I'm looking to order a GT Premium Convertible for the wife with an early October delivery so when would be a good time to order? I'm thinking first part of August?

Thanks

I would order in late July to be safe. If the car is delivered early and you don't want it until early October, the dealer can hold on to it for one or two weeks.

Congrats on the order! I was considering going with the phase 2 upgrade, but was told only the phase 1 would be covered through the warranty. Does LFP warranty phase 2?

The UAW holds an annual two week shutdown for all of the manufacturers. I couldn't find any direct dates online for 2016, but my Ford source mentioned it would be the first two weeks of July...

Although from reading I see that last year some plants reduced the shutdown to one week due to demand. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks... What a bad time for it to fall.. I'm hoping with my dealership being only 20 minutes away it gets out of there before that happens lol..
Flat Rock is supposed to be retooling to build the 2017 Lincoln Continental starting this summer...

Also, there's a 1 week shutdown at Christmastime? (IIRC)

According to a post on BON the tentative job 1 of the Continental is July 11. So at this stage they should be building Pre-P units off the line. However an employee from Frap recently wrote that he doubts they'll make that launch date...

Thanks,

The Phase 2 or "Stage 2" from LFP does not come with a powertrain warranty... The rest of the car is covered under normal ford warranty... According to what i was told there "may" be a warranty available further down the road but not at this time...

Yeah looks like they're going to start the re-tool the week of 4th of July. I was excited because they originally posted that it was being reduced to one week. Unfortunately the article was amended and it's back to two weeks..

Plants don't build "off the line" - the pre-production builds happen right on the assembly line. That's the whole point of the plant launch process. Handbuilt prototypes don't teach you what you need to know to build the car in that facility on that assembly line with that workforce. Ford has a "pilot plant" in SE MI that builds the handbuilt prototypes for every model, but all the Continentals FRAP is building now will be built right on the assembly line with the Mustang.
