Up for sale is my Cartier Designer Series 1981, 81 Continental MK VI, Mark VI 2 Door Coupe. The Cartier color scheme for this year was Medium Pewter Metallic Paint, Medium Pewter Leather seats and Steering Wheel and Medium Pewter Vinyl Roof with Maroon Wrapover molding and a single Dark Red Painted Accent Stripe. This car is LOADED with Factory Optional Features: Lighted Entry with Exterior Driver Door Mounted, 'Keyless Entry" keypad and Illuminated Door Lock Key Cylinders, Power Windows with Minivent feature, Power Factory Moonroof, Power Automatic Locking Door Locks, Twin Comfort Lounge 8 way Power Front Reclining Seats, Twilight Sentinal  Automatic Hidden Headlights with Auto High Beam Dimmer, Large Single Round Coach Parking Lamps built into each Headlamp Door Cover, Tilt Wheel, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Power Trunk Release, Power Antenna, Digital AM FM CASSETTE Radio with Premium Sound Feature, Automatic Climate Control, Digital Dash, Electronic Trip Computer, Electronic Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Cable Remote Right and Left Side View Mirrors, Right and Left Door Armrest Storage Compartments, Lacey Aluminium Spooked Wheels. 
I bought this car in April 2001, at the Carlilse Pennsylvania Car Show with only 73000 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge, this is an all original un-restored, untouched survivor. The interior is beautiful with the exception of the top of the back seat (See Photo). The Dash Pad and Speaker Grills are in great shape as are the original Cartier Floor Mats (See Photo). Everything seems to be in working order. The body is straight and untouched with only a minor ding seen here and there. There are no major dents, scratches, chips, gouges, or rust to speak of. However as you can see in the pictures the clear coat paint finish is starting to go which is typical of cars from this era, but it is NOT flaking or peeling. The chrome is showing signs of wear as well. 
The engine compartment is in great shape along with the trunk interior showing its original un-used mini spare and bumper jack.
    I did not use this car too much at all. The odometer is showing only 79400 miles now. In the 6000 miles I have driven it over the past 13 years it has always been garage kept. I have never driven it in the snow or salty road conditions and it has seen very little rain. I believe it's been off the road since 2003 or 2004. I would go and start it on a regular basis and take it out for an occasional ride every few months weather permitting.
I recently replaced the battery after the winter and she started right up, drove her out of the garage, gave her a bath and went for a ride. The brakes felt a little low and spongy which may require a good bleeding. I would recommend changing all fluids and filters  as routine servicing maintenance by the new owner for piece of mind.
This 1981 Continental Mark VI  2door Cartier Designer Series by Lincoln and the Ford Motor Company, VIN : 1MRBP95F1BY640726   is being sold in "AS IS" condition with no warranties guarantees or returns promised or implied.

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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
