Classic and cool 1963 Convertible Lincoln Continental
This car has been well care for mechanically and I have owned it since 2007. It came from Arizona (see pic of plate in photos) and I owned it in CA and CO. It has some surface rust on the bumper, wheels and a few small spots of surface rust, but no major rust issues on the car.
The body is straight.
I did not have any bodywork done but it does appear to have had a modest amount of bondo around the rear wheel well.
The trim is in really good shape and appears complete.
There are no tears in the interior, original leather, but the back panel of the passenger seat came off. The piece is still there and could easily be reattached. I doid not as I would have the seats restuffed.
Front end was rebuilt just prior to my purchase and I had the front drum brakes converted to disc with a kit from Gearhead Engineering, it stops MUCH better with the front end discs.
It has 16 inch smoothies but I do not have the center caps for them. I also do not have the original wheels, and they could not fit over the disc brake kit
The top was replaced prior to my purchase and is in excellent shape with no tears. The rear window is a foggy but not damaged or cracked.
Generally everything works except the radio, and the rear windows do not automatically roll down when the doors are open. The windows all go down from the switches but the rears are intended to go down when the rear doors are opened.
The top works VERY well and was recently serviced.
I tried to capture the flaws in the paint and scratches in the pics. The paint looks decent but it is old.
The cars starts and runs like a champ, and I do drive it to coffee regularly. There is one stick spot in the gas pedal but it does not hamper driving.
I love this car but two of my boys are now teenagers with four-wheel drives filling up my driveway and garage.
Thanks and good luck.

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
2015 Lincoln MKC
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Back in 2012, Lincoln claimed its comeback bid was finally underway with the new-for-2013 MKZ. But don't you believe them - the renaissance won't actually begin in earnest until the shapely compact crossover seen here reaches showrooms in big numbers. That's because while the four-door MKZ was indeed a proper step toward rebirth, the 2015 MKC is the first wholly conceived vehicle under Lincoln as a standalone brand, a move first announced back in 2012.
That's an important distinction, because Lincoln's newfound emancipation from Ford's design and development processes has given the struggling marque both the corporate wherewithal and the will to develop a more fully formed product. The four-wheeled result seen here is a surprisingly cohesive luxury CUV, one with significantly more aesthetic and dynamic separation from its Ford Escape sibling than the MKZ and its Fusion counterpart. Said another way, after flogging Lincoln's latest for hundreds of miles over canyon roads outside of Santa Barbara, we've come to understand that this is far from a re-grilled Dearborn special with luxury tinsel - it's a bona fide standalone product that readily displays the sort of clear differentiation seen in platform cousins like the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. It's the real deal.
