Classic 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
Classic and cool 1963 Convertible Lincoln Continental
This car has been well care for mechanically and I have owned it since 2007. It came from Arizona (see pic of plate in photos) and I owned it in CA and CO. It has some surface rust on the bumper, wheels and a few small spots of surface rust, but no major rust issues on the car.
The body is straight.
I did not have any bodywork done but it does appear to have had a modest amount of bondo around the rear wheel well.
The trim is in really good shape and appears complete.
There are no tears in the interior, original leather, but the back panel of the passenger seat came off. The piece is still there and could easily be reattached. I doid not as I would have the seats restuffed.
Front end was rebuilt just prior to my purchase and I had the front drum brakes converted to disc with a kit from Gearhead Engineering, it stops MUCH better with the front end discs.
It has 16 inch smoothies but I do not have the center caps for them. I also do not have the original wheels, and they could not fit over the disc brake kit
The top was replaced prior to my purchase and is in excellent shape with no tears. The rear window is a foggy but not damaged or cracked.
Generally everything works except the radio, and the rear windows do not automatically roll down when the doors are open. The windows all go down from the switches but the rears are intended to go down when the rear doors are opened.
The top works VERY well and was recently serviced.
I tried to capture the flaws in the paint and scratches in the pics. The paint looks decent but it is old.
The cars starts and runs like a champ, and I do drive it to coffee regularly. There is one stick spot in the gas pedal but it does not hamper driving.
I love this car but two of my boys are now teenagers with four-wheel drives filling up my driveway and garage.
Thanks and good luck.

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
2015 Lincoln Navigator
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).
