The good: Paint is brand new. Car was stripped down, all bodywork was done and was repainted. All door jambs and under trunk/ hood painted to match. Engine compartment not painted but doesn't stand out. Interior was stripped down and replaced as well. New: headliner, dash cap, seats front & rear, steering wheel, carpet kit, rear deck recovered.
New mechanical parts: steering box, steering pump, fuel pump, carb, battery, full tuneup done. Motor and running gear are all solid, car runs and drives great. It has a few rattles here and there but no major vibrations or other flaws. Tires are brand new with no signs of wear at all. Doesn't smoke or smell rich, idles smooth and starts right up every time.
The bad: Weatherstripping needs to be replaced. There are a few random parts in the interior showing wear like the pillar cover between the front and back seats, the dash board has a cap cover on it, the original dash under it is pretty rough but with the cap you can't notice it at all. The oil and alternator lights are both on constantly but both have been checked out and are both alternator and oil pressure are check out fine, probably bad sending units? The door panels are in fair condition but should probably be replaced or rebuilt some day. Trunk has not been touched so it's original and needs to be upholstered. The trunk sill and deck lid have been painted so that part isn't a problem, just the trunk area itself is ugly. There is a grill trim piece broken off and can be seen in the pictures. The grill in general is pretty beat and should probably be fixed one day although with the exception of this broken trim piece and a crack in the grill slats, none of this is noticeable from the outside. The tranny has a very small leak coming from around the bell housing area somewhere but isn't bad at all. Paint is new but should probably be wet sanded and polished, looks very presentable, just not quite perfect yet. Shocks are probably shot, I haven't checked them out so they're most likely original.

Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
