SOME HISTORY FROM THE BINDER (Used by a typewriter):

“In 1976, Fred Smith, owner of Fred Smith Lincoln Mercury of Independence, Missouri, purchased this car from the original owner. This showcase vehicle was personally used by Mr. Smith for Shriner parades and other classic displays. During the twelve years Mr. Smith owned the car ’76-’88 extensive restoration work be factory trained authorized Lincoln mechanics was performed on the engine, transmission, electrical and brakes. At 70,000 miles Good Year wide white radial tires were included. Since 1988 to present, current owner has continued maintaining & driving this car weekly (weather permitting) restoration on body & chrome including clock, radio, mirrors & knobs all restored to original. Carefully and correctly maintained a grand representation to end of an era.”

From what I can tell from the binder in 1993 the car had extensive restoration again to perfection by Baker’s Auto in Putnam, CT. at a cost of approx. $30,000. Very little miles since this restoration have been placed on this car.

The air conditioner needs a new compressor as the existing one is frozen. All controls/fan for the a/c work properly. Heater works. The rubber seals for the top on top of the windshield are missing. The radio is not original but in working condition.

Please contact me with any questions or if additional photos are needed. The car is located in Fort Lauderdale Florida, buyer to arrange shipping if needed. Inspections are welcomed, this car is stunning in person, the photos just don’t do it justice. Very reasonable Buy It Now Price with book values much higher. Will consider reasonable offers only.

This is near flawless automobile and one of the remaining 2,276 that were manufactured and sold that year. These cars have been doing nothing but climb in value and popularity based on their incredible lines and the fact that they have been seen on television and in the many movies. These cars are nothing short of incredible to drive and enjoy and have incredible class and presence! Thumbs up wherever you go.

Car is sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied. Information herein given to the best of seller's knowledge. I am happy to speak on the phone with anyone, just ask for my number. Thank you.

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates

Mon, Sep 21 2020

The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).

GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China

Fri, Jul 5 2019

BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest internationalÂ automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association ofÂ Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and JapaneseÂ autoÂ makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative. Â New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
