This numbers-matching car has attitude with a new black paint job so well done it's like looking in a mirror (see photos) with metal trim that runs the length of this long car. How long? It's 220" long, 79.7" wide and is 55" tall. The new bright red interior adds the fun factor to the car - red leather seats, carpet, seat belts, dashboard, steering wheel and sun visors makes this car pop. The Lincoln Continental logo is embroidered in the back of the driver's and passenger's seat up front and in the center of the long bench seat in the back (see photos). An easy flip down arm rest can be found in both the front seat and rear seat. The car has so much room it's like driving your living room down the road. Six people can easily fit in the car with room to spare but as many as eight can sit without serious crowding. The convertible top, powered by six different relays, works and the owner has put a new convertible top on for protection. Flip the dashboard switch or twist a key from the outside and the rear trunk opens up, the roof starts to retract and rear glass automatically folds down. The rear deck lid automatically closes down over the convertible roof when it is retracted and two worm gears pull the the trunk lid tight for a nice, seamless seal. There is no convertible top boot exposed, just sleek lines. The car runs great and, as you would expect, the Lincoln Continental ride is like floating on a cloud down the highway. The car is powered by a monstrous 462 cubic-inch, which is rare and was only produced for three years (mileage is an estimate - true mileage is unknown). The rear end is a 208, one of the best ever made by Ford. The automobile has a C-6 transmission. The uniqueness of the car is accented by the car's horn - it sounds like a symphony - and the speedometer. The speedo shows your speed - 0-120 mph - and below it is a window that appears black when sitting still. As you pick up speed, the speedometer turns white but once you hit 70 mph - which is easy to do in this car - the spinning spool in the little window turns red. This was the pre-digital days and this speedometer is very unique. Just another unique touch to this car. How well has this car been maintained through the years? The original owner's manual is included with the car, bearing the names of the original owner and the second owner found stamped inside the owner's manual cover. Whether driving to a restaurant or club or just tooling around town, this car gets all the attention.This rare, unique classic car is offered from the personal collection of prominent NASCAR race promoter Eddie Gossage, President of famed Texas Motor Speedway.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
Here's our best look yet at the production Lincoln Continental
Wed, Dec 16 2015The team at Lincoln continues to strip off camouflage from the Continental in each new round of spy shots, and the latest set presents a luxury sedan that looks nearly ready for a debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. This one doesn't even need a tow truck to get around. The production Continental takes the handsome concept's design and translates its cues to the road with tiny alterations. The rectangular, mesh grille doesn't shine with chrome on this one, but that would be an easy addition for the Detroit show. The LED headlights look nearly the same with running lights that sweep upward at the corners. The bottom of the lower fascia sees the biggest tweak the company drops the thick chrome strip in favor of a thinner lip. Lincoln doesn't put any camo on the pillars, so these shots provide a great view of the roofline in profile. Look carefully along the beltline and you can spot where the designers incorporated the high-mounted door handles from the concept. This minor styling touch greatly helps to clean up the lines along the side. The rear sees bigger changes from the concept. For example, these undisguised taillights share the same shape but now have more visible red in them. The production version also wears a fairly simple integrated exhaust rather than the more complicated design before. The Continental will reportedly be available with the Lincoln-exclusive 3.0-liter EcoBoost and front- or all-wheel drive. Unlike the MKS that it will replace, the model's production will likely occur at the Flat Rock, MI, factory. Related Video:
2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
