1981 Lincoln Mark Vi Base Sedan 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Bohemia, New York, United States
Up for sale is my Cartier Designer Series 1981, 81 Continental MK VI, Mark VI 2 Door Coupe. The Cartier color scheme for this year was Medium Pewter Metallic Paint, Medium Pewter Leather seats and Steering Wheel and Medium Pewter Vinyl Roof with Maroon Wrapover molding and a single Dark Red Painted Accent Stripe. This car is LOADED with Factory Optional Features: Lighted Entry with Exterior Driver Door Mounted, 'Keyless Entry" keypad and Illuminated Door Lock Key Cylinders, Power Windows with Minivent feature, Power Factory Moonroof, Power Automatic Locking Door Locks, Twin Comfort Lounge 8 way Power Front Reclining Seats, Twilight Sentinal Automatic Hidden Headlights with Auto High Beam Dimmer, Large Single Round Coach Parking Lamps built into each Headlamp Door Cover, Tilt Wheel, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Power Trunk Release, Power Antenna, Digital AM FM CASSETTE Radio with Premium Sound Feature, Automatic Climate Control, Digital Dash, Electronic Trip Computer, Electronic Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Cable Remote Right and Left Side View Mirrors, Right and Left Door Armrest Storage Compartments, Lacey Aluminium Spooked Wheels. I bought this car in April 2001, at the Carlilse Pennsylvania Car Show with only 73000 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge, this is an all original un-restored, untouched survivor. The interior is beautiful with the exception of the top of the back seat (See Photo). The Dash Pad and Speaker Grills are in great shape as are the original Cartier Floor Mats (See Photo). Everything seems to be in working order. The body is straight and untouched with only a minor ding seen here and there. There are no major dents, scratches, chips, gouges, or rust to speak of. However as you can see in the pictures the clear coat paint finish is starting to go which is typical of cars from this era, but it is NOT flaking or peeling. The chrome is showing signs of wear as well. The engine compartment is in great shape along with the trunk interior showing its original un-used mini spare and bumper jack. I did not use this car too much at all. The odometer is showing only 79400 miles now. In the 6000 miles I have driven it over the past 13 years it has always been garage kept. I have never driven it in the snow or salty road conditions and it has seen very little rain. I believe it's been off the road since 2003 or 2004. I would go and start it on a regular basis and take it out for an occasional ride every few months weather permitting. I recently replaced the battery after the winter and she started right up, drove her out of the garage, gave her a bath and went for a ride. The brakes felt a little low and spongy which may require a good bleeding. I would recommend changing all fluids and filters as routine servicing maintenance by the new owner for piece of mind. This 1981 Continental Mark VI 2door Cartier Designer Series by Lincoln and the Ford Motor Company, VIN : 1MRBP95F1BY640726 is being sold in "AS IS" condition with no warranties guarantees or returns promised or implied. Feel free to call or text 516-848-3159 with any questions. You are welcome to stop by or send someone in your behalf for a personal hands on inspection.

Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
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."
