Up for auction is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier edition.

154,000 original miles. 460 engine, automatic transmission. The car has most factory options, but it does NOT have a moonroof or factory CB radio.

The car runs well. No smoke, ticks or knocks. It could stand a tune-up. The transmission works well. The brakes are adequate. The car just got an oil and filter change.

Mechanically, the car seems sound. After a tune-up, hoses & belts, and a better set of tires, I would not hesitate to drive this car across country.

Cosmetically, the car is presentable. It has been repainted the wrong color. There are a few areas of slight surface rust, and there are two small areas of surface rust just under the "C" pillar moulding on both sides. There is some very slight bubbling just starting on the lower driver's 1/4 panel behind the rear wheel. There does not seem to be any other rust issues. The floors are solid as is the trunk. There is one section on the trunk lid where paint has noticeably lightened, approx. 18" X 3 1/2".

The vinyl top has been removed and the roof has been painted with textured paint. There are no dents or body damage. There is one small upward ding in the hood, and the rear bumper filler has a crack.

Interior: The interior is in good condition. The carpet is good, no rips in the headliner, no cracks in the dash. There is one small tear on the back seat, and some light scratches in the leather in the middle of the back seat.

Functions: The clock does not work. The driver's power window does not work, it needs the plastic gear inside the window motor repaired or replaced. The passenger power door lock does not work.

The driver's power door lock is weak. It takes multiple pushes to lock it, but it unlocks with one push. Both power seats work, but the separate driver's lumbar lever does not seem to work.

The factory quadrasonic AM-FM radio works and the 8 track player still plays tapes. The rear window defrost does not seem to work.

The A/C does seem to work, but needs recharged. The cruise control sets the speed, but then it seems to increase speed on it's own. The illuminated entry works correctly. The power antenna works, but it needs help going all the way up or down all the way into the fender. The power trunk works correctly.

There is a leak in the vacuum head light system. When the car is started the head light doors close, but after the car is turned off the head light doors will open on their own after 30 minutes or so.

The tires have good tread, but they are old and have weather cracks. The spare tire is in very good condition.

I purchased this car a little over a year ago. I now have other projects that need my attention, so it is time to find this car a new home.

This car has the original window sticker, owner's manual and ownercard. The title is clear.

This car is in good "driver" condition. Please read the description and view the photos before bidding. If you have any additional questions, or would like more photos please email.

You may also call (503) 569-8045 8 am- 11 pm PST.

The car is located in Salem, OR approx. one mile from Interstate 5.

A $50 non-refundable paypal deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. The balance paid in cash in person, or certified bank check.

Winning bidder has two weeks to pick up the car unless other arrangements are made.

Thanks for looking.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.

2015 Lincoln Navigator puts on a brave face, offers EcoBoost V6 only

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.
