This vehicle is a special model Lincoln Town Car that was sent to AHA Coachbuilders of Toronto,Canada from the Ford assembly line.It is rare as only 200 vehicles like this were upgraded at AHA between 1983 and 1988.This Vehicle,although sent to AHA for the "limo" upgrades has never been used commercially and has been owned and driven for private use. The vehicle was custom upgraded with a special interior which has special custom leather seats,carpet,indirect lighting,half roof vinyl top and slideout work tables built into the back of the front seat backs,much like in an aircraft(but designed better!). The vehicle is black and has a black leather interior with dark blue carpeting. The vehicle has never been wrecked or modified from the original build. It has all original wheels and covers,except for one center cover missing on one wheel. All options function except the A/C which does not have the belt attached. The heater core has a leak and the hose has been bypassed. All the stainless trim and logos are intact.The vehicle does have some rust behind the Lincoln logo on both sides.The paint on the hood and trunk lid is tired and faded but not rusted.There is some rust near the edge of the sunroof.The vinyl top has no rips or tears but does have a small lift about 5 inches long at the base where the trim holds it down below the rear window. The interior is in good condition except for wear on the drivers armrest on the door panel and the dashboard has two small screws where the 80`s cell phone was attached.The brake lines were replaced 2 years ago. This vehicle is registered and insured but not driven often and I want to sell it so I can move forward on an rv project. The pictures shown are of the exact make and model vehicle for sale, these pictures represent the item for sale and are not pictures of the actual vehicle.I do not have a camera of sufficient quality to take good pictures for post.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

Matthew McConaughey dusts off his Lincoln Lawyer jacket [w/videos]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Alright, alright, alright. Easygoing Texan Matthew McConaughey has enjoyed a career renaissance recently with critically acclaimed roles in Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective, and the actor has just signed a multi-year deal with Lincoln to become the luxury brand's spokesperson. The first ads starring McConaughey should hit televisions and the internet soon.
McConaughey's campaign has his pitching starting out with the company's pivotal new 2015 Lincoln MKC compact crossover. "Lincoln is an iconic, American brand and I like where they are heading with their transformation," he said in the announcement of the deal. The appears to be really throwing some money into these ads, too. Not only has it hired A-list talent in front of the camera, Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, is directing the spots.
Of course, this won't be McConaughey's first noteworthy ride in a Lincoln. Back in 2011, he starred in The Lincoln Lawyer, a legal thriller about at attorney would did business out of a 1980s Town Car. The MKC should certainly prove to be a much better driver than that.
