What you are looking at is one of the most iconic vehicles that I know of, the JFK car.  Even though I believe the original JFK car was 63 Lincoln Continental, this car actually originated in Texas as well.  I still have the original license plate that was issued to this vehicle in 1964.  I hate to part with this car but due to purchase of a new house this must go.  So here we go.  

What you are looking at is a numbers matching 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible fully loaded with the original 430 V8 motor and transmission.  This black beauty looks quite cool with all black exterior and beautiful red interior.  I have taken this Lincoln to multiple car shows and rarely do you see these cars in public.  Due to California weather, I always have the top down and rarely have a need to put the top up.  Lets start with the exterior.  The paint is very nice, however it is several years old.  So if you are looking for a perfect car, this car is not for you.  With that said, the car has some minor imperfections but nothing major.  It does not have any rust issues.  It does have a few chips here and there but you do have to look for them.  The chrome is in great condition and looks good.  However, with an afternoon you can get the chrome to polish and look even better.  The interior is very clean, non smoker, no rips or tears in the seats or carpet.  The car does have power seats and power everything.  The radio, heater, power antenna, power locks, seats, windows, convertible top, lights, etc all work.  The convertible top does go up and down.  The trunk opens and closes as it should.  If you know Lincoln Continentals than you should know that the electronics on these cars are finicky.  You do have to tinker with this every now and then.  Back in 1964 this Lincoln was the highest optioned car available and sold for well over $8000.00 and they only made around 3,328 of these convertibles.  So when was the last time you saw one.  I did have all of the power equipment working and had all of the window switches completely rebuilt.  All the motors do work, however you just may need to reset the relays.  I also have Lincoln Continental manual that breaks down this car down to the very last relay.  


The motor runs really good but it is the original motor.  The transmission shifts smooth and with out problems.  At 70 mph on the freeway the car just glides along.  The exhaust sounds great and has a very deep and powerful sound to it.  The car does have a few minor leaks coming from the oil pan and transmission pan as well but nothing major.  The AC does not work right now and I do have a new condenser for it and that is all it needs.  Also, the speedometer does not work right now but it was working a few weeks ago.  The convertible top does look ok, but it may need to be replaced depending upon your preference.  As I said, I rarely use the top and always have the car garaged.  I am very confident that with just a few thousand dollars investment you can easily turn this car into a 45-50K car.  My reserve is set pretty low, however I won't give the car away either. 

I do have the car for sale locally and retain the right to end this auction at anytime if the car sells sooner.  I have the pink slip on the car and it is currently registered with out any issues.  If you have any questions or want to test drive the car please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets

Mon, Jul 31 2017

By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world

Sat, Jul 11 2015

The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
