1956 Continental Mark Ii on 2040-cars
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States
|
C5681030 is an absolutely beautiful presentation of a 1956 Continental Mark II. This former Barrett Jackson car is stunning in every detail. In 1956, Ford introduced the Continental, which was not a Lincoln but an entirely separate, stand alone brand with the simple goal of being the world's finest luxury automobile. The Mark II was meticulously hand crafted to exacting standards meant to exceed those of Cadillac and Rolls Royce. This vehicle had spent it's entire life in the Seattle area until our purchase of the unit at the Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale. We have done made some minor repairs to the car including but not limited to: new heater control valves, R&R of valves and new lifter set/ gaskets. The car runs absolutely perfect. Everything is in excellent condition and working order. The exterior paint is from an older restoration and is in very good shape but is beginning to show some very fine cracking. The interior is also completely original except for the addition of seat inserts in a forest green cloth. The grey leather bolsters, dash cover and door covers are all in very good condition and appear to be all original. The armrests show normal wear including some minor spider cracks. This car is available for immediate delivery. Partial trade ins of 2 door 60's/ early 70's resto mods considered. Please contact David Swift at 405.414.3500
for additional vehicle details and photo portfolio. Please be respectful of our time. |

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
