‘Round and About… Remember….you heard it here first!!

 From the Rumor Mill Sad is the day when the world loses a fine luxury sedan. And in this case, that luxury sedan may be the Lincoln Continental.

According to the Ford Authority web site, sources intricately familiar with Ford Motor Company’s future product plans for its premium Lincoln brand, the Lincoln Continental will be discontinued after production of the current, tenth-generation model comes to an end. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, and specific reasons why Ford Motor Company is pulling the plug on the model weren’t disclosed. The Ford Authority was told that Ford Motor Company invested over $1 billion to bring the present Continental to market after discontinuing the nameplate in 2002.

Read more regarding their speculations regarding the reasons for the abandonment: http://fordauthority.com/2018/03/lincoln-continental-to-be- discontinued-after-current-generation/#ixzz5ALn8RZkr

And yet……….

Automotive News is reporting that Lincoln plans to add suicide doors to a future version of the Continental sedan. This was announced to their dealers at the NADA show in LasVegas as recently as March 24th and showed them a photo of a prototype. This was part of an effort to demonstrate their commitment to their car lineup. The company did not discuss timing or details about the doors. Automotive News got this information from according to multiple dealers in the room who didn't want to be identified. The spokeswoman for Lincoln declined to confirm the plans for suicide doors.

According to Automotive News Continental sales have fallen 30 percent through the first two months of this year from the year-earlier period.

3 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Hi there everybody!

Spring is here!! Finally!! Time to dust off those lovely Lincolns and start your engines. Hope to see you on the road soon.

Be safe out there everyone! Anne WARNING MANUAL TRANSMISSION IF I ROLL INTO YOU, YOU ARE TOO CLOSE

e are very sad to report that our club has lost a long W standing member and friend, Tom Minton. Tom joined the LCOC over 20 years ago. He was a very avid car lover who over the years campaigned his cars at LCOC National meets all over the US. His den is full of trophies and memorabilia from those trips as well as other car shows and events he participated in as a member of the other two clubs he belonged to, the Chicagoland Avanti Owners Association and the International Station Wagon Club.

Long term relationships meant a lot to Tom. This even spilled over into his perspective about awards. Although he’d won multiple Lincoln Trophies, the Davis Trophy and the Emeritus, I never saw him more tickled by a win than when he got the one for the Preservation Division Award. Why? Because it had been the brain child of one of Tom’s friends and favorite LCOC members, Art Whitmire, who himself had passed a few years ago. When I finally achieved the Mattix Trophy with my own 1999 Town Car, Tom seemed as happy as I was. He was the reason I had begun showing it in the first place. My favorite photo from the meet is the one that was taken of Tom, my husband and I posed with the car and trophies in front of the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Tom was beaming easily as much as I was. Rest in peace Tom. You will be missed. Anne Zarzycki 4 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Lake Lawn Resort & April Fun

NOTE: No fees are charged for either of these tours. WOW! We will gather at the Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets, Pleasant Prairie, WI by 8:30 a.m. and leave for the first tour to S.C. Johnson Building at 9:00 a.m. SHARP! Here's what you may see on the tour: The S.C. Johnson Administration Building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1939. It is celebrated as one of the top 25 buildings of the 20th century. It is a unique work of art and is the only Wright commercial building still in use today The Research Tower was Wright's vision of a vertical complement to the Administration Building. It opened in 1950 and is one of the tallest structures ever built on the cantilever principle. The Tower was opened to the public for the first time in spring 2014. Fortaleza Hall is a contemporary partner to the innovative building of Frank Lloyd Wright. Opened in 2010, it was named for the city in northeast Brazil that was at the heart of two life-changing expeditions by the Johnson family and represents a commitment to the company's legacy of visionary thinking. Soaring at the building's heart is the replica twin-engine S -38 amphibian plane that Sam Johnson flew to Fortaleza in 1998. The S.C. Johnson Gallery shows a rotating selection of Wright's designs and artifacts and explores the legendary architect's influence on families and the American home. THIS TOUR STARTS AT 10:00 a.m. SHARP! and will take 1 1/2 hours. From there we will caravan to the Douglas Avenue Diner which is a family- owned restaurant with a nostalgic atmosphere that will take you back to the 50's and 60's. (This will be a pay-for-your-own lunch.) After lunch we will drive to the second Frank Lloyd Wright tour which is the home that was built for the family of H.F. Johnson Jr. It was named Wingspread when it was completed in 1939 because of its four wings that spread out from its 14,000 sq. ft. footprint - - which makes it the largest of Prairie homes as well. The tour highlights remarkable features such as the home's disappearing dining table, its teepee-inspired clerestory ceiling in the great room, and the cantilevered "Romeo and Juliet" balcony bedroom. This former home is now used as an educational and conference center. Wingspread was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989. THIS TOUR STARTS AT 3:30 p.m. SHARP! and will take 1 hour.

