If you demand the best then I have something for your. From my Private Collection is a very rare find. This is a ONE of ONE in existence with these options 1978 Lincoln Continental Williamsburg Limited Edition! A Marti Report takes the options a vehicle has and compares them to all of the others to see how many of your particular vehicles are in existence. Often referred to as a one off car. The report is certified and it did cost about $250 to have this prepared. This is the only one in the world!! My Lincoln was judged at the Lincoln Continental Owners Club (LCOC) National show as a 95.86 point out of 100 show car and won first place. I was even lucky enough to get the judging sheets used to review the car and I will give them to the new owner. I have the factory window sticker showing that in 1978 this car was just about $14,000! Now for the history of this Lincoln. It was a Special Order Lincoln by Betty Arnovitz which included the Williamsburg Limited Edition package and even 4 wheel disk brakes. The second owner purchased the car from 83 year old Betty in 2009. The vehicle was purchased by MJC Classic Cars in Florida who only buys the best of the best Lincolns. My Uncle is a car collector from Pennsylvania that purchased this car from MJC Classic Cars for $11,500 in 2012. My Uncle traded the 1978 Lincoln in on a 1967 250SL Mercedes I had in 2013. He drove it up 300 miles from Pennsylvania to Victor, NY. Back to my Uncle. Upon delivery of the car my Uncle took the 78 Lincoln into a shop he uses and told them to freshen up everything on the car. His bill was just shy of $8,600 and replaced just about everything!! It's no wonder the car received 95.86 points in judging. He is very particular and spent many hours perfecting every detail in his power to make this car the best he could. You can see how I had to have it! The car is amazing in every way! The car floats! The air conditioning is freezing cold. You really feel like you are in 1978 when you are behind the wheel of this car. It smells just as new inside. The leather is factory fresh and spotless!! The paint is brilliant!! The Champaign Valino Coach vinyl top is soft! The motor is so clean and fresh!! Under the car is very clean! The pictures were taken June 17, 2014. The car is in my warehouse and will not move until the new buyer picks it up or has it shipped so it's in the exact same condition as the ad states. No moth ball smell, smoke, mold, must or filth stink. These carpets have never been wet to shampoo. The car should be in a museum. EVERYTHING operates properly! If I had to really get picky I would say that the rear drivers side window is not moving with the regulator that holds the glass as it should. The car has a rebuilt carburetor that may hesitate just a tad. The car is a limited use vehicle and is insured with Hagerty Antique and Classic insurance for a few hundred bucks a year with full coverage. At the end of the pictures it shows the Marti Report, Factory Window Sticker and the $8600 spent in April 2012 at 55,000 miles. No extra fees in my auction. Clean title in hand. This car is a steal!!

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
Matthew McConaughey dusts off his Lincoln Lawyer jacket [w/videos]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Alright, alright, alright. Easygoing Texan Matthew McConaughey has enjoyed a career renaissance recently with critically acclaimed roles in Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective, and the actor has just signed a multi-year deal with Lincoln to become the luxury brand's spokesperson. The first ads starring McConaughey should hit televisions and the internet soon.
McConaughey's campaign has his pitching starting out with the company's pivotal new 2015 Lincoln MKC compact crossover. "Lincoln is an iconic, American brand and I like where they are heading with their transformation," he said in the announcement of the deal. The appears to be really throwing some money into these ads, too. Not only has it hired A-list talent in front of the camera, Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, is directing the spots.
Of course, this won't be McConaughey's first noteworthy ride in a Lincoln. Back in 2011, he starred in The Lincoln Lawyer, a legal thriller about at attorney would did business out of a 1980s Town Car. The MKC should certainly prove to be a much better driver than that.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
