1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car 34000 Original Miles!! on 2040-cars
Rosamond, California, United States
|
This is a '76 Lincoln Town Car Continental 4 door sedan. Car has JUST 34000 miles, ORIGINAL. Have most paperwork from registrations and repairs verifying mileage. Oil changed often, even though it sat most of the time. Beautiful canary yellow and matching interior. Seats are soft crush velour. Car is extremely clean for a 38 year old vehicle. BUT, it IS a 38 year old vehicle!. Wires etc look original, runs good but secondaries won't open, so since sitting for years, could use carb kit. Battery replaced, tires replaced, but sat so they seem to have flat spots. Cartier clock doesnt work, but rebuild job runs about 90$. Windows and locks work but all are slow and stiff, could use some lubrcation. I am third owner, getting it from son of original owner. Sold in New Mexico, now in sunny, DRY So Cal. Orig owner died about two years after buying, then his wife drove occassionally. When she passed, son, now about 80, got it. Did a few trips in early '80s, then parked it. It has the ULTRA rare spare fuel tank. I think it adds about 8-9 gallons to the 22-23 gal orig tank. This thing was MADE for LLOOONNNGGG hiway cruising, IN STLYE and comfort. Body nice, a few spots needing attention along edge of original leather, landou top trim and there are a few dings, hubcaps, trim, doors, some with not good touch ups, but all very small, chrome is peelin on shifter handle, and very small crack in drivers door armrest far front, un-noticable. Pix should answer most questions but feel free to ask. Interior nearly perfect, seats, headliner, carpet, dash. Trunk all original except needs one snap I think. Flip up lights work perfectly, no vaccum leaks. 8 trac tape player works and the "sympohony sound" is very good. Top is dry, very small cracking along seams, but VERY nice and presentable. Car is awesome at car shows, and I can NOT drive it ANYWHERE without getting comments. SEVERAL. It is like a time capsule. Going thru divorce and trying to get a house cuz of it. I would have NO INTENTION of selling it othertwise. Car is so nice to drive that it surprises you. With some lite TLC this car would be perfect. I just don't have time and it is a damn shame. Car is beautiful and fun. 1000.00 non refundable deposit upon winning, within 48 hours of purchase. Can't store long cuz of divorce, BUT could deliver it for fee, to include travel home. |

Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
2015 Lincoln Navigator
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
