HERE IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE: IT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT HAS THE VINYL ROOF FACTORY DELETE!!  IT NEVER HAD ONE WHICH I BELIEVE MAKES IT CLASSICALLY BEAUTIFUL AND TOTALLY RUST FREE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE MARK V'S RUST BADLY UNDER THE OPERA WINDOWS AND GENERALLY UNDER THE WHOLE VINYL ROOF.IT ALSO HAS SOME OF THE RARE OPTIONAL ITEMS SUCH AS THE CB RADIO, GARAGE DOOR OPENER ON THE VISOR, LUMBAR SEAT CONTROL,MILES TO EMPTY GUAGE WHICH WORKS,AM/FM QUADRASONIC ELECTRONIC 8 TRACK RADIO WITH DEALER TAPE,  AND TRAILER TOW . IT DOES NOT HOWEVER HAVE THE MINIVENT WINDOWS OR MOONROOF OPTIONS.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 15 YEARS, HAVING PURCHASED IT FROM THE SECOND OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT FROM HIS BUDDY WHEN IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD BEEN INSIDE STORAGE FOR 11 YEARS. EVERYTHING WAS DOUBLE COVERED! MATS ON TOP OF MATS AND BLANKETS ON TOP OF BLANKETS OVER THE SEATS AND IN THE TRUNK. SO ALL OF THE SEATS, CARPETS AND TRUNK ARE PRISTINE. IT HAS OF COURSE ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

HERE ARE A FEW MORE BITS OF INFORMATION FOR YOU: I PUT IN A FACTORY NOS PRESS MOULDED ORIGINAL HOOD PAD A FEW YEARS AGO WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE AND STILL LOOKS NEW. I HAD THE DOUBLE STRIPE TIRES MADE TO ORDER AND THERE IS A FACTORY SPARE TO MATCH IN THE TRUNK. I DID THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS AND THEY WERE DETAILED AT THE TIME. THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS NEVER UNDERCOATED AND IS PRISTINE WITH NO RUST!. I HAVE DETAILED MOST OF IT, BUT PROBABLY NEEDS A DAY TO FRESHEN IT UP. I DID NOT UNERCOAT OR PAINT ANYTHING BLACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE REAR ENDS AND GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS WERE NATURAL!!!!! NOT PAINTED!!!!!!!!!

THE PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY APPLIED PAINT IN PERFECT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO DINGS , DENTS OR PIMPLES. THE HAND PAINTED DARK RED STRIPE FROM THE FACTORY IS PERFECT. ALL OF THE DIE CAST IS ORIGINAL , WITH NO PITTING AND NO CRAZING. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND GUARDS WERE TRIPLE PLATED SHOW CHROMED. 2 OF THE WHEEL MOULDINGS HAD A COUPLE OF DINGS, SO I HAD THEM STRAIGHTENED, POLISHED AND RE-ANODIZED. HOWEVER THOSE TWO MADE THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE CRAZED, SO I HAD THEM ALL DOME AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS!  I ALSO PUT IN A BRAND NEW MOTORCRAFT BATTERY.

THIS CAR ALWAYS DID 96-98 POINTS BY THE LCOC (LINCOLN AND CONTINENTAL OWNER'S CLUB). IT WILL NOW START BACK AS A BEGINNER AND THE NEW BUYER SHOULD DO WELL.

I AM NOW AGE 73 AND HAVE A LOT OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I CANNOT DO MY CAR THING ANY LONGER. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR! IT IS THE BEST MARK V I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND I'VE OWNED QUITE A LOT OF THEM

Lincoln MKX Concept announces impending launch in China

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

Lincoln has finally dropped the details on the MKX Concept after a few days of teasing. Set for a very important global debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, we're going to have to see this conceptualized version of the third-generation MKX in person before we can draw any real conclusions on the effectiveness of its design.
One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.
