I am driving the car and have it listed local as well. First come , first bought. If you hit the reserve it will be locked into you and will sell..........It took me 3 years to recondition this car to what you see. Alot of money and sweat went into her and hate to sell ....but times have changed..........................watch the video and you will see...... The Continental name was revived in 1955 as a separate Ford brand, with its sole model being the Continental Mark II. This version was a unique design with the highest quality control ever seen in the automobile industry. High-class luxury abound in the new Continental and with very limited availability, Continental in the 50' was one of the most expensive cars in the world with a cost of $10,000, it rivaled Rolls-Royce. The Continental was affordable by only the world's wealthiest, became almost mythical and was sold to the rich and famous. Anyone who could afford the cost was welcome. Famous buyers included Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Louie Prima, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Spike Jones, Nelson Rockefeller, Henry J. Kaiser, Howard Johnson, Henry Kissinger, the Shah of Iran, and many other celebrities owned them. The Continental division was dissolved after 1957, but in an attempt to retain some of the cachet of the Mark II, Lincoln named its top-of-the-line 1958 model the Continental Mark III. This differed from the lower-model full-size Lincoln only in trim level and in its roof treatment, featuring a reverse-angle power rear "breezeway" window that retracted down behind the back seat. The 1958 Lincoln was longer, wider and heavier than any American production car ever built. It was designed to make a statement, larger than that year's Cadillac and had styling considered by many to be excessive even in that decade of styling excess. There aren't many of them existing in modern time. Tony, thanks for the mail. I forgot to mention the paint. It is 8 years since it was painted,all the trim was removed and paint is Dupont Acrylic Enamel/Buffed....old school style. Looks very nice for the age and is still in good condition. I should have used the camera but these are with the phone..I would say it is a 8 out of 10. It has been inside the storage unit . I wash and wax it every couple months. As far as driving,would not hesitate to strike out anywere.Have been driving it the last few days making sure all is good so nobody will have any problems. New hoses and tires along with brakes. I will make a video next time if it don't sell this round for this is the first time I have used E-Bay and did not know how to set it up for selling. THE CAR IS READY TO DRIVE ANYWERE!!!!!!!!! I'm not selling this as a 100 point car but it shows very nice. seller added the following information: http://youtu.be/bWIMBfGQ7Tk ............................Car VideoOn Apr-27-11 at 05:20:11 PDT, seller added the following information: Please call during the day if you have questions.....

REMEMBER this is a over 50 year old car. I spent lots of time and money to make it right. but to answer your question there is no obvious rust repair.

THANKS... Q: does car have ac. ? any motor problems or motor or trans. leaks/? do all power windows work? any problems at all with it?
