Award-winning, beautifully restored Continental sedan. Show quality black paint, show-chromed bumpers, professionally polished stainless trim, new, correct "Pearl Gold Crinkle Leather" with gold piping (trim code 88), recovered door cards, new wood, new carpet and custom made mats and trunk kit from Jim Wallace at Leather Restorations.  

Rebuilt engine and transmission, rebuilt steering gear box and pump. Mostly new suspension rubber, shocks, bushings, center link, etc.  While the original AM/FM radio works, the car is pre-wired for a custom stereo of your choosing so its not necessary to tear the car apart to add a great stereo.  Pre-wiring includes power from the battery, speaker wires to four corners of the interior, power and IPod connectivity to the console interior (that's what all the wires are in the trunk pic).
Won "First Place" in its category last year at Lincoln Continental Owners Club Texas State-wide meet last year.
Just returned from this year's Salado event last night.  The car is known to the president of the National LCOC club, and the heads of the Lone Star Region and the Texas Gulf Coast Region.  
I encourage anyone interested to come and see/drive the car in person, or hire a professional to inspect it.

A note about style:  If you're interested in a "slab-side" Continental, you may be familiar with the various characteristics of the different models.  However, if you just like the look and have not researched the year-by-year changes, this is for you.  This "Milestone" car was introduced in 1961 to almost universal acclaim with the "Thunderbird" grill.  The car was a radical departure from the baroque designs of the late-50's; lean, athletic, austere in its decoration with minimal use of chrome and artifice.  The original design called for inward sloping "C" pillars and curved side glass (an industry first) to produce more a more radical "tumblehome" (inward slope of the "greenhouse" above the beltline).  In the first three years ('61-'63) it was all about the style...and, if a car this large can be considered "sporty", it looks it from many angles.  Due to customer preferences for a larger back seat, these essential elements were dropped in 1964, when the side glass was straightened, the rear doors lengthened and the top was made bigger and more rectangular...no more Tumblehome.  Everyone has their preferences, but the first three years ('61-'63) only have the elements of style that made this a ground-breaking design.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

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.

Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes

Tue, 14 May 2013

When 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.
