1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III
Offered for sale is this very rare 1969 Lincoln. The Continental Mark III 2 door hardtop Luxury Coupe was the top model for 1969. It is fairly hard to find one that is still in good to very good condition like this one. This is a two owner automobile (technically three as the original owner - an older gentleman, who purchased the car new at the Kumpf Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Denver in 1969 did donate it to a local museum from which I purchased it sometime later). The body is straight and the exterior is in pretty good condition, but the paint (one repaint) looks a little tired and does not show as well as it could or should. There are a few minor blemishes, scratches, etc. and a couple of small rust spots at/near the bottom of the car. A good detail/buffing should really help in getting it to look great. The bumpers, chrome, stainless trim, etc. are in very good to great condition. The windshield and glass are in great condition. The vinyl top was replaced by the previous owner (I guess her wanted to keep the car in the best condition possible). The car is nicely appointed with the original vinyl and cloth interior which is in very good if not great condition. The headliner, carpet and rubber mats are in very good condition. Again, a good detail job will go a long way to reviving this beautiful interior. The dash looks great except for one 2-3" crack on the right side of the steering wheel. The car has AC and power everything. It has the 460 engine and automatic transmission, a new fuel pump was installed about a year ago. The car starts, runs and drives very well and is a pleasure to drive. It is not perfect by any means as it is an older automobile, but it will make a very nice driver or cruiser with only a minimal amount of TLC. It has only 74,000 miles showing on the odomoter. This is your chance to own a legendary automobile which has some of the best styling ever designed.
Affordable and attractively priced with a low and very reasonable reserve, this car will be a very smart buy for anyone. You are welcome to come and inspect the car in person. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. A $520 non-refundable deposit is due immediately upon the end of the aution by the winning bidder via PayPal. The remaining balance is payable within 48 hours after the end of the auction via Bank Wire. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. The car is sold as-is, with no warranty/guarantee. Sale is final, no return or refund. The car must be picked up within seven to ten days after the end of the auction.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
Ford is recalling more Takata airbag-equipped Ford and Lincoln models
Thu, Mar 2 2017The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
