This is a no reserve auction Car will sell to highest bidder
Offered here for your consideration is a 1956 Mark II with leather interior and factory air conditioning. About the only options offered for these cars were leather, seat belts, and air conditioning. This car was special ordered with no seat belts and is still without them. The vin on this car includes "SO" signifying that it was a special order car. The original owner was an older man in Niles Ohio. His name is engraved on a plaque on the floor of the car.
In 1976 he sold the car to its second owner who lived in Pinellas County, FL. The car was repainted at that time in its factory original color (Tan Lucite Metallic). New carpet was installed at that time as well. The second owner told me he drove and enjoyed the car for 6 or 7 years and then parked it inside his garage and basically left it alone. In 2003 he took the car to Lincoln Land in Clearwater FL and advertised it for sale. I purchased the car at that time and became only the third owner of this vehicle. Though the car had been sitting for many years, it did run and I drove it home to Tampa. The car ran rough so I took it back to Lincoln Land and had master mechanic, Eric, complete an extensive service to the engine and rebuild the carburetor etc. Not long after getting her running right, the reverse gear went out in the transmission. Back to Lincoln Land where the trans. was removed and sent out for a total rebuild. The car had around 60,000 original miles when I bought it. Over the next several years I added another 20,000. Over the last few years, I have lost interest in the car and it has not been driven near as much.
I have well over $20,000 in the car including over $8,000 of service at Lincoln Land (receipts available). About a year ago I had the car transported to Lincoln Land to have a new fuel line installed. I bought 2 additional collector cars and had run out of garage space. The car has been at Lincoln Land in covered storage since that time. The owner there is ready for me to get the car out of their way so I recently went over to take the photos you see here. Though the car had been sitting for many months, we simply poured a little gas in the carb. and attached a charged battery and she fired right up. I washed her off and took these photos. Here is the link to the set of recent photos:

The car is ready for a complete cosmetic restoration. She is very solid and complete. She runs strong and the transmission is great. I expect she needs brake work, suspension work and a new exhaust system. The factory air conditioning does not work and has not worked as long as I've owned the car. The original leather is quite dry rotted and needs to be replaced. The power seat works as does the power antenna. All the power windows were working but some of the switches are temperamental. I noticed when I took the recent photos that the switches on the passenger door were removed and the glass is cracked on that window. The original radio is in the dash but not working.
I had planned to sell the car a year or so ago before sending it to Lincoln land and I took extensive photos at that time. I am including links to these photos as they show many details and include shots with magnets on the car showing she is not full of bondo. While these photos are around a year old, the car really hasn't changed much because it has been in covered garage storage since they were taken. I just want to point out that they were taken earlier because I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to misrepresent the car. The first set of photos are quite recent. The dates that show with the photos are not correct. I don't know how to set the correct date in the digital camera and it is way off. Here are links to the photos taken about a year ago:

Chris Dunn, owner of Lincoln Land, has known this car since the second owner brought it to Florida in 1976. The car has been serviced there since before I bought it. I welcome anyone interested in the car to come see it in person and drive it. I am not trying to hide anything about the car and am happy to reply to any interested parties. I would prefer to sell the car to someone who has actually seen it in person but I realize that's not always possible. This is why I am including so many photos and will be happy to answer all questions as best I can. I have included detailed descriptions with most of the photos. If you are interested in the car, please see all the photos and read the notes. If you have questions, I can be contacted by email at
hclaywalkup@aol.com. I can be reached by phone most evenings between 7 and 10 pm at (813) 286-2500.
I have enjoyed owning this car but the time has come to let her go. She needs and deserves a good restoration and I'm just not up for it. I have moved on to other cars and now hope to find someone who has the interest and the will to buy and restore her to the condition she deserves.

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

If the teaser video for Lincoln's launch of a new concept at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show wasn't enough for you, the company has now released a shadowy new image on its Twitter page. The vehicle may be a concept for the next-generation MKX, and its launch in China is part of the huge rollout to sell the brand's models there.
The latest photo shows off the concept's lighting, including LED running lights and lit sideview mirrors. The sharp edges of the lights give some hints to its shape. However, Other than clearly being a crossover, not much else is known.
The concept's launch supports Lincoln breaking into the Chinese market. It will begin selling the MKZ and MKC there this fall, as well as a midsize luxury SUV. A fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator will come later. The company will also build luxury showrooms for the models that will look more like high-end hotel lobbies than car dealers. Scroll down to watch the teaser video.
