Up for auction is my 1975 Lincoln Mark IV "Blue Diamond Luxury Group”. It has the 460-4V (7.5L) V8 engine and the C6 three-speed automatic transmission I am the second owner of this Mark IV, having purchased it from the estate of the original owner, and it has just over 33,000 original miles (as of the date of this auction). This is one of the rarest and most expensive Lincolns ever made to date (by 1975). The only engine available in the 1975 Mark IVs was the 460 cubic inch, four-barrel carbureted V8. Other notable standard features (working fine unless otherwise noted) are Sure Track Braking System (predecessoto ABS) with FOUR wheel power disc brakes, power steering, power windows, power seats, automatic temperature control AC system, Sure Track. All gauges, dash lights, radio and clock work as they should. My Blue Diamond Mark IV has the Aqua Majectic velour seats and headliner (RPO code FK), and the desirable forged aluminum road wheels (these are restored original wheels with matching center caps with all the screws to hold them in place. Also, new tires have been put on recently for a pleasurable soft and quiet ride. Other optional features on my vehicle include power remote trunk release, cruise control, rear window defroster, tilt steering column, interval wipers, power antenna, and the AM/FM 8 eight track stereo system. This Blue Diamond also has the optional limited slip rear axle (Positive traction) with 2.76 gears which has just been serviced in May 2013. This Blue Diamond Mark IV runs and drives excellent, just like you would expect from a low mileage vehicle. A recent tune up was done for spring in April 2013. This included new cap/rotor, wires, plugs, air filter, oil change and filter, pcv valve, air cleaner breather element, fuel filter, caruburetor tuned up by a reputable Carburetor shop, vacuum hoses checked for proper routing and function, new vacuum valves and timing checked. A new heavy duty radiator has been installed and the car keeps cool even on the hottest summer days, thermostat and hoses have been changed, It just made a 2000 mile drive from Lake Worth, Florida to Toronto Canada without any issues. The AC/heater system works excellent with a new POA valve installed and system recharged. The velour seats show very nicely with no rips or tears, The door panels, dashboard and interior trim are in exceptionally nice condition with no cracking including the door assist handles. Per my close inspection of this car, the original owner did refinish the vehicle in the late 1980's or early 1990's. Possibly due to a minor accident or possibly due to door dings/dents etc. The finish remains in exceptional condition..not "perfect", not "showroom" but very very nice as shown. The vehicle has no evidence of structural rust damage or repair on its frame or major body panels. There is a little surface rust coming through at the very bottom of one rear quarter panel and lower edge of the vinyl roof on left and right sides. However, this is very minimal and the car can be enjoyed just as it is for many years to come. All the chrome external trim is in very nice and straight condition with no dings or dents, there is some minor damage to the drip rail molding where someone tried to break into the car (which I have a NOS replacement molding that will go with the car). The headlight doors operate and stay closed for several weeks without starting the vehicle The "Valino" full vinyl roof is original, and in excellent condition . The roof is not separating from its chrome trim molding as frequently occurs if these cars are not garaged or taken care of over their lifetimes. A Blue Diamond Lincoln Mark IV is just not going to come up for sale very often. The few that remain out of the limited production vehicles built do change hands on occassion, but not very many are in this highly original, low mileage, exceptional condition. As an added dose of uniqueness, this Blue Diamond The car was originally purchased by Stephen Abramovich of Queens NY, the DSO shows it was delivered to the New York district sales office. This car is believed to be one of the FIRST Blue Diamond cars to be ordered and built as it is manufactured in October of 1974, thus it does not have catalytic converters that was mandated for 1975. If you know your Lincolns, you know exactly what this car is. If you are not familiar with it, perhaps you can still see yourself behind the wheel? In any case, I sure hope my Blue Diamond finds a good home with an owner who appreciates it for what it really is..a striking example of American luxury automotive history that will hopefully be preserved for many more years to come. this exceptional 1975 "Blue Diamond" Lincoln Mark IV is a rare, original, low mileage classic Lincoln and it is priced "accordingly"...not "insanely" but consistent with what the better, rarer Marks actually appear to be selling for.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
Sell your own: 2002 Lincoln LS V8

Ford Motor Company has been a global concern almost as long as there has been a 'Motor Company'. And while it is omnipresent in most corners of the globe, few things spoke to that globalization more than Ford's purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover near the end of the last century. And with that purchase came shared platform opportunities, some of which didn't work (Jaguar's X-Type is the most notable, whose platform was shared with the Ford Mondeo), and some that did. We'll focus on one that did: Jaguar's S-Type, whose engineering was common to the Lincoln LS. Sales didn't set the world on fire for either model, but there is something ageless about both; the Jag embraced a neo-classic theme, while Lincoln's LS is almost timeless within its 3-box, slab-sided architecture. This for-sale example, located in Melbourne, Fla., looks to be in nice condition. If the mileage is accurate and the Carfax reasonably clean, it should provide miles and years of motoring pleasure, even if only driving to your rheumatologist. The LS borders on being a quiet collectible, with less obvious pleasure in the viewing, more obvious delight in the driving; that's especially true with this model's V8. And you can put the asking price on most credit cards! Lincoln Car Buying Used Car Buying Buying Guide Ownership Luxury Sedan
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
