This
gorgeous example of an incredible vehicle has been stored inside all its life. This
Lincoln has always been regularly maintained and has currently passed
inspection. Here are some of the features; Cartier clock, vent windows, rear defogger, central locking (doors lock when shifting into drive), climate control heat and air conditioning (yes, it blows ice cold), aluminum wheels with whitewall tires (plenty of tread), power windows (6), automatic headlights with delay, aluminum running boards, automatic headlight dimming (high beams), trunk mounted power antenna with integrated CB antenna, hydraulic over hydraulic power brakes, original matching carpeted floor mats (the dark mats you see are over the originals to protect them and will come with the car), cruise control with steering wheel buttons, remote mirrors - the driver’s side is heated, dual - six way power seats, dual illuminated vanity mirrors with Hi/Lo settings, integrated factory Ford CB radio (it still has the factory warning label on the CB radio to obtain a license before using it), rare power moon roof with full leather roof (most sunroofs came with the half roof), with the original backup crank handle, two tone green dark turquoise metallic paint (color code 4B1) with matching interior, armrests and mats, QUADRASONIC 8-Track AM/FM/CB Stereo with cassette adapter and foot switch controlled radio scanning (a VERY rare option usually seen on only the collector series), Power trunk. The vehicle also has delay wipers and tilt steering wheel.
This
vehicle has always been stored inside. Every maintenance issue has been always
corrected; new brakes - including cylinders, drums, rotors and pads, shocks,
ball joints, Exhaust Gas Return valve, power steering hoses, all maintenance
has been done to the original specifications.
The vehicle also has a BRAND NEW Carburetor (not rebuilt).
History: The vehicle was manufactured in Detroit but
for sale in Canada so the odometer is in kilometers (the mileage I listed is in
miles) and the speedometer is in both MPH and kilometers as was common for most
American cars in the late ‘70’s and 1980’s.
The car was purchased new by a man who died approximately 2 years after
buying the car and his family kept it in storage for close to 30 years before
selling it to the second owner. He had
most of the work done to the car as it had been stored for so long (I have all
receipts). He only drove it sporadically
in the summer. However, since his career
keeps him busiest in the summer months leaving little time to drive the car (he
wouldn’t drive it in winter) he decided to sell it. I am the third owner and have owned the car
since 2012. I have only put about 10 or
15 miles on the car since; driving it around town to keep the parts lubricated
in the summer only as I planned to keep it until I died.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
Lincoln MKX Concept goes for the gold in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014We've now seen the Lincoln MKX Concept in the metal, and we've shot it with the lenses of our own DSLR cameras. And we have to say, our opinion of the concept's design language has improved over our initial reaction. Yes, it's clear that this MKX shares its underpinnings with those of the Ford Edge Concept that we saw in LA, but the changes made by Lincoln stylists are a welcome departure from the angular lines of its corporate cousin from The Blue Oval.
We like the subtlety of the MKX Concept's front fascia, and the lighting elements both front and rear lend a luxurious quality to the crossover's typical two-box proportions. When combined with the smaller MKC that was shown in production form late last year, it's clear to see that Lincoln has a specific design direction that at least seems visually capable of setting it apart from the Ford models with which the brand shares its platforms. Here's hoping there are some Lincoln-specific upgrades underhood...
Have a look at our image gallery of live photos from Beijing above, reread the press release below, and feel free to let us know what you think.
Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach
Thu, 15 Aug 2013With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.
