1956 Continental Mk Ii on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
|
“This Continental was purchased from a local
collector car dealer in July 1979 and has been garaged and maintained solely as
a dependable “driver” by the same owners. The VIN is C56A1679 and the
Body Specs are 01-1F4M-113-5. Approximately 1500 of this classic are
still in existence. The car has been shown in various club shows and
cruise–ins. The earlier history is unknown but this car was used.
The brake drums had been lightened, and we replaced them. The original automatic
antenna is missing but has been replaced with a manual version. The period original dealer installed air conditioner is inoperable but is still in the
car. The tachometer and an original radio are operable. The back
seat switches for the rear windows are missing and somebody replaced the Leather Upholstery with the original colors. We have replaced the exhaust system
twice and the exhaust still exits through the rear bumper. All four
original hubcaps are included. We will include the insurance and repair
records; and an almost complete set of copies of The Continental Publication by
the now defunct Continental Mark II Owners Association as a resource for
restoration and repair. This car is ready for restoration.”? |

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.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
