1962 Lincoln
Up for auction is my beautiful 1962 Lincoln Continental soft top. Perfect example of an original and rust-free classic that's never left California. Only 3000 of these convertibles were built back in 62' and they are getting harder to find each year especially in this condition. This beauty has just over 50k original miles, it's always been stored indoors and only driven on sunny days in dry weather. Absolutley no rust issues anywhere and it has perfect original body panels throughout. As you can see from the pictures it's very straight and everything lines up just as it should. Doors open and close perfect and everything lines up just like the day it rolled off the assembly line.The car underwent cosmetic restoration in 2008 with a new paint job, convertible top, interior upholstery, trim re-chroming, and a few other additions. It runs excellent and it's safe to say you can fly down here to Orange County and drive her back home without a concern.
The car has the original 430 engine and C-6 trans that were both rebuilt back in 2002. I just had the original carburator rebuilt last month, replaced the power steering pump, and had the full exhaust system replaced earlier this year. Car runs amazing and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. This Lincoln has lots of power and picks up fairly quick for such a large car. Engine bay is very clean and the motor was pulled out when the car was repainted to have the color in the bay walls match the exterior. The suspension, power steering, and power brakes all work perfect and the car drives with great ease. It has new wide white-wall Cooker tires (paid $1,000 for the set). No squeaks or rattles anywhere and the engine runs very quite as a Lincoln should. All 4 power window motors were just rebuilt and go up and down well. Exterior lights, wipers, turn signals, power seat, ect all work fine. I recently spent over $5,000 on the convertible top system and replaced the hydraulic pump, all new hoses, electrical relays, rebuilt all 4 hydraulic solenoids, replaced 4 new deck cylinders, and rebuilt the worm gear mechanism. If you know early 60's convertible Lincolns then you know how complex these systems were designed and you know they can cost a small forture to have operating properly. The interior was all done about 2 years ago which included seat upholstery, door panels, interior carpet, trunk carpet, custom tire cover, and new vynil convertible top. The Lincoln was painted in 2008 with a nice two stage "Royal Red" paintjob that still looks great. There's a couple minor paint imperfections from average use but nothing noticable. Car has all original sheet metal and it has never been in an accident. It's never had any rust issues or metal repairs done to it either. Original glass all around in excellent shape as well. All the exterior chrome and stainless trim is original and looks very clean for being over 50 years old. Most of the interior trim has been re-chromed and polished so there's no pitting showing which is common for these old Lincolns. The only things that still need attention are the A/C system and original radio. I pulled out the factory A/C compressor a few months to have it rebuilt but never got around to it. I still have it and all you have to do is rebuild or replace it (about $300 on ebay for a new one) then recharge the system with freon and you're good to go. The original AM radio works but just needs new dash speakers hooked up.
This beauty turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever we drive it. If you don't like being the center of attention when you're on the road then this car is not for you. I've got a clean CA title in hand with current registration ready to be transfered to its new owner. Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs. It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium. Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement. The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.

In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper. You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.
