This beautiful Lincoln is being sold to settle the estate of Ms. Shirley Musick. She purchased the car from Bailey Lincoln in Ft. Worth in Oct. of '84 preowned. Ever since, the car has been parked on the left side of the garage of her home in the Lytle Shores neighborhood (around a private lake in Abilene, Tx.). We lost Miss Shirley in Feb., the house has been sold, and now the Lincoln.
I removed the car from her garage Friday. Drove around the loop, had it washed (not detailed), and what a wonderful car this is !! I had one new, and had forgot just how comfortable and quite these Lincoln's are. This is a very nice, original car.
First off, this Mark has always been in service. Never stored, or neglected. Showing 87,000 miles. Not bad for 31 years! If you remember the metallic paints from this era, they did not hold up well, especially in the extremely hot, West Texas climate. The paint really is nice, very shiny, and all without having been detailed. There are very few, minor blemishes you would expect on a car of this age. Nothing that distracts from just how nice it is. NO RUST! EVER! ANYWHERE! Abilene is hot, and very dry! Our cars do not rust.
I only drove the car about 25 miles, and everything seems to be in working order. The only issues I noticed, the power antenna does not work. Everything else seems fine. The digital dash is perfect. Seats, windows -- all good. The leather on the seats is in amazing condition. They are still extremely soft, and really comfortable. The vinyl top is soft, no cracking. Tires look good and so does the spare.
Took some pictures of the car on a lift, you can see that the undercarriage is in great condition. Again, NO RUST!
A car dealer friend told me that it's hard to find any nice car to drive for this price, especially a collector type that looks this good. Wish I had the room........

Matthew McConaughey dusts off his Lincoln Lawyer jacket [w/videos]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Alright, alright, alright. Easygoing Texan Matthew McConaughey has enjoyed a career renaissance recently with critically acclaimed roles in Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective, and the actor has just signed a multi-year deal with Lincoln to become the luxury brand's spokesperson. The first ads starring McConaughey should hit televisions and the internet soon.
McConaughey's campaign has his pitching starting out with the company's pivotal new 2015 Lincoln MKC compact crossover. "Lincoln is an iconic, American brand and I like where they are heading with their transformation," he said in the announcement of the deal. The appears to be really throwing some money into these ads, too. Not only has it hired A-list talent in front of the camera, Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, is directing the spots.
Of course, this won't be McConaughey's first noteworthy ride in a Lincoln. Back in 2011, he starred in The Lincoln Lawyer, a legal thriller about at attorney would did business out of a 1980s Town Car. The MKC should certainly prove to be a much better driver than that.
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After 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.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
