1958 Hot Rod Lincoln Continental Mark 3 Field Find. Weighting for Jay Leno. Abandoned and Forgotten

[@Dungeonmaster63]

I would love to it restored. To nice to part out. Great video.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you Edwardo. It would be an expensive restoration. We will not part it out.

[@dannycasler4959]

The wording on the trunk lock means it has a posi track rear end The glass canister under the hood was the washer fluid reservoir, I think that car had the 430 cubic inch M. E. L. engine, The fender skirts are probably in the trunk! You need to get that window up before the animals completely ruin the interior! You mention Jay Leno in the title, He actually has a two door version of that car! I like your videos, You guys find some cool old cars!

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you for the information Danny.

[@wwrunk5551]

Yeah, that Directed Power Differential emblem is just dang kool !

[@aloysiusbelisarius9992]

Yes, that was a 430 under there, without question, the first year of MEL Y-block engines (not the first year of Y-blocks, just of the MEL variants of Y-blocks). Also the first year of the largest unit-body car ever built (boy, was he off with that weight estimate of 4,500!! Care to try for 5,200?). The button on the driver's door that he couldn't figure is the master lock-out switch, that gives only the driver control of all the windows (helps when you carry potentially suicidal people or bratty kids in the back). If my guess is right, "Directed Power Differential" is fancy wording for limited-slip diff, which means it transfers power evenly to both the right and left tire, unlike a regular differential which means, if you've ever been stuck in mud or snow, you step on the gas, one wheel spins, the other wheel does nothing. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised that, if he was scouting for Jay, he didn't bother to really look more into the specifics of that car, because Jay has one. That air control he pointed to on the dash, though: I'm wondering about that, whether it was part of the ventilation system or something else...such as air suspension, which I know happened to be an available extra-cost option in that year. If that car was fitted with balloon suspension, then that makes that hulk all the more valuable and just screaming for salvage and restoration! But it's really cool to see these monsters, which make Edsels of that year look conservative, anywhere. I remember there is one (also a '58) in a yard in western Louisiana, near Rosepine; been there for God-only-knows-how-long, but I can confirm 20 years of that time. I also saw another one in San Antonio about 15 years ago, also a hulk in a junkyard. Then, there was one in museum condition in Copperas Cove, TX, which I saw in late 2002, at a used-car dealership. The next year, when I was transferring to Fort Hood from Fort Sam Houston, I saw that same car at the outprocessing center; apparently somebody with the five figures bought it.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thats one heavy car at 5200 yikes

[@aloysiusbelisarius9992]

@@pennyshotrodscustoms Oh, yes, and that's just empty weight. It was a consequence of the unit body that Lincoln chose to go with. The reason why they went that route was because, back then, there were some knowledgeable engineers in the auto industry who felt that unit-body construction would be the way of the future (go figure!), and the Ford engineers wanted to get a jump on that future.

that glass jar is part of the windshield washer system. today they are plastic then Glass. the engine is probably a 430 cubic inch motor. that air on the dash was for air ride....Another good show ....

I bought a 59 Lincoln Capri 4 door hardtop in 2015. It had been sitting outdoors in Wyoming weather for 14 years. Solid as a rock with zero rust aside from surface 'patina.' Got the 430 V8 running and had both the engine and transmission rebuilt. I rebuilt the front and rear suspension and went through the brakes. HIred an upholstery shop to do a complete custom interior. Showed the car at the Western Region LCOC meet in Grand Junction in 2019 and won "Best in class." Has the original Warwick Gray exterior from 1959. We call it "The Shark" because it's big, gray, has fins and is badass.

Father found it in New Jersey in Essex County. It was originally PINK. We painted it black in our garage...

[@curbmassa]

@@joelonzello4189 No, this one was in northern Mass. It was for sale at a gas station I was working at. It also was black. What a sled. Pink, though, boggles the imagination.

[@MrBenh1976]

This is what i found for the Town and Country buttons sorry so long but here it goes and its a mouth full lol This radio was made by Motorola. "Town and Country" was their answer to the Delco "Wonder Bar" signal-seeking radio used in many GM models of the 1950s-60s. The T&C had two scan-initiate bars- one for Town operation (only scan for strong stations) and one for Country (scan for everything). Unlike the Delco unit, the T&C would scan low-to-high frequencies and then reverse at the high end of the dial and scan high-to-low. (The Delco radio would only scan in one direction, low-to-high, with the tuner snapping back to the low end after maxing out at the high end.) A brief touch on either bar would start the search, with the unit continuing to scan until it found a signal.

[@robertcarpenter9204]

Should be the 430 three speed automatic, hefty 5400 lbs

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

That is a heavy one.

