1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature SeriesLess than 72,000 Original Miles - Florida & Virginia Car Sold New in Northern New Jersey
Eligible for Antique Tags Now or in January, 2014 - Also for AACA Judging & HPOF
Almost Every Option Available When New - Original Paint & Interior - No Rust Ever
Four New WSW Firestone Tires and Much Other Work Since Taken Out of Storage

Finished in Light Titanium Pearl Metallic with a matching Landau-style top and Dark Blue Premium Leather Interior, this final year Town Car left the factory in Wixom, Michigan during the last month of classic Town Car production, on the 22nd of June, 1989. It was sold new a month later at Ditschman Ford-Lincoln-Mercury on Rt. 202 in Flemington, NJ and apparently retired to Florida along with its original owner, with whom it would seem to have remained for almost a decade and a half, at which point the car had just over 52,000 miles. It then came to Virginia in 2004, registered first near Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, then moved about an hour northeast to Madison Heights, near Lynchburg, where it was part of a small automobile dealer's collection of unusual low-mileage cars until last month.
(This information is per the printed CarFax report I have on hand, yes, it's guaranteed clean as a whistle in that regard, too.)

The final year classic 1980s Town Car was an imposing one, definitely more so than the car that would take Lincoln through the 1990s!

The car wears its original paint throughout and is straight and solid with no evidence of any body repairs - anywhere. The finish has gotten a bit thin on the tops of the front fenders and in places on the hood but it still shines right up and looks terrific.

Just yesterday, I fitted four new Firestone Precision Touring 215/70/15 whitewalls to the original alloys, filled them with nitrogen and performed a front end alignment. The car had a set of Bridgestones on it from 1997 that had some sidewall cracking that troubled me enough to change them. These were not tires that had been languishing in a warehouse, either; they have date codes of the 36th and 37th weeks of 2013, so they are fresh off the production line. Please note that all four alloys are this sharp and are secured by one factory-equipped McGard wheel lock per wheel - the key to these is on the lug wrench in the trunk.

You will notice that even all the trim mouldings and chrome down the sides is free of any damage.

No parking lot dings here, either!

Notice the original selling dealer's sticker on the deck lid!

Close up!

The original hand-painted pinstripe also survives throughout the car!

The radio aerial also works great.

A terrific looking car from any angle!

Note the late build date!

Both driver and passenger mirrors are heated with the rear defog, and the driver's mirror has a good working thermometer.

At night, it lights up!

Do you know the code? I do - and this works great.

Illuminated entry works well - if the door is locked, flip up on the handle and the little lamps in the lock cylinders light up along with all the interior courtesy lights.

One of the necessary repairs I undertook to attempt to perfect this Lincoln was to replace the power lock motor on this door. This panel was off the car on Saturday and back on on Sunday. Lincoln did not make it easy to service this part and they do not support it well, only Chinese replacements. I was very lucky - I took a trip over to the junkyard and found a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis with a recently replaced OEM lock motor which I disassembled, cleaned and reassembled, then made a moisture barrier for it far better than Ford had designed before refitting it to the car. I took the liberty of lubricating the window regulator while I was in here. It was operating well but it will be assured of trouble-free operation for many more years now with fresh grease on the tracks. There are no cracks in this door panel anywhere and all the clips, moisture barrier and sound insulation went back in without any trouble.

If you've never had one, the power windows on these Town Cars are really neat - first the vent window goes down, then the main window.

Another repair was to make the temperature gauge work, simply the underhood sensor on the intake manifold. All the gauges work. The clock has been somewhat finicky, it wants to slow down around 5 o'clock and then once it's past 6 it starts working again. With regular use it should come back to life. Notice here the tilt column and cruise controls on the steering wheel, the cruise works perfectly, holds, accelerates and coasts as it should on command.

Nice options here - auto dimming high beams and delay headlamps - definitely not standard equipment.

As of today, this is the car's mileage from new. It may go up slightly before the close of auction due to test drives or I might want to take it somewhere!

The climate control works great - the A/C blows ice cold and is miraculously still R12, not a conversion.

Purists are cringing - the radio was replaced with a modern Sony AM/FM/CD/MP3 with Aux input and is Satellite ready should you want that. Sadly, the original radio was not with the car when I got it, but I managed to find a nice 1989 Ford Premium Audio Cassette deck correct to this car that had been rebuilt not long ago...

