Up for auction is a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector Series, this car nelhas not been driven on road basically for almost 20 years. Its basically would get driven around the neighborhood a few times a year. I have the original book, and the garage door opener kit that came with the car back in 79. The last time it was plated was in 1989. This car is in very good condition but it is a original car, the car from 10 feet away looks to be perfect, but when close there are some things. The deck lid, and hood do have sun fade and should basically be repainted. The sides the paint is glossy and smooth but does have a few dings and nicks, the deck lid has a 4-5 inch scratch and a ding on top of the right read quarter panel from somthing in garage falling on it. The front has rock chips that have been touched up over the years. I did take pictures as best as I could of everyting.. All the chrome is in excellent shape, the wheels, trim, roof, grille all in great shape. The inside is perfect, and everything works, windows, seats, dash lights and all outside lights in working order. Only issue is the Fuel light is wrong because the "sending unit" is bad we beleive. I am helping sell this car for my grandparents as it was friends car that has passed away and no one in the family is good with computer. The car was taken very good care of, and starts upand literlly drives perfect. I was doing 70 mph on freeway and its tight and smooth, shocks are good, tires are good. Overall its in awesome shape for being 30 years old! I am trying to describe the car as best as I can, and I want to make sure people know what they are getting. I would prefer somoen to come look at in person to see the car before any purchase just so they can be happy. If you have any questions please let me know and I will do my best to return them asap.

Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."
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.
