Lincoln Continental Mark V Series 1979 Bill Blass on 2040-cars
North Richland Hills, Texas, United States
1979 Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition All Original Very Low miles 39,683 Car was purchased originally by Rex Greene the President of a large manufacturing company in Chicago IL. upon his passing in 1989 the car was stored till 1999 and it was sold to a collector in Michigan who kept the car in beautiful condition till last year when I acquired the car. This beautiful Mark V has had a new fuel tank added instead of having it cleaned and the exhaust pipe was replaced due to a loading issue on the transport truck where it snapped a fitting so I decided to replace the pipes from the Y section coming from the catalectic converters. I also replaced the starter solenoid and a minor rubber hose which went to the carburetor. All the electronics work perfect Windows Doors Locks Seats - Vanity lights Dash board lights are like brand new bright greenish glow just like when it came from the factory. Radio Works and has an 8 Track Player. Takes me back to the Disco Era. Power Antenna works perfect. Easier to list what doesn't work on this car and here it is. The two front door speakers don't seem to put out much sound no idea why. Don't want to take the door panels apart for no reason. Still sounds great. Everything else on the car still work even the cruise control. The paint on the car is very nice. The white sections have no chips or scratches as you can see by the photos. The blue sides have minor surface scratch. Around the drivers door key hole there are minor blemishes. I would not try to touch this up its part of its charm. The Carriage top is original in great shape also original very white no color one little corner seems to have a slight lift and I will have that addressed this week. Carpets are beautiful and the Blue leather seats are like brand new, soft as the day it rolled off the assembly line. To many things to list here. I have additional pictures on Flicker click on the link below to see all the photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/121208097@N08/13345713843/in/photostream/ Feel Free to contact me with any questions.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
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 MKC
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Back in 2012, Lincoln claimed its comeback bid was finally underway with the new-for-2013 MKZ. But don't you believe them - the renaissance won't actually begin in earnest until the shapely compact crossover seen here reaches showrooms in big numbers. That's because while the four-door MKZ was indeed a proper step toward rebirth, the 2015 MKC is the first wholly conceived vehicle under Lincoln as a standalone brand, a move first announced back in 2012.
That's an important distinction, because Lincoln's newfound emancipation from Ford's design and development processes has given the struggling marque both the corporate wherewithal and the will to develop a more fully formed product. The four-wheeled result seen here is a surprisingly cohesive luxury CUV, one with significantly more aesthetic and dynamic separation from its Ford Escape sibling than the MKZ and its Fusion counterpart. Said another way, after flogging Lincoln's latest for hundreds of miles over canyon roads outside of Santa Barbara, we've come to understand that this is far from a re-grilled Dearborn special with luxury tinsel - it's a bona fide standalone product that readily displays the sort of clear differentiation seen in platform cousins like the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. It's the real deal.
