1988 Lincoln Town Car Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l Limo on 2040-cars
Dexter, Michigan, United States
|
You are looking at a 1988 Lincoln Town Car Limousine. I received the car from my Grandfathers estate about a year ago. Based on the information that I found in the glove box, the vehicle was in service as a limousine on the east coast. My Grandfather purchased the vehicle and drove it back to Michigan. The car has been stored in a pole barn at his house. Since I have had it, I have had it stored in a portable garage in my driveway. My initial idea was to restore the vehicle, but I do not have the time or the place to do it. I did however, remove the vinyl top that was dry rotted and noticed that there was some rusted areas that needed some attention. I did replace the rear window and have done some fiberglass and bondo repairs around the new window. The engine runs well and all of the fluids were replaced when I got the car. The brakes work great. The transmission was not shifting into overdrive and I had it checked out at our local transmission shop. I was told that the transmission needed to be rebuilt and that the more I drove it the worse it would get. At that point I stopped driving the car. Other than the top, the body and undercarriage looks good, as do the tires and wheels. The air conditioning needs to be recharged and I do not know if there is any leaks in the system. The 5.0 V8 is the same engine used in Ford Mustangs. This vehicle is for pick up only, no delivery. I also included a picture of the vehicle before I removed the vinyl top. Thank you for checking it out.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Lincoln Chauffeur service will drive you around and do your shopping
Wed, Apr 12 2017Lincoln is launching a unique service in Miami this year called Lincoln Chauffeur, and it does exactly what you'd expect. Any Lincoln owner can request someone via an app to come to their house and drive him or her wherever they'd like. That driver will then drive the car back. Lincoln pointed out this will allow other household members to use the car, and even helps avoid having to pay for parking when going to the airport. A representative said that a driver could be sent to a bar or restaurant to pick up a car left in favor of a cab after drinking. In addition to driving you to a location, the driver can also go and fill up your Lincoln with fuel and run other errands. Need some groceries? Your Lincoln driver can do that. And the Lincoln drivers are employed and vetted by Lincoln. If you find a driver you like, you can also request that person and Lincoln will try to accommodate your request. The service is currently in the pilot stage and only available in Miami. The next city that will get access to the service is San Diego. However, the plan is to continue expanding. It's also available for all Lincoln owners, new and old, not just members of Lincoln Black Label. Buyers of any new Lincoln will be given the equivalent of eight hours free in the service. This is a significant perk, since Lincoln said the estimated cost is $30 per hour of use at the current pilot pricing. Related Video:
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
