This auction is for a 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible.This car was in the process of restoration a few years ago when the prior owner passed away. From what I understand the owners son bolted the body back down on the chassis and lightly bolted the nose ,doors ,chrome, etc back on. He then sold it to a good friend of mine that bought this car and another one . He had to buy the pair to get the car he wanted so this one is for sale. According to my friend 95% of the car is there . We didn't go through every box and containers so I am sure there are some small items missing. The car has 4 new 700/15 firestone deluxe champion tires. All chrome work has been replated with the exception of the wing tips on the front bumper. All convertible latches and chrome parts are redone. Chrome knobs for the dash are redone. Deck lid latches and locks are redone. Top bows look new. There is a new gas tank not installed. I believe the brakes have been done and the car rolls and stops fine. The seats were redone in naughayde and is not to the quality standards that came in the car. He does have some new carpet material also.We have some of the old door panel and side panel trim that needs redoing. We have theglass, window regulators, extra windshield, radiator,transmission with over drive unit, steering column, dash frame, gages,radio ,knobs, the rare stop mounted tail light that goes by the licence plate. and some stainless trim etc.There are other parts also that we did not go thru. NO MOTOR. The body on the car appears to be in above average condition. Only a few small rust perferations need addressing. I beleive they was are in the lower trunk corner. Everything else is nice and solid. Of course you would want to go over the body properly but you have something decent to work with. The frame was sand blasted and lightly primed . We will pack everything we have in the car for transportation.This is the perfect candidate if you want to convert that rusty car you have , or if you need all the chrome for yours. Maybe you have a coupe or sedan as a donor to finish this or maybe you just want to make a nice gentlemans street rod.The possibilities are endless.We were going to put the car in storage but we figured we would give it a shot on Ebay first.Sold on a notorized bill of sale.If you need a title in your state we will register the car and with that and our paper work you will receive a title. An additional fee of $150 will be charged for this service. If you need more info or pics feel free to call or email us at 207-324-5568 days or 207-432-2862 eves and sundays

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
