I purchased this car from an elderly woman that drove it on a daily basis up until Ca required you to have insurance. It was garage kept however it did pick up some road rash from her driving skills as seen on each rear quater panel. The story is the elderly woman was a big Doris Day fan and she swares that this was her car. She stated to me that a car lot was advertising it in hollywood and she drove down with her husband and they purchased the car. At this point it is only her side of the story and I have no way of proving this. Perhaps I will call DMV this week and see what I can find out about the cars history. It does have the yellow and black plates on it. The car appears to be stock paint and interior. As you can see from the pictures the car is complete and it does drive and stop as you can see from the video. I had the carb rebuilt, new battery and water pump installed. We flushed the tank and fuel lines. The brakes were pulled apart and adjusted up so it does stop well. I noticed today the fuel pump is starting to leak fuel. The front windshield has a crack in the lower driver side. I tried to open the trunk because she stated the little letters from the trunk are in a box inside. I was not successful at this and did not want to break the key off. It appears all the keys she gave me are just for the ignition. The headlights and tail lights all work. All the glass is in the car and the two lower quater panel gravel guards are sitting in the back seat. I have the old pink slip for the car which is clean and clear. The floors are solid. Car appears to be rust free. This is such a great project that you could drive while you restored or do a full restoration on it. Please ask questions...let me know what you are looking for. Again this car is sold as a running project car however you would not fly in and drive it back home. Thanks for looking.

2015 Lincoln Navigator puts on a brave face, offers EcoBoost V6 only
Thu, 23 Jan 2014
Lincoln has finally given its SUV a facelift after seven long years.
Seven years is a long time. For the auto industry, though, seven years is an absolute eternity. Most vehicles receive clean-sheet redesigns within the span of seven years, usually getting a facelift of some sort after year three or four. Not Lincoln.
Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
Tue, 17 Jun 2014In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
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.
