Thank you for looking at our 1956 Lincoln Mark 11 I purchased this car 3 years ago from a gentleman who got it from
a family friend that passed away. When I went to purchase this car I met my mechanic, who works on all my old cars,
to inspect it with me. I was most concerned about the frame, because these cars are known for having bad frames. He
looked underneath it and told me it needed a little bit of work on the front frame but the rest of the frame was
fine. He put the car in his car carrier and said it would be ready in 3 to 4 weeks. Two months later, I called him
and asked "Where's my car?". He said that when he was underneath the Lincoln there were also some rust spots on the
main frame and he already tore it apart as a process of fixing it. I was not happy. He dragged his feet for 2 and a
half years to finish the car. Finally, he called me and told me it was done and I could pick it up the next day. At
that point, he had replaced the whole main frame (both sides), and fixed the front frames on both sides where they
went bad. And with all the work done correctly it was probably better than new. He also ran all new brake lines and
gas lines and replaced wheel cylinders, springs and other parts in the brakes. He also replaced the fuel pump,
tuned it up and rebuilt the carburetor.
This is what was damaged on the car:
-Passenger's side paint peeled off
-Needs a front window and 3 side windows
-Will probably need some new rubber in the door
Outside of that, it's good.
I'd also like to mention that all the chrome and all the aluminum is fine and there is no warpage in any door or
fender. When this thing blew up the mechanic ran outside and pulled the car out with a chain with his truck so
there was not that much damage actually done. I also would like to mention 3 years ago a new gas tank was put on
and 4 new tires that have less than 100 miles on them and within the last 2 months, I rebuilt the starter, put in a
new battery, and replaced the oil ring for the filter. I also would like to mention that I have the original radio
that goes with the car and the owners manual. You can get in this car now, start it up and drive it down the road.
It shifts correctly, the brakes are good, and there's not one rattle in the car. This car will need a total paint
job to bring it back to where it should be and also will need new carpeting and interior because the carpet is not
good.
The 57,000 miles are actual, it's an all matching numbers car, the title is clean as it shows in the slideshow and
it has the rare factory air conditioning option. Both front and rear bumpers are still in very very clean condition
for being 60 years old. We hope that someone will purchase this car from us that will restore it and take it to the
next level because these 56 Lincoln Mark 2s were in very limited production, and the ones that are still left
around should be restored for generations in the future to enjoy.

One more Lincoln MKX concept teaser drops before Beijing
Fri, 18 Apr 2014If the teaser video for Lincoln's launch of a new concept at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show wasn't enough for you, the company has now released a shadowy new image on its Twitter page. The vehicle may be a concept for the next-generation MKX, and its launch in China is part of the huge rollout to sell the brand's models there.
The latest photo shows off the concept's lighting, including LED running lights and lit sideview mirrors. The sharp edges of the lights give some hints to its shape. However, Other than clearly being a crossover, not much else is known.
The concept's launch supports Lincoln breaking into the Chinese market. It will begin selling the MKZ and MKC there this fall, as well as a midsize luxury SUV. A fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator will come later. The company will also build luxury showrooms for the models that will look more like high-end hotel lobbies than car dealers. Scroll down to watch the teaser video.
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.
Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.
