 Offered here in a NO RESERVE auction is a 1979 Bill Blass edition Lincoln Mark V. I have owned this beautiful automobile for over 10 years. During that time the car has been dependable and well cared for. The 400cu. V8 engine runs strong. Transmission shifts smoothly. Body work is pretty much done. Many new parts, including new gas tank, fuel lines, and float last year. Car body is straight. Body side moldings are in remarkable condition. These are usually dinged to death on most cars from this era. Not so here. Beautiful chrome overall. One exception is the passenger side mirror. Chrome on that mirror is fair at best. Car has upgraded Collector Series Ebony wood interior. RARE WORKING AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO. Power windows, antenna, and trunk release work. AC blows COLD. Leather interior is in great shape for its age. Coveted driver side thermometer mirror works! Is illuminated at night. Last year I moved to a lakefront home so this year I am selling my land yacht so I can buy a real boat.
Features that don't work. Power door locks. I replaced the actuators a few years back so its probably the switches on the door panel. Power seats have limited adjustment. Speed control worked until I replaced the steering wheel with one from a Collector Series car. So again, its probably just the switch in the steering wheel pad. This is a used, 35 year old automobile, and as such does not have a warranty. There are typical age related imperfections inside and out. There is a small tear in the headliner above the driver side sun visor. The fiberglass fascia beneath the driver side headlamp cover is cracked. This damage was done by the mechanic shop that rebuilt the carburator some years back. I have a complete new fascia in white that will come with the car if you want it. Pictures of these imperfections have been provided for you to review. I also have the rocker panel moldings that were removed when the body work was done. They are in fair shape and will be included.
The canvas top has been replaced and looks beautiful. But car must now be hand-washed. Do not run it through a high pressure car wash. While the car is weathertight and will not leak even in a torrential rain, a commercial high pressure wash will cause water to penetrate the door windows at their top edges. I have tried to cover all possible questions about the car. If you have a question please contact me. I have a clear NC title on hand.
TERMS OF SALE. A $250 deposit is due within 24 hours after auction ends. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction end. Payment may be made via PayPal, CASH or a Cashier's Check. However, car will not be released until the Cashier's Check has cleared my bank. Car must be picked up within 14 days, unless other arrangements are made.

Site of vehicle is 10 miles west of I-95 off of Route 46 west. Car is also being offered for sale locally. Seller reserves the right to end the listing early unless a bid has already been placed. In that instance the car will remain on ebay and the highest bidder will take this baby home. Thank you for taking the time to review my listing. Good luck bidding!

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 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The 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.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