8 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Curbside Classic: 1937 Lincoln Zephyr V-12

Curbside Classics June 3, 2014

In the area of Northern Virginia where I live, well-kept classic cars with For Sale signs appear on the street frequently, and several times a year I encounter a classic luxury car looking for a new owner. I attribute these regular encounters to the area abounding with what I call “medium-old” money–solidly upper middle class people who were successful business people, doctors, and others who many years ago had the ability to buy fine examples of now-classic cars, often at the Carlisle, Pennsylvania classic car auctions only a couple of hours drive away.

Having watched many of these people age, in some cases with a classic car or several tucked away in the garage, I can see why many such cars have been emerging for sale in recent years. I’ve often wished I had a lump of cash and a large garage space waiting to be used. Two years ago, I recorded my sighting of this 1937 Lincoln Zephyr, a stunning example of streamlined Dearborn steel wrapped around the American automobile industry’s last production passenger car V-12.

The Zephyr of 1936 was a new departure for Ford and Lincoln, their counterpart to the Chrysler Airflow, as related by Paul a year ago. It began as a radical rear-engined, unit bodied streamliner concept by John Tjaarda, which Ford toned down into a less streamlined semi-unit body with a conventional front engine/rear drive layout. Also conventional were its suspension layout, which used the transverse leaf springs favored by Ford since the Model T, and its engine design, essentially a Ford flathead V8 expanded to 12 cylinders. Ford positioned it well below the classic era Lincoln K-Series, making it comparable to ’s lower-priced LaSalle line or the Clipper introduced in 1941.

The Zephyr lineup began in 1936 with a four door sedan, two door “Coupe Sedan” and a Coupe with an abbreviated roofline. It was a sales success, and the Zephyr line soon expanded into more exclusive body styles.

The Zephyr became Lincoln’s all-purpose model by adding a Town Limousine in 1937, then a Convertible Coupe and Convertible Sedan in 1938. In 1940, the Lincoln K-Series came to an end, and the Zephyr became Lincoln’s sole offering. In the same year, the was re-designated the Lincoln Division, and Lincoln introduced the Zephyr-based 1940 Continental that lasted until 1948 and which continues to influence Lincoln styling up to the present day. The Zephyr name lasted until the cessation of civilian automobile production in 1942 for the Second World War, and the model’s influence extended into the postwar era with the Continental.

(Continued on page 10)

9 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club The Zephyr’s V-12 soon developed a bad reputation. A small 267 cubic inch, 75 degree angle V12, later expanded to 292 cubic inches in 1940, it was unrelated to the V12 in the Lincoln K-Series, a much larger engine that displaced 382, 414, or 482 cubic inches in various guises. Sharing its main design features with the flathead Ford V-8, which displaced 221 or 239 cubic inches during the same era, it also shared that design’s problems with heat created by the routing of the exhaust passages, and the associated issues were much more severe in the V12. It was not uncommon to hear of these engines having to be rebuilt at 30,000 miles, and a significant percentage of Zephyr/ Continental owners re-engined their cars with the later Lincoln V8 to make them reliable for the long haul.

