This is a restored car from a Lincoln enthusiast who lived in Texas. I bought the car back in December 2010 and shipped to California. In May of 2013 had to move to Maine for family reasons, so the car was shipped again to Maine. I had high hopes of using the car a lot during the summer, but the summer was very short and very wet. And of corse the winters in Maine are extremely long about seven months, i still started the car once a week and let run for 10-15 minutes, that is why i'am selling the car. The car needs to be driven and enjoyed. About the car, the car has a blue exterior, the interior is also blue and the top is white. The tires are white wall Coker Classics. The paint on the car really shines like glass, and the paint chip are hard to see. The door jambs and door sills are original paint. At first i thought that was just being lazy by restorer. So i talked to him and he said he wanted to show how good the car is with no rust on bottom of doors and sills. If you know these cars this is a common spots for rust, that be said this car seems to be rust free, Just don't hold me to it there might be a spot some where on the car,  the car is 50+ years old. All of the chrome and stainless is in excellent shape. The bumpers where re chromed and shine almost like a mirror. The engine and transmission where rebuilt when restored, and runs perfect with lots of power, transmission shifts flawless. The top goes up and down like it should, looks like hoses were replaced, and maybe some of the hydraulics rams and pump were replaced to, just not sure all look newer or very clean. The interior seats are a blue vinyl, and so are the armrests no rips or scuffs, looks newer not original. Carpet is correct loop pile also looks newer not original. All the glass is in great shape no cracks or fogging. The top is also newer with no rips or scuffs, the plastic window for top is clear but has some small scuffs due to putting the top down, it scrapes on metal frame. I use a piece of foam tubing to protect from more damage when top is in trunk. The trunk lining looks all newer and redone. The dash has no cracks and looks original, but not sure. All the gauges are working and look great. I also have a set of original front seat belts i found on Ebay when i was looking for new antenna found these instead. Like i said before antenna can be fixed.  I described the car to the best of my knowledge, I'am not a mechanic or mechanically inclined. If you are most things can be fixed easily or installed like seat belts. I do recommend that you take a look at the car if you can. If you don't live in area a flight is not that bad even from Los Angeles, especially if your going to spend this kind of money on a classic car.  If you have any questions or need more pictures just email me, if you want to talk leave phone number. 

I also would like to say that my reserve is $10,000.00 or more "LESS" than some current and previous listing in recent months, of same year or similar years consisting of 1961-1967.

Lincoln revival bypasses rear-wheel drive for now

Wed, Nov 25 2015

Ford execs had the axe ready for Lincoln just a few years ago, but the luxury marque is on a hot streak these days. Annual sales are up 7.5 percent through October, and the recently unveiled, refreshed 2017 MKZ previews the company's improved styling. In a great piece about the brand's growth strategy, Automotive News finds the division's bosses want to focus on the core vehicles before taking a big step and building a rear-wheel drive niche model. "Luxury coupes and sports cars are not the first place we need to go," Global Lincoln Director Matt VanDyke said in the story. The division's bosses want to use the updated MKZ as an opportunity to distance Lincoln's identity from Ford, and the powertrain will carry the 3.0T badge rather than Ford's EcoBoost name as part of that approach. The model also injects excitement into the range thanks to an all-wheel drive version with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and an optional Driver's Package with a torque-vectoring rear differential. Lincoln will launch at least three new models by 2020, too. One of those will be the production Continental that will reportedly debut at the Detroit Auto Show. The company will also allegedly revive the Aviator to fit below the Navigator. The third vehicle remains a mystery but likely isn't a compact. Automotive News' story further examines the previously languishing brand's work to climb up the luxury ranks in the US. It's well worth a read. Related Video:

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]

Wed, Dec 31 2014

UPDATE: 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.
