this is one cool 69 mark iii two door Lincoln it is painted a satin black with all trim removed to give it a sleek gangster look(only left the top fender moldings on it to match the wheels).it gets tons of attention and thumbs up everywhere you go in it. the body is very straight ,there is very little rust on this car as it has spent most of its life in a garage, except for the last 3 years it has sat outside and the sun dried out the seats and put a split in the dash pad(all pictured)as far as the rust there was a little in the bottom of the doors that has been repaired ,around where the vinyl top met the back window that was cut out and new metal put in its place,and the bottom of the trunk lid that was also repaired and bedlined.it has a nice set of 20" wheels with new tires less than 500 miles,the windows are limo tinted,all the lights are smoked out ,the front headlights where replaced with ones from a 90's caddi(no more non working vacuum flipups)the car runs and drives good,the car was lowered by heating the springs as I planned on bagging it and was not worried about messing the springs up(still rides good)the motor is the original 460 365hp runs out good,thrush mufflers with turn downs, trans shifts smooth,brakes work good (new mastercyl.brake shoes,and pads).the interior is all original except for the carpet and the drivers seat was recovered the few thing that need work on.. the donut gaskets leak a little the ac is all there and working but I think the blend door or heat control valve is bad ,as the heat comes through with the ac and blows out the defrost vents. all windows work except the pass rear little window could be the drivers switch ,and the passenger window only works from the passenger door switch both power seat switches are broke still works just the joy stick is broke off both interior arm rest are a little loose on the door that's the only things I can think of that need att. but does not hurt the drivability. any questions u have feel free to call me up Lee@985-774-1849

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.
2015 Lincoln Navigator gets lots of updates, still not all-new [w/video]
Thu, 06 Feb 2014If there's one brand that could really use some fresh, all-new product, it's Lincoln. The MKC crossover is on the way and looks promising, but the just-revealed 2015 model year update of its fullsize Navigator would appear to stop somewhere short of being "all-new." This, despite replacing a product that's been on the market since 2007. Oh sure, there's a brash new face, complete with the company's love or hate split-wing grille, and the revised rear-end treatment does look better to our eyes (if overly familiar). But in the era of the bold new all-aluminum Ford F-150, the Navigator is still based on the outgoing model's all-steel bones, so it's more of an extensive mid-cycle refresh than a completely new piece.
Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser
That's a shame, really, because the class the Navigator is playing in features a host of really modern, stylish, luxurious crossovers and sport utilities like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and more. Unlike the F-150, there's no aluminum suit on this black-tie bruiser, but that's not to say it isn't bringing some new tech to the table in 2015. Under the hood, for example, is Ford's well-received 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, putting out "at least" 370 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid engine, and should be a whole lot more spunky and efficient than the archaic 5.4-liter Triton V8 currently being employed in the outgoing model.
What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
