1961 Lincoln
Up for auction is a beautiful example of the first year Lincoln ever made with the infamous suicide doors. This is a matching number's car with the original engine, trans, and correct paint & interior colors. It has been owned by one other family here in SoCal besides myself and always stored indoors. Less than 3% of all Lincolns built from 1961-1965 were factory black cars and this is one of them (Paint code-A Presidential Black and interior code-20 black/white cloth & leather upholstery). Absolutely zero rust issues anywhere and all original body panels throughout. California car since the early 60's with original Black plates. I have a ton of paperwork and maintenance records including an original assembly manual for the car. The previous owner was maticulous about the maintenance on this Lincoln and kept notes of all the work done to it over the years. Everything works as it should including ICE-Cold A/C, all electrical components, dash guages, wipers, all 4 power windows (new motors just installed), power seat, power door locks, interior lights, cigarette lighter, exterior lights, trunk light, turn signals, ect.. The factory AM radio is the only thing that needs attention, it works but needs new speakers.
The original 430 engine and automatic trans were pulled out back in 2005 and completely rebuilt. The powertrain now has about 20k weekend miles since the rebuild. Starts right up on first key turn and shifts very smooth into all 3 gears. Everything on the rebuild is stock except for an upgraded electric fuel pump that was recently installed and it has also been converted from a stock generator to a new style alternator. I also just had the carburator professionally rebuilt last week. The differential was pulled out and overhauled about 6 months ago as well. Cruises at 80mph on the highway without hesitation and has excellent power for such a large car. Power brakes and power steering work perfect and the car drives with great ease around town.
All the chrome trim is original to the car and in excellent shape. Nothing has been re-chromed, it's just been polished over the years and taken good care of. The interior is nice and clean and the headliner and carpet were just replaced last month. Original glass all around in excellent shape with 5% Limo tint professionally installed. Car was repainted several years ago by previous owner and still looks good. There are some minor paint imperfections and tiny chips from average use over the years but nothing major and as you can see in the pics she still shines beautifully.
The Lincoln has one of a kind custom 20" wheels built specially for the car (they cost $2500). The wheels were made to look very streamline and even the valve stems are hidden on the inside. They fit perfect and have no rubbing issues. Brand new low profile Yokohama tires just installed with less than 1000 miles on them. I still have the original wheels and hub caps and will include them with the car if the new owner wants them.
This car turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever I take it. I often get stopped and asked if it's the car from the movie "In Time". The Lincoln Continental's built for that movie were also 61's and have the same style wheels. Here's your chance to own an iconic American Luxury sedan that will only appriciate in value as time goes on. I have a clean California title in hand ready to be transferred to the new owner.
Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.

General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac." "They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars. During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."

When the Lincoln MKC Concept debuted back in January, it received fairly positive feedback from both Autoblog editors and readers alike, and this bodes well for the production version of the luxury crossover judging by these latest spy shots. Reader Ivan Lo captured a few pictures of some MKC prototypes driving around with minimal camouflage, which gives us our best look yet at the design of this new Escape-based Lincoln. Based on the spy shots from back in May, we already knew that the production MKC would sport some real door handles, a little side cladding and bigger door mirrors, but these latest shots also show us that the rear quarter windows have been enlarged and the integrated dual exhaust outlets have been replaced by round pipes. This means that the MKC will retain the concept's narrow headlights and what is arguably Lincoln's best execution of its split-wing grille. Even better, the rear view confirms the stylish horizontal taillights will remain intact, as well as the Audi-like wraparound liftgate. Since the entire taillight assembly rises along with the liftgate, redundant lights were also added into the rear fascia. Unfortunately, the low angle of these spy shots leaves us without a view of the interior, but based on its looks alone, the MKC is shaping up to be a promising vehicle for a brand that so badly needs some fresh metal.
