I purchased this car from an elderly woman that drove it on a daily basis up until Ca required you to have insurance. It was garage kept however it did pick up some road rash from her driving skills as seen on each rear quater panel. The story is the elderly woman was a big Doris Day fan and she swares that this was her car. She stated to me that a car lot was advertising it in hollywood and she drove down with her husband and they purchased the car. At this point it is only her side of the story and I have no way of proving this. Perhaps I will call DMV this week and see what I can find out about the cars history. It does have the yellow and black plates on it. The car appears to be stock paint and interior. As you can see from the pictures the car is complete and it does drive and stop as you can see from the video. I had the carb rebuilt, new battery and water pump installed. We flushed the tank and fuel lines. The brakes were pulled apart and adjusted up so it does stop well. I noticed today the fuel pump is starting to leak fuel. The front windshield has a crack in the lower driver side. I tried to open the trunk because she stated the little letters from the trunk are in a box inside. I was not successful at this and did not want to break the key off. It appears all the keys she gave me are just for the ignition. The headlights and tail lights all work. All the glass is in the car and the two lower quater panel gravel guards are sitting in the back seat. I have the old pink slip for the car which is clean and clear. The floors are solid. Car appears to be rust free. This is such a great project that you could drive while you restored or do a full restoration on it. Please ask questions...let me know what you are looking for. Again this car is sold as a running project car however you would not fly in and drive it back home. Thanks for looking.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
The Lincoln Way seeks to woo customers with unique services
Tue, Jul 19 2016Lincoln has been fighting hard to shed their image as a luxury brand for the elderly. The company has recently introduced or updated nearly every vehicle in its fleet in order to literally put a new face on the brand. Options, like the Black Label program, attempt to pull influence from high-end automakers that provide services extending beyond scheduled oil changes. Now, Lincoln is introducing a program that it refers to as The Lincoln Way, a suite of customer-oriented services that the company hopes will set it apart from the pack. All of this starts this fall when the new Continental goes on sale. Customers will have access to services like vehicle pickup and drop off and complimentary loaner vehicles. The company is planning more incentives for the future, but details are vague. Lincoln parent Ford is offering similar services on the upcoming GT. The Lincoln Way seems to be an expansion of some services already offered under the Black Label program. Right now, Black Label includes scheduled maintenance, car washes, and concierge services, as well as exclusive vehicle colors and options. The program is pricey and only available on some models in some states, though Lincoln plans on expanding Black Label's reach. In addition to these services, Lincoln is opening a showroom of sorts, called the Lincoln Experience Center, in Newport Beach, California. The facility won't actually sell vehicles. Instead, customers can come and learn about the brand, build and price vehicles, and take test drives. The Experience Center will then put customers in contact with local dealers. Lincoln says the increased focus on customer care and satisfaction draws influence from the company's growth in China. Since the introduction of The Lincoln Way services, sales in China have grown greatly. Sales in the United States, like China, have been improving the past few years. With the introduction of The Lincoln Way, the company hopes that Matthew Mcconaughey won't be the only draw for future customers. Related Video: Lincoln Ownership Luxury lincoln black label
