Year:1979 Mileage:57380 Color: is in good condition with well
Location:

New York, New York, United States

New York, New York, United States

Large and luxurious, this vehicle is fully-equipped with all the bells and whistles available in 1979. It has plush, quilted leather seats with leather piping, carpeted flooring, vent windows in front and oval opera windows in the rear. Other features include power steering, electric sunroof, fully electric seats, power windows and antenna, a quadraphonic 8-track tape player, (plus over 30 8-tracks thrown in for free), cruise control, and a CB radio. The car is equipped with a powerful 6.6 liter V-8 engine, and in near showroom condition with only 57,380 original miles.

The exterior is in good condition with well-preserved, original shiny gold paint and chrome, no rust. The beige vinyl top is in good condition as well. The car is accident free and has never had any body repair. The only minor flaws are two tiny dings in the trim above the wheels on the left hand side and a crack in the back left tail light (which could easily be replaced).

The interior upholstery and is clean and almost like new. Only the passenger side seat has slight cracks in the leather from normal wear and tear, but the interior wood paneling, the dash cluster and all other elements are in perfect condition down to the last detail. A couple of the electric locks don't work and one window motor is weak, but in the right hands with a few minor adjustments this car could easily be restored to concours condition.

The break system was recently serviced including replacement of the master cylinder, the carburetor has been rebuilt, and new fuel pump and shocks have been installed. The AC has been upgraded from R-12 to to current R134A standards and blows cold. She's running better than ever, was inspected last month and ready for her next road trip!

This All-American Classic Car gets photographed constantly, thumbs up all over, and makes people smile. She has been featured in articles, and starred on the Fox show The Americans in 2013, and even appears on the Wikipedia page under '79 Lincoln Continental (no joke; and we didn't post it). It has been driven across the country on road trips and makes for a very smooth and comfortable ride.
We've enjoyed the car for almost three years and it's been well-cared for. This Continental Town Car is just one step away from becoming a collector's car of exhibition quality.

Sold as is. For questions feel free to email before the auction ends.

    Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln

    Sat, 26 Jul 2014



    Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
    It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.

    Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial

    Sat, 02 Feb 2013

    For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
    The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
    If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.

    Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

    Thu, 04 Apr 2013

    Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
    The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
    According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
