This is a no reserve auction Car will sell to highest bidder
Offered here for your consideration is a 1956 Mark II with leather interior and factory air conditioning. About the only options offered for these cars were leather, seat belts, and air conditioning. This car was special ordered with no seat belts and is still without them. The vin on this car includes "SO" signifying that it was a special order car. The original owner was an older man in Niles Ohio. His name is engraved on a plaque on the floor of the car.
In 1976 he sold the car to its second owner who lived in Pinellas County, FL. The car was repainted at that time in its factory original color (Tan Lucite Metallic). New carpet was installed at that time as well. The second owner told me he drove and enjoyed the car for 6 or 7 years and then parked it inside his garage and basically left it alone. In 2003 he took the car to Lincoln Land in Clearwater FL and advertised it for sale. I purchased the car at that time and became only the third owner of this vehicle. Though the car had been sitting for many years, it did run and I drove it home to Tampa. The car ran rough so I took it back to Lincoln Land and had master mechanic, Eric, complete an extensive service to the engine and rebuild the carburetor etc. Not long after getting her running right, the reverse gear went out in the transmission. Back to Lincoln Land where the trans. was removed and sent out for a total rebuild. The car had around 60,000 original miles when I bought it. Over the next several years I added another 20,000. Over the last few years, I have lost interest in the car and it has not been driven near as much.
I have well over $20,000 in the car including over $8,000 of service at Lincoln Land (receipts available). About a year ago I had the car transported to Lincoln Land to have a new fuel line installed. I bought 2 additional collector cars and had run out of garage space. The car has been at Lincoln Land in covered storage since that time. The owner there is ready for me to get the car out of their way so I recently went over to take the photos you see here. Though the car had been sitting for many months, we simply poured a little gas in the carb. and attached a charged battery and she fired right up. I washed her off and took these photos. Here is the link to the set of recent photos:

The car is ready for a complete cosmetic restoration. She is very solid and complete. She runs strong and the transmission is great. I expect she needs brake work, suspension work and a new exhaust system. The factory air conditioning does not work and has not worked as long as I've owned the car. The original leather is quite dry rotted and needs to be replaced. The power seat works as does the power antenna. All the power windows were working but some of the switches are temperamental. I noticed when I took the recent photos that the switches on the passenger door were removed and the glass is cracked on that window. The original radio is in the dash but not working.
I had planned to sell the car a year or so ago before sending it to Lincoln land and I took extensive photos at that time. I am including links to these photos as they show many details and include shots with magnets on the car showing she is not full of bondo. While these photos are around a year old, the car really hasn't changed much because it has been in covered garage storage since they were taken. I just want to point out that they were taken earlier because I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to misrepresent the car. The first set of photos are quite recent. The dates that show with the photos are not correct. I don't know how to set the correct date in the digital camera and it is way off. Here are links to the photos taken about a year ago:

Chris Dunn, owner of Lincoln Land, has known this car since the second owner brought it to Florida in 1976. The car has been serviced there since before I bought it. I welcome anyone interested in the car to come see it in person and drive it. I am not trying to hide anything about the car and am happy to reply to any interested parties. I would prefer to sell the car to someone who has actually seen it in person but I realize that's not always possible. This is why I am including so many photos and will be happy to answer all questions as best I can. I have included detailed descriptions with most of the photos. If you are interested in the car, please see all the photos and read the notes. If you have questions, I can be contacted by email at
hclaywalkup@aol.com. I can be reached by phone most evenings between 7 and 10 pm at (813) 286-2500.
I have enjoyed owning this car but the time has come to let her go. She needs and deserves a good restoration and I'm just not up for it. I have moved on to other cars and now hope to find someone who has the interest and the will to buy and restore her to the condition she deserves.

Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.

Lincoln has already announced most of the trim level and option pricing for its upcoming 2015 MKC due out this summer, and now it has launched a configurator allowing prospective buyers to get a better idea of how this new model will stack up against other compact luxury crossovers. We already knew that the MKC will have a starting price of $33,995, but now we know that its price includes a destination charge of $895.
Models equipped with the base 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine come standard with the Premiere package - $33,100 for front-wheel drive and $35,595 for all-wheel drive. Both models offer equipment upgrades from the Select and Reserve packages. The $3,230 Select package adds features like leather seats, power passenger seat, folding and heated door mirrors and painted 18-inch wheels, while the pricier $6,935 Reserve package adds in heated and cooled front seats, panoramic roof, hands-free liftgate, two-tone wheels and an embedded modem (providing features such as remote lock and unlock, vehicle finder and pre-conditioning).
Opting for the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four raises the base price to $39,965, and it comes standard with all-wheel drive and all of the equipment in the Select package; the Reserve package is still optional. All models can be further optioned up with the $2,235 Technology Package (adding adaptive cruise, active park assist and lane keeping system) and the $580 Climate Package (heated rear seats and steering wheel, auto high beams and rain-sensing wipers). Checking all the options, a fully loaded 2015 MKC with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost will have a total MSRP of $47,715.

Lincoln has clearly been working hard to get the word out about its 2013 MKZ sedan. The Dearborn automaker has taken out lavish spreads to trumpet its boldly styled new model in magazines of every description, along with placing commercials for both the vehicle and the reborn brand behind it on all manner of television programs, including the super-costly Super Bowl earlier this month.
Pity, then, that Lincoln dealers don't have enough MKZs to sell. According to The Detroit News, parent company Ford has spent a good portion of its time at this week's National Automobile Dealers Association meeting in Florida attempting to pacify upset dealers who don't have enough examples of the pivotal new vehicle in stock.
As the DetNews notes, Lincoln only sold 453 MKZs last month, a whopping 73-percent decrease over the same period last year when the sedan's predecessor was on sale. In fact, the stunted supply had enough impact that Lincoln's January figures worked out to a 32-year low for the brand, just as it's trying to get back on its feet. This, despite the fact that the MKZ is said to have the biggest number of pre-orders in the marque's history.