[@Ctrl-XYZ]

Mark III curb weight is listed in the 1958 data book as 5140 pounds for non-air-conditioned cars, and 5220 for AC cars. Convertibles were heavier -- 5160 (no AC) and 5250 (AC). Shipping weight for the non-AC sedan was 4888 pounds. Lincoln in 1958 was a separate, cheaper line of cars (mainly a different backlight, without the retractable glass, and different grille and taillights) offered in two flavors -- Premiere and the less expensive Capri. The car here is a Continental ("by Lincoln"). But not a "Lincoln Continental."

Even if you decide to part that car out you'd come a WAY ahead. Restorers in the big money restoration field are always on the look out for trim, grills, the smallest buttons... You should google the numbers on that engine block... they put some big blocks early on in the Lincolns. My brother put on into a 67 Fairlane and won a lot of cash street racing back in the 60's with a pal of his. But ya... the parts on that car are expensive to track down and you guys have a complete car there. Rather see you do that mid 50's Pontiac than restoring this one but either way... That car is so complete and in such good shape... wow. Very cool!

[@FloridaClay]

The town and country buttons are used to adjust the sensitivity of the deluxe signal-seeking radio. Signal-seeking means that you press a button to have the radio tune itself to the next available station automatically. The "town" button sets it so that it finds only the strongest stations in areas where there were then many stations so you got the good clear ones. The "country" button enables it to find stations with weaker signals when you were out in the boonies where there were not many stations you could pick up so you could at least get some stations even if the signals were not the best. This was a very luxurious car in the day that had all the then available "bells and whistles." It cost, adjusted for inflation, more than $50,000. It was top-of-the-line for a Lincoln and cost more than a standard model Lincoln or Cadillac.

1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III 4 -Door Landau (no center post), production 4,891. This car is in Starmist White over Claret with a 430 V-8 and 375 Horsepower. Largest unit body car (131 inch wheelbase and 229 inch length) when new. This car had a base price of USD $6012 when new ...so an optioned car could cost USD $7000 which was the price of a modest two bedroom house in some parts of the country then. Lincoln sales collapsed from 1958 - 1960 because the styling was very unpopular. As a result Ford's management almost discontinued the Lincoln division but the beautiful 1961 Lincoln Continental turned it all around.

@@pennyshotrodscustoms Sales of those Lincolns were poor in the U.S. so sales must have been minuscule in Canada. In the 1970s they were so unpopular they practically had no value as a used car.

I do not know about restoring it, but we may see if we can get the motor un stuck then get it running.

Wut bout that sweet chrysler imperial?

[@jacoballred7689]

That I purchased my Ford Mercury for recreation. Although, my friends and neighbors are strictly utilitarian about vehicles. But they don't really understand me. Because they're too busy of that self evolved thing.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

I know what you mean.

The 58 Lincoln had separate headlights from the Grill. 59's had the headlights as part of the grill. Also the scoop on the fender -door area went into in door further. It was and still is the Largest Unibody car built.

I used to think these cars were hideously ugly, to huge and just an awful car. Getting older has modified my viewpoint somewhat. I would not go so far as to call it beautiful, but I.think the cars styling has a lot of good things going for it. I would enjoy driving one simply because it hard not to notice it. As a whole, the style does not really work well, but elements of it are very cool. The original color as seen under the hood looks real good.

A continental not a lincoln for that year

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

You are right on the money with this one. I like the front end, but not the back.

[@americanrambler4972]

@@jamesgarfield1784 True. You are correct as that was a year of the Continental brand. Ford was trying to make the Continental a premium top tier brand. Part of that included many exclusive more expensive parts. The body shell this car used was exclusive to the continental and also very expensive to produce due in part its content and higher premium grade materials. (That plated and painted cast Continental script trim piece in the glove box was an example.) unfortunately, they failed. (I think they were way over optimistic on the market size for this cars price point, and did not stick with the plan to truly establish the following for this level of a car to establish its self. There is a market for high end luxury cars, but not for Ford galaxy numbers.)

[@americanrambler4972]

@@pennyshotrodscustoms I happen to like the back end design overall, but the trim panel the tail lights were attached to lacked the pizazz the front grill has. It’s like a swing, and a base hit instead of a of home run. But the way the fins, trim and bumper shapes cone together is quite elegant. But when you try and integrate it into the scalloped wheel arches on the sides, if does not integrate well, like the v shaped sides of the front bumper to the front fender openings. All nice details, but just do not quite connect and blend together into a seamless transition.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

@@americanrambler4972 You do have an eye for this.
