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.

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Federal 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.

Lincoln previews new Navigator with illuminated grille, new interior

Tue, Aug 13 2024

While it's not the best-selling Lincoln, the Navigator stands proud as the company's flagship and one of its most important models in terms of image. The current-generation SUV made its debut for 2018, and it will soon receive what sounds like a round of far-reaching updates. Full details about the new-look Navigator aren't available yet, but a short preview video published by Lincoln gives us several hints. We already know that the front end gets a redesigned grille that's seemingly wider, and the teaser confirms that the central slat and the Lincoln emblem will be illuminated. Earlier spy shots suggest that the big SUV's overall proportions won't significantly change, however. Another detail revealed by the video is that the updated Navigator receives a redesigned interior. In the current model, the ignition button is located on the right side of the steering column (near where you'd expect to find the ignition barrel in an older car) and the buttons used to shift the transmission into gear are below the air vents on the center stack. In the updated SUV, the ignition button and the piano key-like shift buttons are on the center console. The steering wheel gets a cleaner-looking design, and it looks like the dashboard is new as well. There's no word on what's under the hood. For 2024, the Navigator comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that's twin-turbocharged to 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It spins the four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive is no longer offered. An unverified report claims a hybrid system will join the portfolio; the 10-speed automatic was developed with electrification in mind, after all. Lincoln will unveil the Navigator on August 15, and the model should land on dealer lots for the 2025 model year. The Ford Expedition that the Navigator is closely related to is expected to receive a major round of visual and tech updates for the 2025 model year as well.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
