RARE DESIGNER CAR SURVIVOR - 1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass - 44K ORIG MI, image 1

ANOTHER ONE OWNER, LOW MILE SURVIVOR

RARE DESIGNER EDITION

1979 LINCOLN MARK V BILL BLASS

HIGHLY DESIRABLE MODEL
44,000 original miles

Sold new to Melba Spegal of Texas in 1979, this beautiful car remained with Melba
for 35 years until we purchased and brought to Florida last June. After many
years of storage, we have completed a refresh,
and now it is ready for its next owner...

Next to the 1978 Diamond Jubilee, the 1979 Bill Blass is our most
requested and highest value Mark V. We sell about 45-50 1970's
Lincolns per year and this is only the sixth one we have had in
seven years of selling classic cars.

The Designer Series Mark V's were Special Edition models starting in 1976.
Blass, Cartier, Pucci & Givenchy were the four designers and each edition was
unique in color and trim. This 1979 Givenchy is the only Lincoln with this special color
paint and leather interior, not repeated in any other Lincoln.

The 1979 Blass is known as the nautical car due to it's White & Blue color theme and
anchor buttons on the seats. Special gold pinstriping and was available in with a
faux White convertible top or the rarer full vinyl top with portholes.
Color coordinated turbine wheels were part of the package.
The Designer Series cars are some of the most sought after Lincolns
of the 1970's and this is an excellent example.

This car has just received a brand new dual stage repaint in it's original color
combination of White and Dark Navy Metallic. The original correct Blass pinstripe
was reproduced in paint. Full White vinyl roof and original Dark Navy Blue
leather interior. All original and in excellent condition.

I think 70's Lincolns are the best built cars of there era and undervalued
for their quality and styling... We sell more 70's Lincolns than anyone
in the world... and this car is ready for its new owner...

Now it will look great in your garage.

The car is equipped with the factory 400 cubic inch
engine, 2BBL carb and automatic transmission.

Ice cold factory air conditioning

Factory color matching turbine wheels and new whitewall radial tires

Garage kept, pampered and serviced, this car could not be nicer.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
