This is a 1979 Lincoln Continental with 70,100 original miles. From my understanding this is the last year of the huge Lincolns, folks I am no car expert, I bought the car because it was so cool and I always wanted one, unfortunately I need the money and the car has to go. The car is in outstanding condition with absolutely no rust, and I was told it was stored in a heated warehouse for many years. There is a small rust bubble near the pass rear door, it is NOT a hole. There's no way a car that's 33 years old can be in this good of condition stored in a barn in Northeast Ohio, so the warehouse story sounds probable. The car runs and drives great, I acquired the car a year ago, and fixed some minor problems such as a missing emblem in the steering wheel, had the brakes re-done (even the brake drums have the original factory paint marks). It does run a little rough when it's cold, probably could use a carb rebuild since a tune up didn't help. The car is complete and unrestored and from what we can tell everything is original except the battery and the A/C compressor.
The car was Factory Undercoated (I think this was actually done at the dealership), but the undercoating is in great shape and not peeling. Some kind of spray was applied to the engine compartment, which looks weathered, but everything, including the vacuum canisters, look new with NO rust. The vinyl top has NO cuts or wear, the interior is in fantastic condition, except for a small wear mark on the rear seat. The trunk has all the mats that are UNSTAINED and like new, the jack looks like it has never been taken out of its holder. The paint is in excellent shape, but it does look like someone buffed the heck out of it and there are some swirl marks. The only thing that doesn't work is the Cartier clock. This car needs nothing and can be driven anywhere. The brakes are VERY touchy, it'll lock up all 4 tires easily to bring the beast to a halt.
Included are the original owner's manual, and original warranty card. Don't know if the 8-track works, I don't have a good tape and don't want to ruin it if the tape gets eaten. The power antenna is very cool and works fine.
Wow, does this car drive nice. It floats down the road and gets up to 70mph before you know it. Just sitting behind the wheel with that huge hood in front of you, how cool is that? What a land yacht.Gosh, wish I could upload more pics so that I could show every little ding and the entire car, I try to represent the car as accurately as possible. Take a look at my satisfaction rating (100%), and I intend to keep it. Since I've sold a couple of my cars on Ebay, all the buyer's were happy. The car isn't mint or perfect or a museum piece, but for the price, well..it is a real head-turner and fun to drive. If you wanted to restore it, everything is there, and it would be an easy restoration. Good luck bidding, serious buyers please submit questions and we can get in touch to answer any questions you may have.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.

LA Auto Show recap
The Lincoln Way seeks to woo customers with unique services
Tue, Jul 19 2016Lincoln has been fighting hard to shed their image as a luxury brand for the elderly. The company has recently introduced or updated nearly every vehicle in its fleet in order to literally put a new face on the brand. Options, like the Black Label program, attempt to pull influence from high-end automakers that provide services extending beyond scheduled oil changes. Now, Lincoln is introducing a program that it refers to as The Lincoln Way, a suite of customer-oriented services that the company hopes will set it apart from the pack. All of this starts this fall when the new Continental goes on sale. Customers will have access to services like vehicle pickup and drop off and complimentary loaner vehicles. The company is planning more incentives for the future, but details are vague. Lincoln parent Ford is offering similar services on the upcoming GT. The Lincoln Way seems to be an expansion of some services already offered under the Black Label program. Right now, Black Label includes scheduled maintenance, car washes, and concierge services, as well as exclusive vehicle colors and options. The program is pricey and only available on some models in some states, though Lincoln plans on expanding Black Label's reach. In addition to these services, Lincoln is opening a showroom of sorts, called the Lincoln Experience Center, in Newport Beach, California. The facility won't actually sell vehicles. Instead, customers can come and learn about the brand, build and price vehicles, and take test drives. The Experience Center will then put customers in contact with local dealers. Lincoln says the increased focus on customer care and satisfaction draws influence from the company's growth in China. Since the introduction of The Lincoln Way services, sales in China have grown greatly. Sales in the United States, like China, have been improving the past few years. With the introduction of The Lincoln Way, the company hopes that Matthew Mcconaughey won't be the only draw for future customers. Related Video: Lincoln Ownership Luxury lincoln black label
