Up for sale is an immaculate 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 fully bagged and in a perfect black on black paint and interior combination. This epic 19 foot or 5.8 meter land yacht is quite possibly the longest and the last of the massive 2 door America cars. As the absolute epitome of luxury in its day, the Mk5 is one of the most comfortable and highly factory optioned cars America ever produced. From the signature Cartier clock, to the walnut dash and steering wheel inlays, the ridiculously comfortable double padded leather seats and every power option imaginable, driving this rolling palace always leaves a smile on your face.

This gorgeous one owner all original example has been garage kept and a cozy 72 degrees almost its whole life, and has not seen a drop of rain since 1982! Needless to say this is a completely rust free car as evident by its showroom quality perfectly straight original black paint.

For the ultimate cruiser feel, and because this massive car just looks so sweet laid flat on the ground, the Lincoln has been fitted with a custom Air Ride Tech air bag kit. Starting with a Big Red solenoid kit to cope with the impressive 5,042 pound or 2.3 ton curb weight of the Mk5, a pair of 5 gallon tanks and twin compressors give you full adjustability through the RidePro digital control system. Helping the Continental get that perfect slammed stance are a set of 14x7 Zenith wire wheels with real knock-offs.

Both compressors and tanks are custom fitted in the trunk along with components from the new custom sound system. Only the best JL Audio components were used, including a pair of W6 10 inch subwoofers in a custom wrapped box to match the trunk and a pair of 300/4 amplifiers. On the dash replacing the factory stereo is a Kenwood head unit. 

With only 49,000 miles on the all original 6.6L 400CI Cleveland v8 engine, this strip and show cruiser has many more years to give. This is your chance to own an absolute crowd pleaser, guaranteed to get smiles and thumbs up from anyone you pass, this timeless classic really has to be seen to be appreciated. Whether it be the arrow straight roads of the high desert, or a nostalgia festival in car crazy Scandinavia, to a traditional lowrider show at Mooneyes Tokyo, this pristine 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 is an absolute joy to drive.

Please feel free to call me for any more information. (408) 930-8959

GM design boss Welburn says Lincoln isn't a Cadillac rival [w/poll]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

General Motors Vice President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, had some dismissive words for a certain cross-town luxury brand during an interview with Car and Driver. When asked about his thoughts on Lincoln, Welburn deflected, before saying, "I don't consider Lincoln to be a competitor for Cadillac."
"They're not a global luxury brand. I don't consider them a competitor. Are they a competitor for Buick? Quite possibly. But not for Cadillac," GM's head designer explained. Welburn, who's been at the helm of GM Design North America since 2003 and is the first to hold the position of VP of Global Design, has been instrumental in the styling renaissance at GM, so predictably, Car and Driver's interview with him focused on the design aspect of cars.
During the interview, Welburn explicitly denied plans for a reborn Cadillac XLR, even as a new Chevrolet Corvette is hitting the market and strides are being made with Cadillac's V-Series performance arm saying, "We have a lot of cars that we're working on for the Cadillac brand. The XLR is not one of them right now."

Ford will keep Escape and MKC plant open an extra week to meet demand

Thu, Jun 8 2017

Crossovers keep selling like popular pastries, and for Ford, that means it needs to keep production going. The company announced that, rather than the usual two-week shutdown, its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant will be open for one of those weeks. The plant builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, which Ford reports have had record sales. According to Ford, Escape sales through May are up 3 percent, and MKC sales are up 10 percent compared with last year. In total, the Escape has sold about 130,000 units through May, and the MKC has sold around 11,000. Keeping the Louisville plant open will allow the company to build an additional 8,500 vehicles. Ford stated that all other assembly plants will continue with the two-week shutdown as scheduled.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
