Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2-owner, 1974
Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible, 460 cu. in. engine, automatic
transmission, 48,491 documented original miles, dark burgundy body color with a tan convertible
roof and tan leather interior. This is a
custom convertible professionally built by a renowned coach builder some years
ago. Overall the car is in great
condition and has been garaged all its life. Options include power convertible top,
power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, A/C, AM/FM radio, power
windows and locks, power trunk, power seats, power antenna, cruise control, tilt
steering, remote passenger outside mirror and lighted vanity mirrors. Most
options work as they should except that the A/C needs to be charged and the vanity
mirror lights are missing. The paint
shines beautifully and accents a clean, straight body. The top surfaces of the painted areas however
show signs of paint cracking – but this by no means takes away from how great
the car looks overall. The interior is
original and in nice condition with average wear. The convertible top material looks excellent
and powers up and down nicely as it should.
Convertible top boot is also in excellent condition and fits as it
should (2 of the snaps need a simple repair).
All and all, the chrome is very presentable with very little pitting. The bumpers shine nicely showing only small signs
of age. The stainless overall is in nice
condition except there are some dents on the wheel opening moldings. The car has a nice set of tru-spoke wire
wheels on it with tires that are like new. There are non-operative, decorative
spot lights installed on the front fenders that look nice. The underside of the car is solid and clean (see
pictures). Engine starts up
quiet, shifts and drives good. There is
a small transmission fluid leak near the pan area. No disappointments! IMPORTANT
... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!

sold "as-is" and is located in the Pittsburgh, PA area. It can either be picked up at or delivered

Lincoln scales back free maintenance
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Complimentary scheduled maintenance programs have been great tools for luxury automakers to draw in new customers, but some are starting to scale their programs back considerably. According to Automotive News, Lincoln is joining Jaguar and Volvo on the list of automakers reducing the length of time it will be providing free maintenance to its customers.
Lincoln's four-year/50,000-mile maintenance program first kicked off as an incentive in 2010 and became permanent later that year, but starting with the 2014 model year, this will be cut to just two years and 24,000 miles. This could make short-term leases even more appealing for some consumers, but according to Automotive News, some Lincoln dealers are unhappy with the scaling back. The move admittedly comes at an odd time for Lincoln, with parent Ford seemingly working hard to increase consideration among luxury buyers as it looks to reverse the marque's long decline.

Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
