100 mpg 2.5 ton 1959 Lincoln Continental Mk IV convertible

lincvolt1Leave it to the radical hippie-liberal Neil Young and motor mechanic Jonathan Goodwin (and not Detroit) to reconstruct the original engine of a 2.5 ton 1959 Lincoln Continental Mk IV convertible into a new series-hybrid system. The car has gone from getting 9 miles to the gallon to now achieving around 100 miles to the gallon, and has been accepted as an entrant in the Automobile X Prize competition.

Neil also offers some advice on the site as to how to save a major automobile company.
