photo of invoice from upholstery shop) Restoration of interior from UPHOLSTERY SHOP included the following: 1. Front seat bottom ALL new foam padding and brand new leather to an exact match of the factory original. This is leather NOT cheapo vinyl.

All door panels were re-dyed to exact factory match. 4. All door panels had new custom stitched carpet restored on panel bottoms with new factory matching plush carpet 5. New armrests on door panels shrink molded just as factory did. 6. Door panel wood grain insert covers restored with new wood grain patterns. 7. New interior plush carpet with new padding etc. Basically the entire interior was restored at a large expense and looks fantastic!! Dashboard is in
good condition. It does have the typical small crack along left side of speaker
grille. Not sure why but nearly All these Lincolns have a crack there? Must
have been a design flaw? In addition to the interior Cost… We just had ALL
windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches. 1.
All Glass and window regulators etc. were completely removed
from doors, cleaned/ lubricated and reinstalled. 2.
Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly. SEE
PHOTO of Car with Top Down but Windows UP. It shows how perfectly even they are
when in up position. 3.
Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. This window service was an
additional $2,800 in labor/materials. -Vent fan works, radio works and power antenna goes up and down, as it should. -A/c needs charged/serviced from lack of use. Exterior: -The paint on the car is the factory “A” Code Black. This car has been repainted in its orig. BLACK color. Current condition of paint is good. Not concourse show quality but very nice driver. Buyer should expect to see some flaws in paint / minor dings in paint from storage. A few thin spots here and there where buffer went slightly through paint. Car is rust free and solid. The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted in its original Black color. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process. You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays. Great gloss shine. Good driver+ quality. Black is Beautiful!! Nothing better than an ORIGINAL
factory BLACK LINCOLN! Note 1: When the
car was restored a N.O.S hood was installed. This hood did not have the hood
ornament hole punched. We decided not to install it. I will include the orig.
hood ornament in sale for the buyer which can be easily installed by drilling a
hole for it.(I think it looks great without it) Note 2: We have a load photos of the process showing disassembly avail. By request. - Very dry and clean underneath with no rust! (See photos) -
Chrome on front and rear bumper is driver quality. -
Door handle chrome is driver quality -
All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape Engine: This car starts right up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger. A pleasure to drive! Engine bay is very clean and well kept/ detailed.(see photos) Note: This car has not been driven in past years. We have done some mechanical maintenance to the car to get it ready for sale. It runs great but will still need to be gone thru. -Just had Tune-Up
done to the car including… -new spark plugs -new cap & rotor -new wires -Fresh Lube, Oil & Filter change last week -BRAND NEW White Wall Tires installed last week. CONVERTIBLE TOP: Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its top. Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease and
it is quite the site to see!!! Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in good condition. Still fits nice and is soft. A few minor pinched spots from raising and lowering but nothing to be concerned about. No tears etc. Items noted that still need attention… -High beam light switch sticks -Pass. Side exhaust manifold gasket is leaking. I will
include new gasket with car. (have not had time to have it installed) -Blinker flasher needs replaced -a/c Freon serviced -Some weather strip/moldings here and there are old and a bit brittle. SUMMARY…All the EXPENSIVE
& hard work is done on this car. Still needs some minor areas looked @ but

disappointments here. Email me today to get this one before its too late!!! I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. Email questions. Thanks! Check my feedback...

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates
Mon, Sep 21 2020The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.
Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men
Tue, Apr 7 2015The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
