1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition.  NO RESERVE!!  This car will sell, so be prepared to bid!  I purchased this car from the family of the original owner.  It has 53,039 miles on it which I believe to be actual.  The engine is a 400 2bbl which runs great.  The car is equipped with all the standard options all of the Mark Series has, like power locks, seats (both), windows, trunk release, interval-wipers, cruise control, AM/FM/8-track radio with remote seek (working), rear defrost, etc.  The things which I know are not working are the passenger door-lock actuator and the A/C, which needs a recharge (compressor is free and connected).  Exhaust is new and carb has been recently rebuilt.  The car starts and runs very well and all the other options I mentioned are working properly.  It tracks straight on the highway and rides like only a Lincoln does!  One other mechanical component which needs attention is a bushing in the steering linkage which is sloppy.  It does not affect the driveability of the car, but is annoying as the wheel turns slightly before the steering engages the steering gear.  It is a common problem for Marks which I haven't gotten around to fixing.  The car doesn't appear to have had any Winter use at all as it is very clean and all original so far as I can tell.  The pinstripes are all intact and all the paint matches from panel to panel and is very glossy.  This IS an original car and IS NOT flawless.  I would call it an exceptional example of an original 34 year-old vehicle, but it does have chips which have been touched up with the correct paint.  It is not banged up, dented, or full of dings.  The original owner clearly took good care of it and I have had it in climate-controlled storage.  The original spare is in the trunk and appears to have never left as it still has blue residue on the whitewall and the seams on the tread show no wear whatsoever.  The interior is outstanding and really needs nothing.  The original floor mats are intact and the carpet is excellent.  The dash and arm-rests have no cracking at all, and all of the glass is good.  The rear-view mirror on the passenger side swivels around a bit and probably needs to be disassembled and tightened up.  I have done my best to accurately describe this car.  It is not my wish to mislead anyone about anything whatsoever, so if you have specific questions about the car please ask, and you can count on an honest answer.  If there are views of the car you would like me to provide, please message me and I will get them to you ASAP.  Please feel free to call if you would like to talk more about the car of ask me any questions.  I have been collecting Lincolns for nearly 20 years and am very familiar with these cars.  Thank you for looking!  -John 701-729-6839  Buyer will be required to provide a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end time.

Lincoln MKX Concept announces impending launch in China

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

Lincoln has finally dropped the details on the MKX Concept after a few days of teasing. Set for a very important global debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, we're going to have to see this conceptualized version of the third-generation MKX in person before we can draw any real conclusions on the effectiveness of its design.
One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The 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.

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.
