1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan 7.0l on 2040-cars
Yukon, Oklahoma, United States
I am putting up my 1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan w/ the A/C option. This car was brought in from the West Coast 3 years ago from a good friend, and I bought it from him, after a year of begging him to take my money. This Lincoln has about 15% left to be in show quality, mostly body work. I have had the privilege of owning this Lincoln Continental Sedan for almost two years. I have done a large list to the car since I bought it. As always these old classic cars can use a few things. Unless of course you have done a frame off restoration, and if you are looking at this you know what kind of premium they bring. I tried to stay as close to original as I could. I have done a few things off color like the brushed nickel on the air breather and the valve covers. All the power windows work, The A/C has been nearly redone top to bottom. The last piece is the resistor and it will stay ice cold. Right now it gets cold and blows for around 5-10 mins and then shuts off. I checked with Lincolnlandinc and they have the part available. It is time to pass this piece of history on to a car enthusiast who will show this beautiful sedan the love and care it deserves. It needs to be around another 50 years. This 1964 needs very little. You can hop in the car, fire it off, and the 430 M.E.L. 7.0 liter roars to life. It floats down the road like a dream, and still has legs at 80 mph. You will not be disappointed about any part of this Lincoln. I have personally done the following: New timing chain set New water pump New fan New brake solenoid New brake shoes New ignition coil New distributor New points, plugs, and wires Rebuilt the carburetor Ran new fuel pump hose New valve cover seal Refinished the valve covers in brushed nickel Refinished the air cleaner in brushed nickel. Replaced a rear axle bearing and the rear axle seal Rebuilt the drive shaft and put in new knuckles Put in a new A/C clutch Put in new high and low A/C valves Put on new belts Brazed the coolant tank and pressure tested the system Put in a functional stereo with MP3 and AUX

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
Annie Leibovitz goes Continental for Lincoln campaign
Mon, Oct 10 2016Lincoln has a lot riding on the new Continental, and the company is now calling upon renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz to glam-up its new flagship. Her photos are part of a new series dubbed "That's Continental," which the automaker will use in high-end publications and on social media. Leibovitz's iconic photos have been used in magazines like Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, and she's photographed celebrities, politicians, literary icons, and landmark events. The new series for the Continental is Leibovitz's first attempt at car photography and it follows a road trip theme inspired by the trips she took with her father as a child. The photos for the campaign were shot in New York City with a group of non-professional models, including a musician, an artist, an actor, and a film director and his dog, Seven. "Annie Leibovitz is a photographer of substance," said Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra. "The rich, warm emotions her photos evoke, mirror the feelings we want our clients to experience on all of their journeys in the new Lincoln Continental." While we're still arguing over the Continental's looks, Leibovitz's pictures show the sedan at its best. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
