1973 Lincoln Continental Coupe Custom Beauty With 24" Rims That Match on 2040-cars
Rockford, Illinois, United States
The "Green Envy" ~ nothing pains me more than to let her go. A real original car with lots of custom touches. This car is From Texas and has never seen a salty road. I had it shipped to me 10 years ago and never take it out in winter. The 460 V8 sounds good with the dual exhaust... the car looks like no other I have seen. I get more compliments on this car than more people do in their top dollar sports car. Everyone is a fan, old and young. 24" rims purchased last year and had them painted custom to match. I do not drive it often and they still are like new. the chrome trim shines to compliment the large rims that fit this huge car perfectly. The hub caps never did this car it's justice. It does have a working alarm and a locking gas cap. Electric bench seat works. Has a CD player that actually is a DVD player with a drop down screen. It also plays CDs of course. There is an outlet to plug in A/C power... I did at one point have a PS2 in the glove box hooked up, easy to do... Nice dash with lots of detail. Old cars are the best when it comes to details. There are a couple light scratches that should buff out, I have many pics but you really cant even see them because they are not deep- very light. The drivers side window is not working with the motor but the motor does work. someone just needs to take the panel off and figure it out. I never drive in bad weather so it really does not matter- you can lift the window by hand and it will stay put however high or low you put it. I had the front bumper rechromed and remounted and it did scuff the rubberish thing that goes under it a bit, no one ever notices it (there are pics) oh and a tear in the headliner in the rear. material is there im sure it could be sewn or touched up (in the pics) Power locks are not working -- just trying to point out the few minor flaws. I had all the trim that surrounds the taillights painted green to match the car rather than the black that comes stock on all of them no matter the color. New top because the old one was white and did not match... basically the pics say it all. Look them over. A very impressive looking car. The interior is not mint but is original and in very good condition. I can't think up anything else at the moment good or bad. This is a big beautiful car! I have described this car well- any questions just ask. I can assure you that I love this car and will hate to see it go. I just never get to enjoy it and always have to pay for storage in the winter and it takes garage space and all else that goes with having a toy like this. Trust me I will lose money on this sale.

Why the 2015 Lincoln MKC is 'holding some powder'
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Earlier this month in our first drive of the 2015 MKC, we told you that Lincoln finally had a new vehicle in its arsenal worth crowing about. So with the compact premium crossover now finding its way into dealers, why aren't you seeing its likeness plastered on billboards and barraging you on television? It's because Lincoln is "holding some powder."
Those are the words of Lincoln's global director, Matt VanDyke, who tells Autoblog that the company is holstering some of its marketing guns because it's keen to avoid repeating the ill-timed efforts that blighted its last rollout, the MKZ. That vehicle's launch early last year was beset by various delays related to manufacturing and quality. The cadence issue was so dire that by the time the model reached showrooms in volume, Lincoln had already blown most of its budget on things like Super Bowl ads that ran weeks or even months before customers could check one out in person. It was a particularly trying series of events for parent Ford because the MKZ and its oversized marketing spend were charged with relaunching the Lincoln brand to the public.
Keen to avoid repeating the same timing issue and mindful of consumers' habits at this time of year, Lincoln is taking a different strategy with the MKC. According to VanDyke, "What we don't want to do is try and fight the summertime - people using television being down, and other mass media when school's out. New television shows aren't on." Of course, that doesn't mean Lincoln is sitting idle. VanDyke says, "By no means are we quiet during the next 90 days. This year, we're going to really spend the next 60 to 90 days using digital and social media, in-theater advertising and the like, and once we have full availability at dealerships, we'll really ramp up the advertising later on in the summer." Part of that early media effort includes immersive digital marketing like Lincoln's clever Dream Rides web experience.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Ford sets rules for dealers selling electric cars: Fixed no-haggle pricing
Thu, Sep 15 2022Are you tired of reading about shady dealers marking up cars and taking advantage of buyers? Apparently, Ford is, too. According to The Drive, The Blue Oval issued a warning at its annual dealer conference, telling franchisees that they have until the end of October to decide whether to commit to fixed, no haggle pricing or be cut out of selling EVs. Ford is far from the only auto brand watching its dealers make up their own pricing, but it’s been one of the quickest to act on the issue. Earlier this year, the automaker split its business operations, with one part of the company focusing solely on electric vehicles and powertrain development and the other continuing FordÂ’s gas vehicle development. If dealers want to sell EVs, theyÂ’ll have to opt into the rules for Ford Model E (the brandÂ’s electric business arm) — one of which is a commitment to transparent, no-haggle pricing. Once theyÂ’ve agreed to the terms and conditions, Ford dealers become Model E Certified. The automaker views this as an opportunity to push more of its network toward a model that Tesla and other startups adopted. Many younger buyers favor direct sales, as it limits the in-person time required to buy a car and makes the purchase process easier for many. This is undoubtedly an annoyance for dealers, but theyÂ’ve long been asked to make investments to promote new products and initiatives. The shift to electrification has required the franchisees to make even more significant commitments, and in some cases, sizable financial investments, to meet automakersÂ’ new requirements. Automakers, including Ford, have provided off-ramps for dealers not interested in making the switch to EVs. Cadillac saw an exodus of more than a third of its dealer network after it issued new rules for electric vehicle sales. Ford will likely see some attrition with this policy change, but itÂ’s offering dealers an opportunity to “spend more to make more,” so to speak. Stores already committed to selling EVs can promise to invest an additional amount – up to half a million dollars – to build additional chargers and invest in other equipment. Those that do can earn an “Elite” designation on their Model E certification and are not subject to allocation limits and other speedbumps that other certified dealers see.