Undoubtedly smooth and quiet, the original 267 cubic inch version produced 110 horsepower, trailing the 125 horsepower of the new 322 cubic inch flathead V8 of the 1936 Cadillac Series 60 and the 120 horsepower of the straight-eight of the 1936 Packard 120. The V12’s reputation for heat related failure was an unfortunate blemish on these handsome cars.

The 1937 four door sedan that I spotted was one of 23,159 made that year, along with 5,199 Coupes, 1,500 “Coupe Sedans” and 159 Town Limousines. A side view best shows off the car’s streamlined style. With its fastback roof, suicide doors, downward sweeping character line, and rear fender skirts, it is a sleek four door sedan, far more so than its Cadillac and Packard contemporaries with their squared-off rooflines.

The rear view is more generic, reminiscent of a Cord 810 or a supersized early split window Volkswagen Beetle.

There is nothing wrong with the clean shapes and detailing of the tail, though. There are no superfluous lines, and the bullet taillight pods and asymmetrical trunk handle add subtle accents.

The Lincoln Zephyr V-12 badge on the handle still shows plenty of art deco style, even with much of its red enamel worn off. The streamlined teardrop shape and lettering would look out of place on a modern car, but are perfect on a product of the 1930s, when designers were using streamlined teardrop shapes on everything from automobiles to pencil sharpeners.

From the driver’s seat, you also see a fine example of 1930s style. Big round ivory faced instruments, ivory colored knobs, and chrome detailing in appropriate places take you back to a different era.

This Zephyr was no show car, with faded and rusty brightwork in the windows frames and other places. With what appeared to be a straight body, good quality repaint, most exterior chrome trim replated, and a clean interior, it appeared to be a light restoration of a basically sound car, with some labor-intensive details left undone. Its imperfection made it more appealing by making it a Zephyr that might sell for the price of a driver rather than a show car, making it more within reach as a potential purchase. With its 1930s streamline style and the cachet of a V-12, it would be a magnificent cruiser, even though it may not have any functional advantages over a contemporary Cadillac or Packard. I do not know what happened to this car, but I hope that it went to a good new home, and I continue to wish that I had the funds and garage space to make it mine.

10 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club 1970 Continental Mark III – Iacocca’s Crowning Triumph by Tom Klockau

Mr. Lido A. Iacocca is a polarizing figure. For some, he took all the glory, imposed his will at his own peril, and took credit for the work of others. Alternately, he was a super salesman, made his career from nothing, created some new market segments no one else had ever thought of, and saved a car company at the brink of being toast. Few are neutral about the man. But I fall a bit more into the latter camp, and the subject of today’s daily dose of Lincoln is why: The magnificent Continental Mark III.

That’s right folks, “Klockau” is in the byline and the subject is Ford Motor Company’s finest. You just know there’s going to be a positive push for plush Lincolns! And so it is. Well, what can I say. My Grandpa Bob and Grandma Ruby were Ford people, with several Lincolns and Thunderbirds through the years.

And in 1968, my grandfather traded his green over green 1966 Lincoln Continental sedan for a triple dark green Mark III. So classy! So comfy! He loved that car. One interesting thing my father recently told me. That Mark was the first one Bob Neal Lincoln - got in. My grandfather saw it sitting there and bought it on the spot.

Indeed, he loved it so much that he traded it for a triple dark green 1972 Mark IV, and that one was traded for a triple navy blue 1977 Mark V. Lee Iacocca was certainly on to something, and the value of the renewed Mark III (there was a previous Mark III in 1958, but Ford decided to rewrite history) definitely exceeded the sum of its Thunderbird-derived parts. The inaugural 1969 model sold 30,858 units at $6585 initially, later bumped to $6741. The Mark III was introduced in April of 1968 but all cars were officially 1969 models, much like all first- year Mustangs were 1965s, “1964 1/2” designations notwithstanding.

