This original So. Cal black plates classic is on its way to being a finished restoration car. I bought this car from its second owner in 2009 in Escondido, California. I still have the original CA license plates.
This is an original car with no modifications (original radio, tires, engine.....everything).
Since owning the car, I have had the body and paint completely redone by International Auto Body & Paint Collision in Murray, Utah, with extensive rust protection sprayed on the back sides of the body panels and the trunk.
This car was stripped to bare metal and was redone in correct professional fashion. The body and paint is very clean, shiny, and straight.
The car runs strong. It could use a little mechanical work (it leaks oil and fluid). I had the carburetor rebuilt, and had a new starter, coil, muffler and pipes installed.
You can see from the pictures that the car has been disassembled. Though the pictures don't show it, I do have all the parts to put it back together. I would suggest getting the interior redone to match the quality of the exterior.
I am selling this car because the shop that was doing the work for me closed. I don't have the time to finish this car so I have to give it up. Please, only serious inquiries. I can provide more information and pictures if you are interested.
Thank you.

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.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
