Continuing...."1987 Lincoln Continental Excellent Running, Clean Cherry California Classic Fully Loaded.  Runs Excellent. Near Show Quality In & Out *. Extras!Only 75,000 Miles. California Garage-Kept mostly Indoors. Only 1 previous owner!  Original Vintage Glove Box Manuals, Vintage DMV Documents from 1987, and other extras. Base Model with original Givenchy logo on inside dash, I believe indicating such Choice Styling / Trim & Similar Color Options except for no Two-Tone Paint & No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats.

Although this is documented in some Car Histories as the Base Model it appears that in this 1987, last year of this styling, my car was offered with some extra styling options and a Givenchy logo on the inside dash indicating it has Givenchy Styling / Trim and Similar Color Options except for no Two Tone Paint and No Branded Givenchy Logo on the Seats or Floor mats. 

In addition to running excellent it has  Near Mint / Near Show In & Out w Extras! No Tears, No Rips, Very Few Dings / Scratches (See Extensive pics) Good Anti-Lock Brakes although the light comes on and I don't know why, Good Air Ride Suspension with Curbside Adjustment Feature = sometimes the drivers front air shock takes a little longer to fill but rides good when filled, will eventually need to be looked at or replaced, the drivers air shock does slowly empty while driving longer distances or on roads with sharp curves, i was told it may be an easy electrical module fix, (or for your awareness, I was also told that some owners of this type of vehicle like to convert the shocks with a fairly easy and affordable conversion kit).  Some areas of attention: original valve covers are probably in need of a basic tightening or valve cover for preventing oil moisture around a bottom valve covers.

Other History When We Purchased This Continental Locally:

 - We bought it from original owners in about Summer 2012
 - Previous to us the Continental sat at owners / home garage for several years as owner became ill.
 - Vehicle was periodically turned on and warmed up during sitting time of approximately 6 years.
 - Once we purchased vehicle it had been taken out of the garage a few months prior.
 - Battery on Vehicle was weak and it was replaced.
 - Upon doing so all gauges and operational motor / drive train became operational
 - At that time before battery change the digital odometer displayed original miles once car was turned on of exactly 67,437.
 - After battery change the odometer read "ERROR" and displayed no mileage. (We immediately started documenting every mile that we have put on the car hence forth via internal mileage gauge and wrote it down on a register we keep in the glove compartment)
 - For a few weeks that is all it read "ERROR"
 - Then, spontaneously one day it reset itself at: "000000.0" and started accurate displayed mileage from that point until today...where it reads "6,240" miles
 - Additionally we started researching odometer repair options and found several solutions online that we documented but did not purchase or move forward on.
 - Such solutions included a new odometer module that could be replaced in the dash and such new module would read original mileage in the car's computer and display it properly.
 - Such odometer repair parts are reasonably priced and available third party online/ebay etc. and require minimal removal of front dash plastic panel and some electrical steps in order to repair.
 - This we leave to the buyer to handle and have not considered such repair as we are selling car.
 - Actual Verifiable Mileage Displayed on Car and our registered odometer notes by hand bring mileage to 78,403 to date.  Such copies of documents and dates are available for examination at any time by bidders/buyer.
 - Regarding Vehicle Vin History Reports containing odometer reports, our records should agree with them. Note: In 2012 upon registering and California Smog inspections, such documented mileage was reported and is documented at exactly 70,203 in such vin / vehicle histories as well. California dmv, though, is mileage exempt for reporting purposes for older cars. While we did not run our own extensive CarFax for odometer purposes, others may feel free to do so. 

We did run a preliminary vin history with basic odometer report from a third party online report and such mileage does appear as stated as well as other facts that show the vehicle as clearing most of the major points one might be concerned about and we find nothing out of the ordinary to report via such history report. Our purchased basic report is available for review as an electronic document to whomever would want to review it.  An excerpt is below

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.

Annie Leibovitz goes Continental for Lincoln campaign

Mon, Oct 10 2016

Lincoln has a lot riding on the new Continental, and the company is now calling upon renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz to glam-up its new flagship. Her photos are part of a new series dubbed "That's Continental," which the automaker will use in high-end publications and on social media. Leibovitz's iconic photos have been used in magazines like Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, and she's photographed celebrities, politicians, literary icons, and landmark events. The new series for the Continental is Leibovitz's first attempt at car photography and it follows a road trip theme inspired by the trips she took with her father as a child. The photos for the campaign were shot in New York City with a group of non-professional models, including a musician, an artist, an actor, and a film director and his dog, Seven. "Annie Leibovitz is a photographer of substance," said Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra. "The rich, warm emotions her photos evoke, mirror the feelings we want our clients to experience on all of their journeys in the new Lincoln Continental." While we're still arguing over the Continental's looks, Leibovitz's pictures show the sedan at its best. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
