I don't blame Nakoa for his loss of interest in Lincolns. It's happened to Joe Sherlock, former LCOC Director, too. They don't interest me anymore, either. And, as far as the Mark VIIIs go, a Jag XKE has more leg width room. Jerry

I'm an average-sized guy, with a slightly too-big gut. I'm 5' 10", and weigh about 217. I say that to say this: I wouldn't keep a Mark VIII if you GAVE it to me, simply because the transmission hump has got to be the widest in the history of motordom, with the resulting...

Sure, who wouldn't want the performance ability of Cad's Northstar engine? Yet, I have to wonder how many buyers of these vehicles with said engine are aware that "the flat rate repair book" calls for SEVEN (7) HOURS of labor to change the starter??? Yup, it's "buried" deep in the...

changing the seats in your '59 1. An old friend once said to me, "It's your banana; peel it the way you want to." 2. Bob, are you bored with your nice '59 Linc convert? I mean, why change the seats? Are the originals no longer comfortable? 3. Personally, I'd be afraid...

possible engine swaps, early- to mid-60s Lincolns Firstly, I simply must ask the question, "why?". Is the engine that's currently in the car worn out or close to it? Is there anything wrong with the engine as an engine? If not, I see no reason to make a switch . . . . . and I can...

Not having owned either from the 70s decade, I . . . I have to wonder if the obsession with two-door models which began with the Mark IIIs, caused L-M Div. to focus their quality on the Marks to the detriment in quality control on the four-door Continentals. There's little doubt in my...

1. Reviews become less meaningful as time goes by - - - condition of a car under consideration is FAR more important. 2. Obviously the price is reasonable. If said Nissan is a good one - - i.e., not rusty/rotted, damaged in suspension or drivetrain, then it's a good Nissan. The...

Firstly, I foremost assert that if Chrysler Corporation ever made a Post-War competitor to Linc and Cad, they stopped doing so by the late 60s, or maybe the early 70s. Chrysler was dreadfully inconsistent with their marketing of the Imperial, going all the way back to the late 1920s...

1962 LINCOLN Continental sedan; black, incredibly preserved red leather and interior, very nice factory-equipped genuine walnut veneers on dash and door panels; A/C; 79,824 mi.; mechanically well-maintained: total new brakes; excellent front-end; new front coil springs; new rear leaf...

greg9807 doesn't specify a year range in his internal debate between a Grand Markquis verus a mid-Nineties Town Car. Personally, I prefer the slightly longer wheelbase and smaller, more vertical rear window of a Townie; but, of course, I buy older ones than most folkon this BB consider. No...

re: your '82 Buick LeSabre electrical system problem Crookshanks, I've also got an '82 Buick LeSabre, but with the 5.0 Olds motor. Nevertheless, the problem develops in the (main?) wiring harness over time---this car is 25 years old now, after all. Basically, there are some...
