MOST DISGUSTING CAR EVER! First Wash in 27 Years on Gross Lincoln Continental Surprise Reveal

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a 1963 Lincoln Continental that was left in a chicken coop for 27 years since Mother Day 1995. A few months ago Mike Zlotnick reached out to me on behalf of his 2 other brother, Greg and Pete to see if I could clean and detail their fathers car. First we needed to remove the disgusting and mouse infested Lincoln Continental from their fathers garage and give it its first wash in 27 years, without their dad knowing the car was missing. As you will hear in the episode, the Zlotnick family lost their mother to cancer in 1994. Mother Day, the following year (1995), while visiting their mother in the cemetery in the Lincoln, the boys age (9,6, and 3 at the time) were in the back seat when they were pulled over by the police for having the wrong license plate on the Lincoln. The car was impounded and soon thereafter put into chicken coop for 27 years until today. Hope you enjoy the Zlotnick's family story. -Larry

    Oh man, I've never thought that I would be shedding tears watching a car detailing video. It's amazing how well you tell these stories, not only providing valuable informations about the technics you use, but also giving us all this context, interesting anecdotes, with even going to the extent of asking the family for the old photographs etc. This coupled with your extraordinary attention to details and wonderfully balanced editing really sets you apart from any other detailing channel out there. I wish all the best for you and for the Zlotnick family! Greetings from Poland

    I restored 6 of these suicide door Lincolns. You have to be impressed by the quality of the build. The sticker " danger " is owner added, as is the Continental star on the front fender side ahead of the wheel. If the leather hasn't dried out you can simply redye it using SEM aerosol leather and vinyl dyes - a permanent solution. The automatic headlight dimmer mounted on the dash was sometimes called " The Magic Eye " If this car is going back into daily use, the VERY first thing to do is convert the single brake master cylinder to dual. Immediately if not sooner. These cars weigh 6000 lbs.

Not to mention the additional toll on Larry’s family life. Saying all that these “ rescue” episodes are welcomed all the time. Not just entertaining either but instructive..that’s real magic. Relatable to me as I take on these tasks on occasion in my area. I’ve even done a few for free as surprises for worthy community people like a school teacher next door who left her car out one summer while off island.

    The 1961 Lincoln Continental won the Bronze Metal by the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) of New York. IDI seldom, if ever, bestowed this award to a car and its design team but they found this styling outstanding. The Lincoln also won Car Life's Engineering Excellence Award. The 1961 Lincoln Continental shared front end styling with the 1961 Thunderbird. The design was revised for 1962 and changed very little until 1970. The 1961 styling was much better looking in my opinion. The last traditional sized Lincoln Continental Town Car rolled off the assembly line in 1979. From 1961 thru 1979, this styling served Lincoln quite well. You can still see styling ques from 1961 in all subsequent Lincolns thru 1979. If you have never driven a big Lincoln, you have missed out on an exceptional experience. Lincoln - What A Luxury Car Should Be

As gross as some of the bio-hazards I've seen you work on, have been, I find an odd satisfaction in you bringing those neglected cars back. I hate how you always have to pull back how far you want to take each project, when we all know you're dying to make each and every detail job perfect. Keep up the great work! Love your products!

    I restored and own a 1963 Lincoln sedan. There is NO LINCOLN STAR on the front fenders. Def a damage repair or the owner wanted to add it. Also, I'm certain that is not a 1963 interior. Swap out or a re-upholstered interior. 63 Lincolns do not have buttons in the leather upholstery. Incorrect carpet. 63 Lincolns have a loop nylon, not a cut pile or what most people would think of as shag. This vid made me tear up as my dad helped me with the resto. WELL DONE LARRY!

    Larry, since you do a fair amount of these barn/garage/coop finds, have you considered keeping a 5# CO2 tank on hand for the tires? Throw a fixed regulator on it along with a nice coiled hose and you have a very clean travel kit for try to get those tires bumped up enough to roll out of where they were hidden. Much much lighter than any compressor and zero need for electric or even a generator.

    Great video and a job well done! The label on the inside windshield frame is not original; it was done with a Dyma labeler. The top mechanism is completely automatic, including releasing the windshield latches, so some owner put that label on to be sure no one crushed their fingers. The car was repainted, as evidenced by the overspray on the hood bumpers, the manufacturing plate in the door jamb and the over-sprayed door latches. The seats are from a '64. Thanks for a great video.

    Beautiful work Larry, you are the master. I suddenly felt old when you didn't know what that "thing" on top of the dashboard was. They were an automatic headlight dimmer known as an Autronic Eye, made for Ford, GM and most likely others by Guide. Very common from the early 1950's on through the '60's on Cadillacs, Lincolns, Oldsmobiles and others. They were useful before the Interstate became the norm, to dim headlights on two lane highways.

