SOME HISTORY FROM THE BINDER (Used by a typewriter):

“In 1976, Fred Smith, owner of Fred Smith Lincoln Mercury of Independence, Missouri, purchased this car from the original owner.  This showcase vehicle was personally used by Mr. Smith for Shriner parades and other classic displays.  During the twelve years Mr. Smith owned the car ’76-’88 extensive restoration work be factory trained authorized Lincoln mechanics was performed on the engine, transmission, electrical and brakes.  At 70,000 miles Good Year wide white radial tires were included.  Since 1988 to present, current owner has continued maintaining & driving this car weekly (weather permitting) restoration on body & chrome including clock, radio, mirrors & knobs all restored to original.  Carefully and correctly maintained a grand representation to end of an era.”

From what I can tell from the binder in 1993 the car had extensive restoration again to perfection by Baker’s Auto in Putnam, CT. at a cost of approx. $30,000.  Very little miles since this restoration have been placed on this car.

The air conditioner needs a new compressor as the existing one is frozen.  All controls/fan for the a/c work properly.  Heater works.  The rubber seals for the top on top of the windshield are missing.  The radio is not original but in working condition.

Please contact me with any questions or if additional photos are needed.  The car is located in Fort Lauderdale Florida, buyer to arrange shipping if needed.  Inspections are welcomed, this car is stunning in person, the photos just don’t do it justice.  Very reasonable Buy It Now Price with book values much higher.  Will consider reasonable offers only.

This is near flawless automobile and one of the remaining 2,276 that were manufactured and sold that year.  These cars have been doing nothing but climb in value and popularity based on their incredible lines and the fact that they have been seen on television and in the many movies.  These cars are nothing short of incredible to drive and enjoy and have incredible class and presence! Thumbs up wherever you go.

Car is sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied.  Information herein given to the best of seller's knowledge. I am happy to speak on the phone with anyone, just ask for my number.  Thank you.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

2020 Lincoln Aviator fuel economy revealed

Tue, Jun 18 2019

Ford finally revealed some of the last details, such as fuel economy, for the non-hybrid 2020 Explorer. So it's no surprise that its classier corporate twin, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, has had its own fuel economy data released by the EPA. Though, like the Explorer, we only have information for the non-hybrid versions. The 2020 Lincoln Aviator has just two engine options, a base turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and the same engine coupled to a hybrid system with 450 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. That base engine is the one we have fuel economy numbers for, and it's shared with the Ford Explorer ST, though the ST's version makes an extra 15 pound-feet of torque. With all-wheel drive it gets nearly the same fuel economy as the fast Ford with 17 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway and 20 in combined driving. The Explorer ST gets one more mpg in town. Unlike the Explorer ST, the Aviator does offer rear-wheel drive with this turbocharged V6. This model gets improved fuel economy of 18 in the city, 26 on the highway and 21 in combined driving. This isn't too surprising, since all-wheel-drive vehicles often do a little worse when it comes to fuel economy. We'll be especially curious as to how the Aviator hybrid performs. We doubt it will match the Ford Explorer hybrid, since that crossover relies on a less-powerful naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6. But it might give the all-wheel-drive four-cylinder Explorer a run for its money, since the rear-drive V6 Aviator is only 1 to 2 mpg behind it. Related Video:

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.
