1975 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe 2-door 7.5l 460 V8 Classic Collector's Car!! on 2040-cars
Pine Brook, New Jersey, United States
|
COME AND RESCUE ME! This Nearly 40 YEAR OLD American classic needs some TLC. It boasts of having only 22k original miles. When I bought this car 4 years ago at an IRS auction I was proud as could be to drive it. This Town Coupe possesses a floating feeling and a 460CID engine which is just not found today. When I first got it , everyone would comment how everything worked including the headlight doors! I started some minor restoration which was all it needed at the time. This car has been living outside and the rain, snow and sun have been taking its toll. I have not driven the car in over two years, nor have I started it. I assume the gas and other fluids went bad and starting it the way it is now would not be a good thing to do. Rust has begun and if I leave this car where it is, it will be regretful. The tires and vinyl roof need replacing also. In 1975 when this car was built, I could only dream about owning one.
So what happened? Almost three years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and my priorities changed and this car fell to the wayside along with many other hobbies and interests. If you are the sentimental type for a nostalgic classic like this or you are looking for your next project, this Lincoln Town Coupe is waiting for you to save its life. I can give you the IRS certificate, if you desire, or turn it into a NJ title, whichever you prefer. I was also curious about who previously owned this car, but I never pursued it. I was hoping it was some famous, infamous, or important. As disappointing as it may be, I must part company with this Town Coupe, a great American classic. |

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party
Mon, 27 Oct 2014At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.
