diamond shine. Now the body is Lazer Straight ready for the Chrome and bright metal.

I know you thinking that that is exactly what you would do.It is the only way, But it takes months to do it and not a few weeks.

And body work aint cheap. Remember you get what you pay for. Custom Body and Paint jobs on Big Cars are around $15-$20,000.

All the Polished Stainless and Re-Chrome was put back on the Lincoln, The Interior was removed and Replaced with Leather,,Dash was removed for Paint and new Leather.

While the dash was removed all wiring was checked for shorts or cuts, Vacuum lines were replaced if cracked or split.

I removed the worn and missing wood dash and replaced it with My Own Wood Dash Kits. $500.00+ S+H.

New Black Carpet and Padding was installed.Door panels were recovered,

The engine was treated with New Powder Coating, The Power Steering Pump was rebuilt, I replaced the Timing Chain and Gears while i was rebuilding the Power Steering Pump,I replaced the Fuel Pump rod And Rebuilt the Fuel Pump.

I replaced all Intake Gskts,Valve Cover Gskts and Freez Plugs with Brass Plugs.

I installed a New Radiator and replaced the thermostats.

New Brakes and a Power Brake Booster was installed, All the power window switches were rebuilt, Window motors were checked,Window tracks were cleaned

and Lubricated,Roller Guides were cleaned,Greased or Replaced.

22" Lexani Wheels and New 22" tires for that look.

Front Springs were cut 1", Rear End has 3" lowering blocks. There was NO cutting done to the rear frame,No Air Bags.

Now for the Convertible top, It Works, BUT There is no Vinyl top installed yet. WHY, Because I refuse to install The Absolute Garbage Roof Rail Seals that are being

sold to us. They are BADDDD..... I refuse to install them Until Someone out there (Like Me) Steele Rubber or Soft Seal Makes a set of Roof Rail Seals

worth putting on your Classic Lincoln Continental Convertible.

This is a NON A/C Car. 430 Engine with a 2 Barrel carb.

So my Loss is Your Gain. If you are A SERIOUS Buyer and not a Bull Sh-ter and have any questions please call.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid range, fuel economy revealed

Mon, Dec 9 2019

The range-topping 2020 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid luxury crossover finally has official fuel economy ratings. The electric range is 21 miles, and when the battery is exhausted, gas-only combined fuel economy is 23 mpg. The EPA's combined electric and gas test loop yielded 56 mpg-e. These numbers make the Aviator Grand Touring the most frugal version of the three-row luxury crossover, with the next most efficient one being the rear-drive non-hybrid model at 21 mpg combined. When going by gas-only fuel economy, though, the Aviator Grand Touring's non-plug-in cousin, the Ford Explorer Hybrid, returns up to 28 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive, and 25 mpg with all-wheel drive. It has much less power at 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque, compared to the Aviator Grand Touring's 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. The luxury plug-in hybrid crossover segment is quite small right now. The closest competitor to the Aviator Grand Touring is probably the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. It has a shorter electric range of 13 miles, and its gas-only fuel economy is a slightly worse at 22 mpg. The Porsche is less powerful with 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and its base price of $82,450 exceeds the Lincoln's $69,895 price. The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e splits the difference on efficiency with a worse 10-mile electric range, but a better gasoline fuel economy of 25 mpg combined. This could improve for 2020, as the updated model will have a larger battery. It's cheaper, too, at $51,645, but it's also a full size smaller than the Lincoln.
