1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe Super Low Mile Original on 2040-cars
Weirton, West Virginia, United States
I'm helping a friend sell this 1978 Lincoln Town Coupe. It belonged to her husband who passed away. He was the original owner, the original bill of sale is included. This car has just under 13,725 original miles. It has always been garage kept and is completely RUST FREE. Beautiful Tan paint/vinyl top on Tan leather interior (The actual color is called Light Champagne). The Interior is in perfect condition. The rear seat belts still have the factory plastic sleeves on them. It is equipped with the factory AM-FM-8 Track player and a few 8 track tapes are included. The trunk is spotless. The exterior is excellent, way above average, but not perfect.There are a couple of waves in the hood, as if someone had laid something on it, but I just couldn't seem to be able to get them to show in the photos. There is a shallow ding in the drivers door.(see picture) I would say that both of these issues could be easily remedied with the "paintless dent removal" techniques that are commonly used. I found a touch up mark that was made with a brush on the passenger quarter panel above the wheel opening.(you can just make it out in the picture.) Other than that the original paint is in excellent condition. A good detailing would make this a fantastic car. The front bumper has a few scratches and there would likely be some very light pitting in the front and rear bumpers after they are polished but I don't feel they warrant rechroming. The car sat unused for a few years but all it needed was fresh gas and a battery and it now purrs like a kitten. We gave it a quick cleaning but, as I mentioned, a good detailing would go a long way. The last Lincoln that was in this condition range sold for over $20,000 on Ebay. This one is starting at a very reasonable $7500 with NO RESERVE. The succesful bidder should send a $500 PayPal deposit within 24 hours. The balance can be paid by cash, certified bank check or a bank transfer. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE ON PICK-UP, YOUR PURCHASE PRICE WILL BE REFUNDED. You can drive it home or we will work with YOUR SHIPPER.

Bentley designer calls Lincoln Continental concept a Flying Spur 'copy' [w/poll]
Tue, Mar 31 2015When you first laid eyes on the new Lincoln Continental concept, we'd wager you were likely impressed, because it's an impressive design. But if you also thought it looked familiar, you're in good company. According to Car Design News, design chief Luc Donckerwolke over at Bentley thinks the Lincoln concept bears more than a passing resemblance to another Continental: Bentley's own Flying Spur. "This behavior is not respectable. Building a copy like this is giving a bad name to the car design world," Donckerwolke told CDN, after posting some disparaging comments on Facebook and offering in jest to send over the tooling. "It is very disappointing, especially for an exclusive brand like Lincoln," added Sangyup Lee, his deputy for exterior design. The irony is further entrenched by the name, which Bentley only dropped from its Flying Spur in its latest iteration but still uses for the coupe and convertible models. Both automakers have a deeply routed history with the nameplate, but Lincoln's stretches back further, having first used the handle in 1939 before Bentley did in 1952. However it's not the nameplate that's the subject of controversy here, rather the design of the vehicle to which it's applied. So what do you think, did Lincoln borrow too heavily from its British counterpart? Related Video:
McConaughey's bizarre new Continental ad is perfect parody material
Tue, Dec 20 2016So let's say you're running a car company and have a luxurious new flagship sedan and need to advertise it. What do you do? Did you answer with "film a commercial with a barely coherent Hollywood actor standing in a pond?" If so, perhaps you work for Lincoln, which brought back Matthew McConaughey to do another bizarre car ad. It starts with McConaughey and a Continental standing on a body of water. He starts talking about staring (or not staring) at the Conti, and then about sitting in the back seat (or not). The ad then cuts to McConaughey in the back who replies to the McConaughey in the front seat. Presumably, there are two McConaugheys at this point, and the front seat one just laughs in a slightly unsettling manner. He then makes a clicking noise, closes the center console and drives away. You can't make this stuff up. It's thoroughly strange, but we can't say we're entirely surprised. When Lincoln first launched some bizarre ads with McConaughey muttering sweet nothings about the MKC, the company got loads of attention. Admittedly a lot of that attention was to make fun of it, but you know the old saying that there's no such thing as bad press. Lincoln even brought him back for an encore in ads for the MKX and MKZ. In truth, we're also glad to see another bizarre Lincoln ad, mostly because we're hoping for another round of great parodies like the classic Jim Carrey spoof that aired on Saturday Night Live. Check out the ad above to see the strangeness. Related Video:
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next.