This will be included with the car should you wish to return to the original stereo, the original amplifier and all wiring appears to be intact and the donor car gave a short pigtail from its wiring just in case it is needed to repair any from the Sony installation. These late 1980s Ford radios are quite often bad (no wonder this was overhauled by Southern Electronics in 2006, probably not the first time, either) so my preference would be to keep the Sony but I thought it would be nice to have one of these go with the car as well.

Both driver and passenger get illuminated vanity mirrors in this car.

The headliner is original and perfect.

The Signature Series was the top of the line and these seats are a great example of Lincoln luxury from this period. Even in the Signature, leather was a major extra cost option - velour was the norm in these cars. I think you're starting to get the picture here - this was not the sort of car purchased new for a livery service. I just treated the leather with Gliptone cleaner and conditioner and it is nice and soft. The carpets throughout are also extra plush and come with carpeted mats, not rubber.

Rear seat passengers get reading lamp and window switches as well as door ashtrays and lighters.

The rear seat in this car is superb and appears to never have been sat in.

Same style panel and switches on this side...

Similar condition to the seat as well!

Another repair I just did today as I found it necessary was the power seat switch on this side had some buildup in it; the rear of the seat would go up, but not down. I dismantled and cleaned it and now it works again as it should. Power window and power lock switches here as well as the 6 way seat controls and an ashtray. The window goes up and down great just like the driver's side.

Dash, carpets, everything is in tip-top shape throughout.

The passenger's seat has next to no wear at all. The driver's seat looks terrible in this photo and it does not in real life, it is just fine.

Even with all those ashtrays, none were ever used, nor were the Lincoln emblem lighters.

The car also retains its original owners manual folder, plus some service records, state inspection tickets and the manual to the new radio.

The luggage compartment is very tidy with no stains. The original Michelin spare tire has never been on the ground and still has protective coating on the whitewall. The jack and lug wrench are also there.

I'm sure you already noticed the trunk pull down!

As well as the power release latch. All of this works great, no issues at all.

I did not detail the engine compartment, this is how I found it and I chose to leave it alone. It is very tidy in here. Note the new gauge sender just below the distributor and slightly to the right in this photo. The battery is about 3 years old and is just fine, the alternator was recently rebuilt per some records in the glovebox. A new exhaust was also done from the cats back in 2010.

I will perform an oil change and a coolant change prior to delivery - I have no idea when the oil was last changed, it is clean. The coolant is a bit murky. I will also check all other fluids and change if I deem it necessary prior to delivery. This car drives wonderfully, stops on a dime and does everything right, I just want to make it as right as I can, even if it's preventative work.

Note the original R12 caps on the AC accumulators!

Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014

Sun, Dec 28 2014

Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.

2022 Lincoln Navigator buyers can get $5,000 to convert to the 2023 model

Tue, Jan 31 2023

Ford Motor Company is doling out more money to try to keep its chickens in the coop. Last August, when the automaker couldn't fulfill every order for the 2022 F-150 Lightning electric pickup then levied price substantial price increases on the 2023 F-150 Lightning, the automaker created a "Transition Private Offer." The program gave 2022 reservation holders without trucks a rebate to buy a 2023 Lightning that effectively nullified the price increase. Earlier this month, Ford did it again with the 2023 Bronco. The "2023-Model Bronco Cancel Order & Purchase Replacement Offer" dangled $2,500 to 2023 Bronco buyers without SUVs to either change their Bronco order to a configuration that could be built sooner, or cancel their order and buy another Ford. Now it's Lincoln's turn. CarsDirect says another dealer bulletin outlines a "2023-Model Navigator Connect Model Year Transition Private Offer" for those who didn't get their 2022 Navigator built. "Select customers" who close a deal before April 2, 2023, can get $5,000 off the price of a 2023 Navigator or have the money applied to a 2023 Navigator lease. Akin to the Lightning offer, the Navigator incentive nearly eats up all of the price increases on the new Navigator. The latest version of Ford's most luxurious SUV had MSRPs bumped from about $5,000 for the middle trims to $6,475 for the Black Labels. At the entry-level end, a customer might have some money left over for more options like the brand new Diamond Red Tricoat paint on a 2023 model, depending on how Ford conducts the offer. The base Navigator trims went up by $3,215 for the Standard and $4,730 for the Reserve. If a 2022 Black Label buyer were to take Ford up on the offer, that buyer would be paying $1,475 for the same vehicle; the changes applied to the 2023 Navigator other than price didn't make it to the Black Label. The folks out in the cold are the few 2022 Navigator L buyers. Lincoln discontinued that trim for 2023, so those folks will need to make another choice or find another roost.
