1957 Lincoln Mark Ii Base 6.0l With Air Conditioning on 2040-cars
La Mirada, California, United States
IN NEED OF RESTORATION - 1957 Lincoln Continental Mark II with Air Conditioning ready for restoration. This Mark II has some surface rust in the usual places as well as some rot around the front and rear fender areas wheel well. The is rust under the car as well. The metal rocker below passenger door was damaged by transporter. See photos. The engine is seized and I am not sure the reason. The car sitting for over 25 years. Needs some body work but over all very straight. This car should be stripped down and done from the ground up in my opinion but can be redone as a survivor car and be very nice as well. It is a great looking car but more project than I can undertake. The beauty is that it's all there. All the glass, all the chromes and hubcaps. The interior is in good condition for the age of the car. Odometer displays 40,375. I believe these to be original miles. The car had been sitting in a covered storage for over 25 years and had developed some surface rust. The car is completely painted over with white house primer using a brush to prevent the rust from expanding. The original color of the cars was off white / cream color. The interior as you can see is red and white (cream). Some rust underneath and some rot around the wheels. This is truly a classic with only about 3000 every produced between 1956 and 1957. Desired and owned by the rich and famous including Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, D.W Eisenhower, and Nelson Rockefeller to name a few. CAR DOES NOT RUN AND IS IN NEED OF RESTORATION. CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY. CAR HAS RUST IN SOME LOCATIONS AS WELL AS GRINDED METAL BELOW PASSANGER DOOR (ROCKER AREA) CAR IS COMPLETE WITH VERY REASANABLE INTERIOR. CAR NEED RESTORATION. PLEASE READ BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS |

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead
Fri, 26 Sep 2014It 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 MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
