Thanks for viewing this very rare luxury group Mark IV. Its rarity stems from the fact that few Marks in 1976 were produced with the combination of the dark emerald exterior paint you see in the photos paired with a dark green leather interior trimmed in silver that signifies the luxury group package. Most jade luxury package cars with this option configuration featured a very light jade exterior with the dark green leather interior. They are certainly attractive cars in their own right, but the combination you see before you is superior in my opinion. My favorite time to drive is in the evening, just as the sun is going down, because often times the light of the setting sun will play off beautiful paintwork in unexpected ways and it is especially true with this deep green coloring and that long, generous hood. In fact, on one such evening I swear that the entirity of a gorgeous pink-red sunset was reflected in that tremendous expanse of metalwork underwhich hummed that big, smooth 460. Needless to say I drove due west much further than I had planned, until the sun had disappeared below the horizon and the spectacular, impromptu lightshow to which I'd been treated finally reached an end. The special thing about this Lincoln is that even though nature's beauty had darkened until morning, that treat was replaced by the soft green glow of the gauge cluster and the Cartier clock illuminating the interior and casting shadows on the dark leather all around, which was about the best substitute I can imagine.
This Mark is an extremely well cared-for example that shows a level of preservation that you will look long and hard to match, if you ever manage to do so. A good friend of mine in the collector car world who has followed Marks avidly for more than a decade called it the best he has ever seen. The interior is absolutely flawless -- the seats, the armrests, and steering wheel -- and the paint and brightwork are equally spectacular. It sits on correct Michelin X tires and appears in every other way to be the ideal of originality. A modern stereo is the only deviation from this status, but it is hidden nicely in the glovebox and only adds to the joy of driving this fine automobile.
If you are a serious buyer I would love to speak with you, because for the next few weeks this car is for sale. I am not a terribly motivated seller because of its color combination and condition, but I feel I must put this Lincoln out here for the world to see and for someone to possibly acquire or my collection becomes a hoarding of beautiful objects rather than a celebration of what a select group of American men and women of drive and character and vision were able to create, which is really what a car collection should be. So if the photographs I have included move you as much as owning this car has moved me, then hopefully I will hear from you, if only to voice your appreciation of this car or to tell me your own Mark story, because I love to hear of the existence of other Lincolns that are truly treasured by their owners.
If you make an offer that I am seriously considering I will contact you via email before accepting it just to confirm that you are a real person and that you do understand the payment terms detailed in my listing. I find everything works much more smoothly if we touch base on these items.

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford.

Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
