I am reluctantly offering for sale my beautifully restored 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III convertible.  I acquired this magnificent classic automobile from a well known west coast car collector in 2007 at which time the majority of the restoration had already just been completed.  It had always been a rust free California car.  I then proceeded to systematically take the car to another level by investing more money and an inestimable amount of my own time to lovingly bring this vehicle to its current state of form and function.  Virtually every component is new or rebuilt.  This awesome Lincoln functions as good as it looks due to the considerable amount of time I have taken to ensure that it runs, drives, handles, tracks, and brakes superbly.  If desired this Lincoln can be driven anywhere with confidence and it performs amazingly well.  Since being restored the only miles the car has been driven have been the test miles required to bring it up to its current status.  I would certainly consider my 1958 Lincoln to be one of the finest driving automobiles in its class and one of the nicest overall in terms of fit, finish, and driving pleasure.  Body gaps are perfect and there are no annoying squeaks or rattles.  I acquired this car to be a show car but more than that I expected it to drive perfectly as well and it was meant to be a keeper for life.  Due to current circumstances I would like to offer this wonderful collectible car for sale.  I will most likely not have the experience of enjoying the fruits of my labor but the next owner will absolutely be delighted with this fine motorcar.  I will sell this vehicle worldwide and have sold to Europe in the past.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements but I will help with whatever is necessary on this end to ensure a smooth transaction.  Thanks for looking.

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

Fri, 10 Jan 2014



In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.

2013 Lincoln MKZ [w/video]

Rebranding When Reinvention Is Requisite
Lincoln - pardon us, the Lincoln Motor Company - assures us that Ford is committed to its success. The awkwardness of the statement (which feels vaguely like your mother telling you that she loves and supports you regardless of what everyone else thinks) was hard to escape when we recently spent a few days with the all-new second-generation 2013 Lincoln MKZ.
Launched earlier this year at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the MKZ is a midsize premium sedan that shares platforms with the Ford Fusion (also all-new for 2013). The sedan's primary competitors, according to Lincoln, include the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Lexus ES Series sedans - each an established, accomplished player.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
