Prince Frederick, Maryland, United States

this is a beautiful example of an mostly original Lincoln MarkIV. Garaged kept always, lost storage two years ago but always covered, never seen snow, caught in rain a few times while driving. I've owned the car the last 15 years and knew the orig owner personally, his name plaque is still on the dash. This car has always been driven and cared for lovingly, pampered and maintained. I bought the car with about 62000 miles and now has 79905 miles. Over the last 15 years it was only driven on special occasions or nice days in summer it has been a toy and a joy when you want to show off because it attracts attention and lots of it. It's never been a "daily driver" over it's 38 years for me or the orig owner. I have a lot of paper work on this car, orig owners manual, plastic owners card from dealer for service, records from emission station, when that was still necessary etc. The originality of the car is impressive, I reluctantly replaced the carb last year to a edelbrock with elec.choke, the car now gets better gas mileage and a power difference I can really feel. I also replaced the water pump, fuel pump , shocks and brake pads on all four disc brakes. Other than that and a hose or belt as needed it is all as it came from Lincoln. Amazingly the upper radiator hose has never needed replacing. The a/c has been converted to 134a and works as it should the autotemp system is fully operative as is the power antenna, stereo radio w/8 track player, cruise control, power seats both sides with passenger recline, the clock works but not always. The minor rust issues have always been seen to properly and touched up as they were beginning. Mechanically the car is dependable uses no oil and leaves no fluids on the ground, the trans is smooth and shifts crisp as it should. the vinyl roof I would have replaced, I use liquid vinyl to keep it looking as good as it does now. I am putting a low reserve on this car and hope I can get some pics up but you can call me at 202-841-5927 that's my business cell phone and deal with any questions or requests you may have. call skip at 2028415927. A deposit of $1000.00 (not refundable) within 24hours of sale, balance within 7 days certified funds please. I will help with shipping if I can. Bid with confidence, this is a fine classic car and you won't be disappointed.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
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.