    And my third comment (so few Lincolns, I rarely can flex in my area of expertise) The device on the dashboard was called an Autronic Eye, as as you said, it was an auto-dimming light amplification sensor, connected to a relay to the high beams. They first came out in the mid fifties, and Ford was buying the license from GM to use them on Lincolns (technically Continental, since the first year and a half of Mark II's were branded as only Continental, later merged in with Lincoln. I believe the first use of the Autronic eye was in 1957 on the Continental Mark II. Lincoln has a weird history with using GM components on Lincoln, all for the same of reliability and quietness, such as the Saginaw PS pump used from 72 onward, window motors and gears (ACDelco), radios, antenna motors and many other parts. This was the era (61-74) where Lincoln was focused on quality and comfort above all else, even if the component may not have been a FoMoCo part. It didnt matter, as long as it was quieter and better. Also, this was the era of no "change for the sake of change." Lincoln only changed designs if there was an issue or problem. resulting in long stretches for external parts, even identical model years (66-67, with only difference being fender Crosshair logo on one, but not the other, and 77-78 with no visible differences at all). The design team for the 1970 Continental had fought A LOT with Ford HQ, wanting to make something timeless and unique, without further changes, and was shot given the green light, up to the tail lights, which had to be as they came out, with Ford finally giving in by 72 (same as 73) with a sleaker, three lamp setup, with no divisions over the red lens, and integrated reflector/lens). It was a compromise to the one single red lens across the width of the car, a la Thunderbird, which initially was supposed to be a Lincoln 2 door, (which can also be seen in the 61 Continental and the design language used). As a note, the design did change mid decade for the 60s, and that was the 65 Continental which was seen as a massive failure, as it looked too much like a Mercury. Eventually Mercury kept that design look to the end of the decade, but Lincoln needed its onw look, resulting in the 66, which was a gorgeous looking car, despite the significant size increase. Its no wonder they kept it the same for the following year. The late 60s were a love/hate look (I personally like them) which was done deliberately in anticipation of the new body on frame 1970. Ford I suspect wanted to release it in 1970, new for the new decade, and one year later milk the hype as it was Lincoln's 50's anniversary. Lincoln would keep the start of the decade for all major releases up to 1990 (1980 Mark VI, 1990 Car of the Year, Town Car). Another interesting thing is that this prequel design is also seen with the late model Camaro/Trans Am going from 2nd gen to 3rd gen. I would not be surprise to know that design team members from Lincoln may have gone off to GM and hinted at this technique, hinting at the future model, since in both cases, the design cues were intended and looked better on the subsequent models (For Lincoln it was the grill, being raised from the level of the headlight bezels, and the rear door "Kickup", for F bodies is was the tail lights, and rear fascia, rear spoiler, and ground effects as well as interior cues. Going back to the Continental, Lincoln always wanted to have unique engines, not available for Ford or Mercury, thus having the 430 (what's in this car here), then the 462 for later 60s. In 1968 the computer designed 460 was released, and stay a Lincoln exclussive (shown by the Lincoln sticker on the air cleaner housing cover) until 1972 mid-year when it was offered as an option for the full size wagons by Ford and Mercury (Country Squire and Colony Park) and the oddball Ranchero pickup/car thing. Funny how 72 had the "Ford 460 4V" sticker on the air cleaner vs the Lincoln sticker, showing that Ford already decided that it would offer the engine in other applications, eventually making its way into anything that could fit it under the hood. It was the last Lincoln specific motor, going up to 1996 in pickups. Im rambling enough, and you probably won't see it. Just excuse my indulgence. Im an old broken guy, reliving and sharing some useless tidbits about these cars. (PS My area of specialty is early 70s Continentals, as far as fixing as well as assessing originality)

    This brings back lots of memories. My grandfather was a Ford exec. He had a new Lincoln every year, my aunt had a beautiful black hard top Continental, and her sister had a white 59’ Cadillac. Those were the days when cars were eye catching, and an adventure driving. When I was perhaps 4 or 5, I loved pulling down the center arm rest in the back seat, and riding on it so I could see where we were going. Also, when my dad was washing his 68’ Mercury, it was my job to wash the caps, and clean the white walls with and SOS pad. I miss those cars. I remember when the Mustang came out, my grandfather decided to give up his Lincoln, and try it out. He said after a week of going back and forth to work over a few railroad crossings, he had to have another Lincoln. He was unimpressed with how the Mustang rode.
