1988 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series - this car was purchased new by my grandfather late in 1987. He owned the car and babied it until he passed away in January 2007. Shortly after, I took possession of the car. It has been garage kept since new except for the last few months. The car has 63,732 actual miles. It has the 302 (5.0L) engine with overdrive transmission. It was well optioned with power seats, windows, door locks, cruise control, A/C, auto-dim headlights and premium stereo. The body on the car is very nice with all original paint except he had one scratch repaired on one of the quarter panels when the car was fairly new. The paint still shines like new. There are a few minor nicks and scratches. The leather top is still like new. The chrome is still nice with the exception of the rear bumper. There are a few blisters on the rear bumper (see pictures). The interior is still like new except for the front arm rests on the right and left door panels where there are splits in the leather (see pictures). The seats and carpet are nearly perfect. The trunk is like new. The undercarriage is still very nice, no rust of any significance. The engine compartment is original and has never been cleaned. The car engine runs good and the transmission shifts fine. It could use a set of plugs and wires (I believe they are still original). The car rides and drives like when it was new. I put new front brakes and calipers on it about 6 years ago, but the right front grabs after it has sat for a while, so it will need looked at. The air conditioning works well when charged, but it has a leak. I usually have it charged late spring and by fall it has leaked off. The only other issue I have had with the car is sometimes when driving at night, the amp light will flicker, but I never had a problem with losing battery power. There is also an extra set of wire wheel covers. I am hesitant to sell the car, but I am finding that I don't have the time to take the best care of it and would like to see someone buy it who could. The car is still very nice and looks like new from 15 feet, but it does have some flaws which I have described. The car is being sold as is. The buyer is responsible for transport. The car will not leave my possession until all funds are cleared. Good luck.

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
