I have for your consideration a 1978 Lincoln Continental. It has approx 67,000 original miles on it. It has the 460 engine, with automatic transmission. Both of which work nicely. Here is what I know/the story of this vehicle. The vehicle was owned by an elderly couple and it was the wife's car. In the early 1990's she got cancer. The husband wanted to surprise her, so he had the car painted and a new vinyl top put on by one of the local Ford dealerships, (Alexander Ford). The wife unfortunately succumbed to her illness. The husband tried to drive the car, but the memory of his wife would not allow him to do that. The vehicle was parked in a semi climate controlled basement, and actually "walled in" so no one could get to it very easily. That is where it sat until he decided to sell it, and that is where I came in. He had offered to sell it to me a couple of times and then changed his mind, but he is up in years now so he offered again and I bought the car.
(Note: I am friends with the family, and I know the information is accurate.) I had the car brought to me on a roll back. It was quite dusty from sitting and I knew it would need work. The following is what I did to the car: New gas tank, sending unit and fuel pump. All new belts. Water pump/timing chain cover was leaking. All of that was fixed/replaced. Since we were close, and the OEM timing gears were nylon, I replaced the timing chain and gears. Complete tune up, new plug wires distributor cap, plugs etc Fluids changed, prior to any attempt to start the vehicle. New battery. New tires. New front brakes and rotors. I had the car detailed, and it uncovered a very very nice paint job. Here are the issues left with the car: The A/C is not working. The power door locks are not working. The left turn signal inside does not illuminate. turn signals work fine. The leather upholstery has discolored some over the years. The car has no catalytic converters on it. I can get them put on for $250, if needed. Everything else works on the car to the best of my knowledge. Radio, power antenna, power windows including the power "vent" windows, power seats, all lights, headlight covers, etc etc My intentions were to use this car on the weekend and just to "cruise" around in. It rides/drives like it is on a sheet of glass. The major reason for selling is that that the driver's area is not big enough for me. I am a a tall and big person, 6'8" 385lbs. The first time I sat in the driver's seat was after all of the work was done, and that is when I found out there is not a much room in the Lincoln as was in my 1988 Cadillac Brougham. I thought about moving the seat back and all of that but I wanted to keep the car original, so I decided to sell it. Now if you are still here after all of that, it is time for pics. The car is sold "as is" no warranty express or implied. 500 dollar deposit via Paypal, balance in cash or cashier's check. All checks must clear before the car will be released. This car has a lot of potential, and a lot of life left in her. I priced it about half way of what the range is in the NADA book. Please look at the photos closely and if you have any questions e mail me, I will respond ASAP. Thanks Note: Someone wanted to know what the white was on the side of the vehicle. That is just the reflection from the lines in the parking lot. The paint is that good on this vehicle. |

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Oct 2014You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
Lincoln previews new Navigator with illuminated grille, new interior
Tue, Aug 13 2024While it's not the best-selling Lincoln, the Navigator stands proud as the company's flagship and one of its most important models in terms of image. The current-generation SUV made its debut for 2018, and it will soon receive what sounds like a round of far-reaching updates. Full details about the new-look Navigator aren't available yet, but a short preview video published by Lincoln gives us several hints. We already know that the front end gets a redesigned grille that's seemingly wider, and the teaser confirms that the central slat and the Lincoln emblem will be illuminated. Earlier spy shots suggest that the big SUV's overall proportions won't significantly change, however. Another detail revealed by the video is that the updated Navigator receives a redesigned interior. In the current model, the ignition button is located on the right side of the steering column (near where you'd expect to find the ignition barrel in an older car) and the buttons used to shift the transmission into gear are below the air vents on the center stack. In the updated SUV, the ignition button and the piano key-like shift buttons are on the center console. The steering wheel gets a cleaner-looking design, and it looks like the dashboard is new as well. There's no word on what's under the hood. For 2024, the Navigator comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that's twin-turbocharged to 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. It spins the four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive is no longer offered. An unverified report claims a hybrid system will join the portfolio; the 10-speed automatic was developed with electrification in mind, after all. Lincoln will unveil the Navigator on August 15, and the model should land on dealer lots for the 2025 model year. The Ford Expedition that the Navigator is closely related to is expected to receive a major round of visual and tech updates for the 2025 model year as well.