Ninety six percent of 1970 Continental Mark IIIs had air conditioning and tinted glass, and eighty-eight percent had a tilt steering wheel. I suspect the 4% of non-A/C Marks were sold in Minnesota and Anchorage, ha ha! A myriad of color choices–including optional Moondust colors, such as the Red Moondust seen on our lovely example here, were available, plus a cornucopia of interior color choices. In fact, more than anything else, I have always associated luxury cars with a vast amount of both interior and exterior color choices.

See, back then, most people bought their Lincolns, , and Imperials with cash, not a lease. They could afford it! And when you’re spending over seven grand-a substantial sum in the Year (Continued on page 12)

11 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Of Our Lord 1970-one was not going to buy a car off the lot. Heck no. You’d want to order exactly the car you desired: color, trim, options, sunroof, the whole nine yards. And most did. It was a different time.

Personally, the colors on this 1970 were just about perfect to me. I loved the Red Moondust paint, and the dark red leather interior too! The easiest way to tell a 1970 from a 1971 is that most ’71s received high-back seats, though the sew style remained the same as the previous year. I prefer the separate headrests; the high-back seats always make me think Mustang. And even that is not conclusive. When the high back seats appeared on early ’71s, many people didn’t like them, so Lincoln made the low-back seats with adjustable headrests a no-cost option shortly thereafter.

1970 and 1971 Continental Mark IIIs also received genuine walnut trim on the instrument panel. About twenty years ago, a friend of my father’s was performing some cosmetic restoration on a 1971 Mark III, and I got to sit behind the wheel. I was smitten with the interior: those instrument binnacles framed by real wood, and the Cartier clock with the second hand seamlessly sweeping across its face. This is the life! Imagine the pleasure of driving one on a regular basis!

The Continental Mark III not only stole the hearts of FoMoCo faithful, they also attracted admirers from “the other luxury car make.” And eventually, the Mark would trounce Cadillac’s Eldorado in sales–though Cadillac would still outsell Lincoln as a whole until the early Navigator years.

The last year for the Mark III was 1971, when 27,091 sold at $8421 a pop. Clearly Lincoln–and by association, Lee Iacocca, had a hit. Who could blame him for using past successes to create new ones, when he helmed Chrysler in the early ’80s. And the LeBarons sure sold fine–I remember many of them when I was a kid. Times were changing though, and by about 1990, the “Mark III formula” really didn’t have the sparkle and attraction it once held. The retro-Brougham 1990-93 Chrysler Imperial, while a car I personally like, just couldn’t stand up to the new-for-1992 Cadillac Seville, a tasteful modern take on American luxury. But I will give Mr. Iacocca a pass on that, for he gave us some truly wonderful Lincolns. It all started with the timeless Continental Mark III.

RADIO FAILURES IN 70's AND 80's LINCOLNS AND MARKS By Joe Esdale While servicing many of these radios and 8-tracks, I have found the following issues. When charging batteries that have been severely discharged over the winter months, the batteries have a very high internal resistance. Most battery chargers have an unregulated output that can approach 20 volts with no load. When a charger is connected to a severely discharged battery, this voltage in excess of 12.6 volts is applied to the car's electrical system. If the power switch on the radio is left in the "on" position and the ignition switch is turned to the first or "on" position, this excessive voltage is applied to the radio. Even a momentary "spike" in voltage will instantly damage components in the radio.

Typically these radios have electrolytic capacitors in their power supplies that are only rated at 15 volts. This leaves a very small tolerance for excessive voltage spike from a battery charger, causing these capacitors to instantly short out and many times taking other components with them. This over-voltage spike can also cause the nine-pin power amplifier integrated circuit chips to fail. These power amplifier I.C.'s are no longer available. I have encountered as many as three of these failing at one time in the quadraphonic 8-track radios which were offered for a few years in Lincolns.

Whenever connecting a battery charger to these cars, always be sure that the radio switch is in the off position.
