Up for sale is my 2-owner, 1974 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible, 460 cu. in. engine, automatic transmission, 48,491 documented original miles, dark burgundy body color with a tan convertible roof and tan leather interior.  This is a custom convertible professionally built by a renowned coach builder some years ago.  Overall the car is in great condition and has been garaged all its life.  Options include power convertible top, power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, A/C, AM/FM radio, power windows and locks, power trunk, power seats, power antenna, cruise control, tilt steering, remote passenger outside mirror and lighted vanity mirrors.  Most options work as they should except that the A/C needs to be charged and the vanity mirror lights are missing.  The paint shines beautifully and accents a clean, straight body.  The top surfaces of the painted areas however show signs of paint cracking – but this by no means takes away from how great the car looks overall.  The interior is original and in nice condition with average wear.  The convertible top material looks excellent and powers up and down nicely as it should.  Convertible top boot is also in excellent condition and fits as it should (2 of the snaps need a simple repair).  All and all, the chrome is very presentable with very little pitting.  The bumpers shine nicely showing only small signs of age.  The stainless overall is in nice condition except there are some dents on the wheel opening moldings.  The car has a nice set of tru-spoke wire wheels on it with tires that are like new.  There are non-operative, decorative spot lights installed on the front fenders that look nice.  The underside of the car is solid and clean (see pictures).  Engine starts up quiet, shifts and drives good.  There is a small transmission fluid leak near the pan area.  No disappointments!   IMPORTANT ... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!  I have disclosed what I know about my car to the best of my ability and to the best of my knowledge.  The car is sold "as-is" and is located in the Pittsburgh, PA area.  It can either be picked up at or delivered from my location.  Buyer will need to arrange for ALL shipping requirements including payment!

More head-up displays are coming to a dashboard near you

Tue, Feb 27 2018

With the exception of Apple products — $1,000 for a freakin' smartphone? — one great thing about tech is you typically get more for your money with each passing year. This is particularly true with automotive tech: Features like driver assists and surround-view cameras that were once exclusively available in luxury vehicles now come standard even on some economy cars. The same thing is slowly happening with head-up displays (HUD). For example, the 10-inch HUD in the 2018 Toyota Camry is one of the largest and best HUDs I've seen in any car. And a big improvement on the much smaller HUD in the latest Toyota Prius. Mazda is another mainstream brand that offers HUDs in several of its vehicles. But instead of embedding expensive components in the dash and using a special windshield, the HUDs in the Mazda3 and Mazda6 use a thin plastic lens that folds down when not in use. MINI has a similar solution, but this low-cost approach has limits in terms of size and position of the images compared to traditional HUDs that use the windshield as a screen. We're also starting to see similar lens-based aftermarket options that can be added to any car. Last year I tested a portable HUD called Navdy that taps into a car's OBD-II port to provide info on speed and RPM and uses built-in GPS and Google Maps to show the surrounding area, display speed limits and route you to your destination. Navdy also connects to an Android or iOS smartphone via Bluetooth to display data from phone calls, texts and music playing on a connected device, and it's simple to use and easily visible in almost any lighting condition. While Navdy is still available online, late last year the company ran into financial difficulties, and product support has been halted. I recently tested a new portable HUD called Hudly that's not quite fully baked and falls short of Navdy because it doesn't tap into an OBD-II port. Since a companion smartphone app for Hudly isn't scheduled to launch until next month, for now it only mirrors what's on a smartphone. So it can be used for nav and other apps, and its features are very limited. Between automakers adding HUDs in more reasonably priced cars and the aftermarket filling in the gaps for existing vehicle owners with add-ons, the technology is becoming more prevalent and affordable. And it's also getting better.

Lincoln is changing the way it sells cars (for the better)

Tue, Mar 8 2022

Tucked inside an outdoor shopping complex in Scottsdale, Arizona, among various trendy stores is something one would’ve thought hilariously out of place not so long ago: a Lincoln dealer. But this isnÂ’t any old dealership, Lincoln or otherwise. This would be the Sanderson Lincoln Boutique, the first of its kind for FordÂ’s luxury brand. Walk through the big glass doors and youÂ’re greeted by a 2022 Navigator on your right, a 2022 Aviator Grand Touring straight ahead, and to your left, an expansive coffee bar. Vintage promotional images from LincolnÂ’s midcentury glory years line the walls, which is a treat to anyone fond of that automotive era. There are smaller seating areas elsewhere, including one enclosed in glass presumably for more privately discussing a sale, but the overall vibe is reminiscent of an airline lounge. There are also no sales people: Those on hand are salaried product specialists who get paid the same whether you buy a car or not. Oh, and baristas, there to whip up some caffeine free of charge whether you buy a car or not. That seems like a recipe for being popular with teenagers, but I digress. Lincoln is planning for other such boutique stores, but the decision to create this one was all on an individual dealer, Sanderson Lincoln, with the full support of Lincoln. And according to Lincoln President Joy Falotico, such boutique stores and their car-buying model could complement radical changes already happening elsewhere in the car-buying realm. In short, the ongoing supply shortage is set to change everything. Customers are not only getting used to waiting for cars, but also ordering them and therefore getting exactly what they want. ThatÂ’s where boutique stores come in. At the same time, Lincoln and its dealers see the value in not keeping huge inventories of cars that will end up discounted or incentivized. Yes, that means being able to keep prices higher, which is a giant part of this, but it also means theyÂ’ll be delivering cars customers actually want. “We donÂ’t intend to go back to the old model of (overabundant) dealer inventory,” Falotico definitively said. She elaborated that moving to a model where customers increasingly order their cars could increase the build possibilities and opportunities for customization.
