This is a beautiful, well cared for, 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, with the extremely rare factory Fixed Glass Moonroof option. There were only approximately 1,500 made in 1979 with this option. Mine was owned for the last 25+ years by an older gentleman, James, and this was his 'Dream Car', as the monogrammed dash protector indicates.

Metallic blue with white padded coach top, and plush Kashmir Velour interior, which was an extra option. This car has all conceivable options offered in 1979, including factory CB radio for extra safety on the road. In fact, short of the "Collector Series" insignia on the side, this car has every option offered in 1979, and I think looks better than the Collector Series, which did not have the rear opera windows.

This is also a Lincoln Continental "Town Car". In the seventies, the "Town Car" was not the model, it was a trim level which designated the top of the line for the model. Not every Continental was a Town Car, but all Town Cars were Continentals.

This is the last year for the big Lincolns, and this was the largest production car in the world in 1979.

This car looks and runs great. I purchased it after the previous owner passed away, and his wife offered it for sale. The next day, I drove this classic land yacht over the Rockies, the Sierras, and back home to Denver across both mountain ranges. The ride was incredibly smooth and she performed without hesitation or incident. In other words, she drives smooth and strong and crossed the highest points in North America without a problem.

I only purchased her for this road trip, which is now complete. But since this was the 'Dream Car' of the prior owner, I feel a responsible to be the caretaker of this car. So while I am now selling it, and everything is factory original to the best of my knowledge, I have added to the care and love of this classic by putting on new tires, new shocks, new catalytic converter, new starter and recent oil change & engine servicing. I could have passed on the expense for these, but would like to send this unique car to its next owner in the best condition possible.

The interior is in excellent condition, and the exterior is in good condition. The car is 34 years old, and garaged, and the paint is original so there is some oxidation on the hood which I suspect could be buffed out, and a few minor chips in the paint. But you can see from the pictures that she is in all around good shape, no dents, scrapes, etc.

Everything is factory original and in working condition with the exception of the power door locks, which are a little slow, but likely just need an adjustment. Power windows, seats, antenna, stereo, cruise control, heat, A/C, etc. - all work.

My friends have been encouraging me to keep this car, but I have two others and I really don't need three.

If you're looking for a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, this is a nice one, and I suspect you'll find precious few in this condition, and next to none with the rare factory fixed glass moonroof.

I would love to find a good and caring home for this classic gem.

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...

Lincoln hijacks Cadillac's 'Dare Greatly' tagline

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Talk about comedy - not even 24 hours after Cadillac teased its CT6 while inviting us to "Dare Greatly" during the Oscars telecast, Lincoln was doing the same but on Google. An anonymous tipster informed us the day after the Oscars that typing "dare greatly" into Google returned two ads before the search results. When we checked it over the course of a few hours, the first ad was always for Cadillac and either read, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - Only those who dare drive the world forward," or, "Cadillac - Dare Greatly - It's not the critic who counts, it's the man in the arena." (On a side note, come on, Cadillac - "the man in the arena?" Well. It's a quote. Suppose that's all right, then.) The second result was for Lincoln and read, "Dare Greatly - It's not about making a statement, it's about doing what you love," with the associated URL being www.lincoln.com/dare+greatly. The first time we clicked it, it went to the Lincoln homepage showing the 2015 MKZ Hybrid. The second time, we got a page saying that the Lincoln site wasn't available; the Lincoln site was fine, the link didn't work. There's no reference to the Google joke at the Lincoln site - this was just about getting eyeballs. The English have the perfect phrase for Lincoln's provocation: "You've got some cheek!" We think it cunning, dastardly, and funny, and there's no doubt it worked - they knew people would flock to search the term. One of our competitors, Autotrader, said that within an hour of the first of four Cadillac spots airing during the Oscars, car searches for Cadillac vehicles climbed 53 percent from pre-Academy Award coverage levels. Searches for Cadillac cars were up 120%, they said. If this is Round One of our homegrown scrappy old-timers going at it, we're all for it.

Lincoln MKC prototype spied out testing

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

As was the case with the Lincoln MKZ, it appears that Lincoln isn't wasting any time getting its newest model transformed from concept to production form. We just saw the MKC Concept earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show, and based on these spy shots, it looks like the final touches are being put in place for the 2014 Lincoln MKC crossover.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Escape, we can definitely see some similarities between these two compact crossovers when it comes to the roofline and daylight opening, but through the heavy camouflage, Lincoln's signature split-wing grille can easily be seen and it looks like the concept's taillights will also make it to reality. On the disappointing side, it looks like the integrated exhaust outlets are being ditched for some round outlets, and we can't tell if the production version will keep the Audi-like clamshell rear liftgate.
