Here is a rare find! This is a 1997 Lincoln Continental that is a garaged one owner Florida car with only 48k original miles and clean as can be inside and out! These Continental's have been favorites for years but are getting VERY hard to find in nice shape and with low miles. This one is as nice as you could hope for in any 1997 car and it was owned by an older wealthy couple who live in the prestigious community of Bonita Bay here in south Florida. It was bought new right here at our local Lincoln dealership and traded in by the original owners at our local Volvo dealership in this shape! It has been garaged it's whole life and has a clean Autocheck report showing no accidents or problems and it received a score of 55 points out of an average rating of between 15-36 points so you know it has a great history as well. And being a true Florida car there is NO rust and even the underside still looks near new, even the original factory exhaust with dual chrome tips are still there and it great shape! The exterior looks wonderful with a deep Lincoln shine with no fade, dents, scrapes or rust. The factory aluminum wheels shine like new with no corrosion and there are near new matching Michelin tires that help give this Lincoln that smooth and quiet ride people have come to expect from these cars. Look close at the pictures and I promise you it looks every bit this nice in person. The interior too in in great shape with no stains, rips or odors and this is a non-smoker's car so it is still very fresh inside. The leather seats are very soft and show little wear, the back seat looks new! All the power options work fine including the ice cold air conditioning and 6- cd stereo with cassette that sounds wonderful. All the trim looks nice and everything has a garaged look and feel and there are no service lights on. What a pleasure to drive, so smooth and quiet and the nice Michelin tires really help. The peppy 32v V-8 engine runs smooth as silk and should with only 48k miles and will deliver decent gas mileage as well. The brakes are smooth as is the transmission and suspension with no shakes or rattles, just as you would expect from a well cared for 1-owner Florida car. It's not brand new of course but it's the nicest one I have seen in years and I am sure you will love it. It feels like your driving a classic already! I have great feedback so you can be sure that this vehicle will be just as nice as I am stating. Should you need help with shipping call me, if you decide to fly into Ft.Myers to pick it up in person I will meet you at our local airport right here in town. I know buying a vehicle you haven't driven is a little scary so I try to make it easy as well as fun!! As with all my vehicles, this one was put through a safety check to be sure it is safe and road worthy. This includes an oil change and an inspection of the brakes, belts, hoses, tires, fluid levels, etc. It's just one more thing I can do to make this a good experience for you. I encourge you to call with any questions @ 239-872-5281. Thanks!

Ford F-150 could be affected by tornado-damaged supplier in S.C.

Wed, Apr 22 2020

The disruption caused by a tornado that severely damaged a South Carolina auto-parts plant and killed a contract security guard last week could be felt by more automakers than just Ford and affect more than just its best-selling F-Series pickup, which is due for an update. And there’s still no estimate for when operations might resume at the plant. The Detroit Free Press reports that the BorgWarner plant in Seneca, near Greenville, makes transfer cases for F-150 and Super Duty pickups, the Ford Explorer and Expedition, Transit cargo vans, and Lincoln Navigator and Aviator SUVs. ItÂ’s also a supplier for the Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra trucks. Transfer cases shift power from the transmission to the front and rear axles in four-wheel-drive vehicles. BorgWarner says it still has no update for when it might partially or fully resume operations. The tornado that ripped through the area in the western part of the state on April 13 tore the roof, walls and signage off the factory and killed a 77-year-old contract worker when the security building he was sheltering in collapsed. Only four or five others were inside the plant, which has been idled because of the coronavirus outbreak, when the tornado struck. In an SEC filing on Friday, Ford said it has sent employees to the site to help BorgWarner and assess the damage to FordÂ’s tooling. “Initial assessments indicate that the Ford tooling was not materially damaged in this incident,” Ford said in the filing. “We do not have sufficient information to estimate when the facility will be back on-line or whether or the extent to which this incident will impact our plans to resume production of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.” A Fiat Chrysler spokeswoman also told the Freep the company was working with BorgWarner on recovery plans. A Toyota spokesman told Autoblog that "we are collaborating with BorgWarner to help restore production for transfer cases for Tundra assembly. We are confident that theyÂ’ll fully recover over time." Like other automakers, Ford shut down production at its U.S. plants last month as a precaution against the coronavirus pandemic. But Ford hasnÂ’t yet said when it plans to reopen its factories. FCA is targeting May 4 to resume production. Models like the F-150 and Lincoln Navigator are major sources of profit for Ford, which estimated it lost $2 billion in the first quarter.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
