I am a small private Collector and a perfectionist! I purchased this vehicle late Dec and Received it Mid January. The car was sold New in W. Virginia, garage kept and covered! The original owner passed away approximate 2.5 yrs ago and his Senior Son brought the Car to his home in Colorado. He told me his father was very fussy and had the oil changed every 2000-2500 miles. Which was very evident when I removed the valve covers to refinish them. There was NO Sludge or Varnish on the engine head or inside of the valve covers (Pictures are attached). I removed the radiator and sent it out to be flushed and pressure checked. I completely refinished the engine compartment, removed all hoses and incorrect clamps. I replaced every hose with period correct Hoses and clamps, I actually was able to find Autolite Radiator hoses with the double wire clamps I installed all New Autolite Ignition wires, spark plugs and Autolite engine Decals. I found a Autolite Battery Topper and had Red Autolite Vinyl letters made for the battery. I re sprayed under the hood and covered the engine blankets with fire retardant felt. The top of the Grill Shell had some fading, the top section of the 4 piece bumper and bumper ends was spotted with patina and some surface rust. I sent the Grill Shell and 4 piece bumper to a Top Quality Chrome shop and had it refinished (took 9 weeks). The Car sat from 2007 till I purchased it. Mechanically I had to have a complete new brake system Installed including Master cylinder. The fuel pump was leaking, the starter was noisy so both were replaced. The power Steering pump started to leak and the Steering box was squealing so both of them were replaced. The car runs very smooth and starts with a flick of the key!! The Original NEW Spare Tire is in the trunk, the Michelin Tires on the ground measure 10/32nds and are recent. The exhaust pipes have some surface rust and are very sound, the mufflers are recent. The resonators are older but appear sound! The Interior of the car Shows NO Wear, there are No crakes or scratch's in the leather. To the best of my knowledge the paint is original with exception of the header panel around the head light doors and some paint work has been done to the left front fender to repair a scratch. There are 2 pencil point door dings on the right side of the car, one being towards the bottom of the right door and one over the rear wheel opening! I bought the car as a 139,000 miles, there is nothing which indicates that it has this kind of mileage!!!, That's what Sate Motor Vehicles put on the title. I have full documentation original titles window sticker and buyers Purchase. order I am a Senior and am having some health Issues and taking care of 4 cars is just to much for me now. Ask any questions and I will answer! All Sales are final!! I have described this vehicle in detail and have tried to cover all details. I am not responsible for any errors or omissions! The car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this listing at my discretion!

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
