A 2 Owner Survivor With Original Paint, Interior, Engine, Transmission on 2040-cars
Stamford, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for auction is a 2 owner 1964 Lincoln Continental that has been garage kept since new. All original paint, sheet metal, and drive line. The stainless is in great condition with the exception of the left front fender trim. There are door marks down the sides as this was not always a collector vehicle and was actually used for trips to Macy's and Tiffany's but these are on the surface. Vehicle is registered and driven on those days that we yearn for all year long. Rear bumper corners are "bumped" up, but very fixable as the "little old lady" that originally owned it backed into the garage daily and stopped when she could not go further. Original leather interior is in excellent condition with no tears, abnormal creases or stains. Original carpet shows no major wear and the head liner is perfect. All original panels still in place in the trunk. 59,320 miles and tracks straight and true. Tires have less than 1,000 miles on them, the originals where too dry rotted to be saved for any use. The brakes are a little soft, radio cuts in and out and the clock is disconnected at this time. Windows operate, but can be a little "touchy" and are all power including the "fly" windows. Ride in what American Luxury is all about as this car floats down the road. Vehicle inspection encouraged as you will not find another SURVIVOR in this condition unless its been cordoned off in a museum with only the finest curators near it, and those can't be driven! Some original paper work is included. Bidders with zero / negative feed back must contact before bidding. I have already sent all my collector cars overseas to the lottery winners so no need to contact me about this one. Vehicle is located in Fairfield County Connecticut. Remember, this is a 50 year old, not all 50+ year old Americans look this good aside from Christie Brinkley. Cash or certified bank check only. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and inspection fees.

Lincoln dons the Black Label
Mon, 17 Nov 2014
"We're really trying to simplify for the customer on their terms." - Paul Bucek
Lincoln is launching a Black Label service and customization program in December at 32 dealerships across the country in a bid to attract new and more upscale customers.
Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
