this is a beautiful example of an mostly original Lincoln MarkIV. Garaged kept always, lost storage two years ago but always covered, never seen snow, caught in rain a few times while driving. I've owned the car the last 15 years and knew the orig owner personally, his name plaque is still on the dash. This car has always been driven and cared for lovingly, pampered and maintained. I bought the car with about 62000 miles and now has 79905 miles. Over the last 15 years it was only driven on special occasions or nice days in summer it has been a toy and a joy when you want to show off because it attracts attention and lots of it. It's never been a "daily driver" over it's 38 years for me or the orig owner. I have a lot of paper work on this car, orig owners manual, plastic owners card from dealer for service, records from emission station, when that was still necessary etc. The originality of the car is impressive, I reluctantly replaced the carb last year to a edelbrock with elec.choke, the car now gets better gas mileage and a power difference I can really feel. I also replaced the water pump, fuel pump , shocks and brake pads on all four disc brakes. Other than that and a hose or belt as needed it is all as it came from Lincoln. Amazingly the upper radiator hose has never needed replacing. The a/c has been converted to 134a and works as it should the autotemp system is fully operative as is the power antenna, stereo radio w/8 track player, cruise control, power seats both sides with passenger recline, the clock works but not always. The minor rust issues have always been seen to properly and touched up as they were beginning. Mechanically the car is dependable uses no oil and leaves no fluids on the ground, the trans is smooth and shifts crisp as it should. the vinyl roof I would have replaced, I use liquid vinyl to keep it looking as good as it does now. I am putting a low reserve on this car and hope I can get some pics up but you can call me at 202-841-5927 that's my business cell phone and deal with any questions or requests you may have. call skip at 2028415927. A deposit of $1000.00 (not refundable) within 24hours of sale, balance within 7 days certified funds please. I will help with shipping if I can. Bid with confidence, this is a fine classic car and you won't be disappointed.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards Â– the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement Â– navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features Â– 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.

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.

Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille

Thu, Jun 15 2017

The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:
