Here is a 1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car. A colleague's grandfather was 55 years old when he bought this car brand new in ’76 in Rhode Island. He owned it for 37 years, until he passed away at age 92 last fall. This car is in unrestored, original, untouched condition. A well preserved survivor car. The interior is mint, brand new. Take a look at the ash tray - shiny untouched chrome. Never smoked in. The headliner, leather interior, door panels, carpet, etc. are all in excellent condition, as can be seen in the photos. Every power option works (windows, seats, antenna, radio, interior lights, etc.) The trunk is literally brand new.

The exterior looks great but has typical blemishes. There are minor scratches and paint chips that are difficult to photograph. There is one rust spot the size of a nickel, which can be seen in the photos, and I tried to show some paint chips on the passenger side behind the front tire. There are also some minor paint chips on the driver’s side headlight cover. Overall the paint is very shiny and in great shape as the photos show. All the stainless is near perfect, as is all the glass, and the chrome is in very nice shape as well. However, there is a small dent in the front bumper (passenger side), which is hard to see from the photos, and the rubber on the vertical bumperette is missing.

The car has 55k original miles and drives beautifully. In fact it’s the smoothest car I have ever driven, it just floats down the road! All lights, directionals, wipers, etc. all work as they should. Tires are in great shape, brand new battery. Car has just been gone through (oil change, plugs, etc.) I bought the car from my colleague with the sole purpose of tuning it up and driving it, and preparing it to be sold this spring. Currently in my name with new title, so I am officially the second owner. The 2014 Collector Car Price Guide says this car in #3 condition is valued at $6,750, and in #2 condition $10,500. The exterior is #3 condition, interior is #2 condition. We are oping someone will enjoy it for a long time to come. This car is not perfect but is an awesome example of 1970’s luxury, and is drastically climbing in value! Please call me with any questions at all. John 781-789-9181.

Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes

Tue, 14 May 2013

When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

World's dumbest carjackers livestream themselves committing crime

Thu, Oct 13 2016

Warrants were issued Monday for a trio of Cleveland carjackers who, after beating up a limo driver and stealing his car, livestreamed themselves joyriding around the city in the stolen limo. According to Cleveland.com, Brandon Lynch, a limo driver and National Guardsman, drove a couple in a hired limo from New Philadelphia, Ohio to Cleveland for game one of the Indians/Red Sox AL Divisional Series last Thursday. After dropping off his passengers at Progressive Field, he drove the stretched 2001 Lincoln to a McDonalds at Carnegie Avenue and East 30th to grab a bite and wait for the game to end. After finishing his dinner in the car, Lynch stepped out for a breath of fresh air in the parking lot when he was approached by three young men on bicycles. One of them asked Lynch if he could take them through the drive-through in the limo. "I laughed at first because I thought they were kidding," Lynch told the website. "I can't just drive someone in the limo." Lynch said no, and that's when the trio jumped him. During the scuffle the three youths choked Lynch out, punched and kicked him in the head. They then rifled through his pockets and made off in the limo. The next day, a young Cleveland resident named Jessee Varner fired up Facebook live and filmed himself and his two accomplices–Ty'Juan Philpot and Norman HenryÂ–reenacting every 90's hip-hop video ever made from inside the stolen Lincoln. During the video they drove around town, smoke some weed, drank some 40 ounce beers, stuck their heads out of the sunroof, and generally made a nuisance of themselves while posting the evidence online. Eventually they crashed the car and fled the scene. Using evidence from the video and from DNA samples collected from a bicycle at the scene of the crime, Cleveland Police issued warrants for their arrest. The three criminal masterminds, who are well known to Cleveland's law enforcement community, remain at large. Despite a bad concussion and the loss of his car, Lynch is looking on the bright side of things. "The Indians won, so it wasn't all bad!" he said.
