Re: Converting 14" hubcaps to use on 15" wheels

So I'm at a point where I'm considering this upgrade. Unfortunately I had a blowout that did a little damage to my fender. Anyway, I either need to spend $1000 on a set of 14" tires, go with some aftermarket rims/tires, or do the 15" upgrade. I'm leaning towards the upgrade to 15" be...

Re: 2015 Lincoln Navigator Preview

Looks like the press just loves these smaller turbo engines. Check out this excerpt from a Buick review from USA today: In fact, the notion that small, turbo engines are the equal of bigger engines has become the auto industry equivalent of the emperor's new clothes fable. The emperor is naked in th...

Re: 64 LCC Window Relays

The reason that the UP circuit has the only relay is because the motor will draw far more current raising the window than lowering it. Another thing to look at, on my car which is a late 1963 (may be the same wiring set up) has a multi wire molded rubber plug for the up relay like all the rest, but ...

Re: Ugly, Awful 1983 Lincoln Concept

That is a cool looking Citroen. Let's face it they were pretty ugly in the 70's and 80's when they looked like a paramecium in heat.

Re: Story of Fernie's '90 Continental

There is probably an adjustment on this pull down mechanism right next to the latch, I would just lower it as far as it goes, or just remove the pull down unit until you get a chance to fix it.

Re: 2015 Lincoln Navigator Preview

Sure, there are those who feel that there is no replacement for displacement. Who are these type? Conservative hard headed folks. If these conservative stuck-in-their ways folks are out to buy a top of the line SUV to tow their boat or trailer, what SUV would they buy? Are they going to buy a produc...

Re: The 1962 Lincoln Continental Project

I will try looking at my parts car (a town close by). Good condition rear ones will be far easier to find than front ones !

Re: 64 LCC Window Relays

Here is your window wiring diagram: http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/wiring/1957-65Accsy/pages/3WD-422_jpg.htm It appears the down function does not use a relay, but the up function does use the relay for the rear windows. If the auto up down work, the relay is probably good ,but your wiri...

Re: 2015 Lincoln Navigator Preview

For the little I worked at a Ford/Lincoln dealership we always had the hardest time getting anyone to even look at one of these. Too big for me...I know seems ironic. You can see it in that driver's face, he thinks he is all that. 8) That is why I liked the over the top first picture, I caters to t...

Re: The 1962 Lincoln Continental Project

The anodizing is a pretty hard coating that would need to be completely sanded off, otherwise you will see the areas that are still coated and a line inbetween. The raw aluminum could polish up but will be far softer and will scratch easily. A member of the board here, Stu did have his chrome plated...

Re: 2015 Lincoln Navigator Preview

Serious bling. Not my type of vehicle, but for this market it is a nice improvement over the present one. Doesn't look like a Ford truck and is finally more masculine looking with some heft. I like the front end, as long as they don't make the Expedition look the same this is a step in the right dir...

Re: Peak Moulding Gap?

What do things look like on the other side? The small piece should be at the same level as the stainless trim piece that fits behind the bumper on the front side of the car. I am thinking this small pointed trim piece is badly twisted. This piece of metal is very thin stainless.
