This 1966 Continental convertible is a nicely preserved survivor that has been garage stored and covered since purchased in 2006 by an elderly man who also babied it for several years prior. It has the beautiful factory color combinations, a light blue exterior with a dark blue interior and a white canvas top. Take your pic, the car looks great with the top down or up. The interior could use a little love but doesn't need a complete restoration by any means. The seating surfaces show moderate wear and some light cracking, but no major splits or tears, and as with the bodywork, again it’s too nice to restore—give the leather some conditioning and it’ll look just right. The biggest issue with the interior is the cracked plastic door panel where the switches for the windows are. You would want to order two of them, one for the driver and passenger side. The back door panels are fine. The rugs could use a shampoo as well, but besides that, the interior is solid. Accessories include power windows and seat, tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo radio with power antenna, and a stylish clock in front of the passenger. Perhaps most critical on any of these cars are the incredibly complex top mechanisms, which were derived from the folding hardtop system found on the 1950s Ford Retractables. Hit the switch under the dash or use the convenient key-operated switch next to the gas tank lid, and the nicely-fitted white top disappears into the trunk. This is usually a traffic stopper, people walking by will enjoy this show. The trunk area carpet could also use a shampoo. This is also where the spare tired is stored. Lincoln’s massive 462 cubic inch V8 provides a smooth ride that feels like you're in a living room on wheels. This is a heavy vehicle roughly 6000 pounds and once she gets going she just floats down the road effortlessly. This car needs to be driven and wants to be driven. Take it on a nice long drive and let it perform for you. She's older but knows how to entertain. Original factory assembly markings are still visible on many of the components. There are new tires with one inch white walls to keep the car consistent with how it came out of the factory. We know this isn’t a perfect car, but it will make a perfect fit for someone. The interior is 50 years old and might be showing a few signs of age, but things like the engine, transmission, and undercarriage are extremely solid and perhaps most importantly, the top works. Like many formerly affordable cars, these suicide door Lincoln convertibles have been steadily appreciating and finding one that isn’t a basket case or a $50,000 investment is getting harder all the time. If a driver-grade Continental is what you’re seeking, this is a good car to put on the road. Any additional information or pictures will be provided upon request. The car is coming from Calgary, Canada and can be shipped to the US/Canadian in Montana for free. If there is somewhere else you would like this vehicle shipped to in the US that can be organized by me and half the shipping cost will be paid by me.

Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs

Thu, Jun 1 2023

The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take:Â The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score:Â 7.5 What it competes with:Â Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros:Â All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons:Â CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd Â— "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis:Â 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design Â 2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.

Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars

Mon, Oct 6 2014

U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans Â— climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator Â— the one so popular that Ford will increase production Â— crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
