You are viewing a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV in bullion gold with corresponding leather interior. It is a two-owner, 44K mile automobile with a strong 460 cu in motor and all the power accesories, recently fitted with new whitewalls. It is unrestored and as close to flawless as can be imagined and I urge anyone serious about acquiring it to come look at it in person, as it will astound you. The paintwork is the best I have ever seen and it has to be one of the most impressive Mark IV's in the nation. It is literally the color of a bar of gold. Pay particular attention to the photograph I took of it in my garage. I had just parked and was walking away to get the cover and actually stopped in my tracks and knew I had to try to capture the incredible brilliance of the color and the shine of both the paint and all that stunning chrome. And as I sit here I'm not sure a camera can truly do justice to the way this car almost glows of its own internally generated radiance.

I've also included a photo of a brake rotor and caliper I took when the tires were being put on to give you an indication of just how well-preserved this car is in every way. And additionally, I was even able to locate the build sheet less than a week ago, which will allow you to trace the originality of this car much more thoroughly than you otherwise could. Its a heck of a treat to find a piece of documentation on an automobile that has been hidden away and untouched for more than 35 years!

This is by far the most striking Mark Series automobile I've ever seen and I just had to relate this anecdote. On the day that I worked on the photos for this listing I happened to stop in front of a small country church just as the attendees of a Saturday afternoon wedding were exiting the building. The bridal party was moving off towards their cars and the congregation was still miling about and saying their goodbyes on the church steps as I sat at the intersection waiting for traffic to clear. It was a beautiful day -- perfect for the lucky newlyweds or for a cruise in a cool car -- and I was admiring the scenery and the well-dressed paritioners, and pondering the twists of fate that have to this point allowed my to avoid the marital yoke. And just as I was at the peak of my pleasant reverie and preparing to pull away a girl in the bridal party turned and pointed at me in the Mark and said, "Hey look at that car!" Well, apparently everyone was watching the bridal party exit because as if on cue all of the seventy-five or so people turned in unison and watched my slowly drive off. I'd like to think they saw the appearance of a pure gold Lincoln as a sign that the union was charmed. It was a cool moment for a very deserving automobile, because it has been meticulously garage-kept and cloistered for decades, it seemed only right to show it off a bit and let it shine in the afternoon sun.

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
