   I'm selling this vehicle for my 82 year old Father who is suffering with alzheimer's disease.  Because of this, I can't not ask him any questions regarding this car.  My Father owned this vehicle nearly 30 years.  It was stored in a garage 99% of the time, usually taken out twice a year to display at a local automotive show.  During the many years that he owned this car, all he ever did was just wash and wax it.

Condition:  To the best of my knowledge he never had any mechanical or body work done.  The odometer shows approximately 48,000 miles,  I'm almost certain that he never drove it for more than 5,000 miles during the entire time he owned it.  The tires have decent tread but are mismatched, probably should be replaced as they have been sitting for years.   A/C does not blow cold. RH door ashtray lid does not stay closed.  Power door locks , electric antenna and cigar lighter do not function.  Not all of the electric seat adjusting switches work.  There is a spare tire but it is not mounted on a wheel.  Hide away headlamp doors must have a slow vacuum leak as they do not stay closed overnight.  I was not able to check the cruise control on my short test drive.  Engine starts right up and ran fairly well.  Transmission shifted smoothly.  Good brakes.  The body and paint are in good condition but do have various dings, paint chips, scratches and surface rust.  If you are interested in owning a low mileage classic car that needs some TLC to bring it back to its original glory then this car might be for you.

Early History:   From what I recall,  this car started its life in Iowa.  The owner had driven it for several years accumulating approximately 40,000 miles on it.  It was then stolen, the thieves eventually parked the car in a muti-level parking garage where it remained for years.  The parking garage must have been managed by idiots because it took years for them to notice the car and alert the authorities.  My Father then purchased the car from the insurance company that had paid the claim for the stolen car.  This history was told to me by word of mouth and I can't verify any of it.   If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

2019 Lincoln Nautilus commercials bring back Matthew McConaughey, plus pool

Fri, Dec 21 2018

It's that time of year again, folks, time for another kind of strange, awkward Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial. And, yes, checking back when each ad comes out, it's usually in Decemeber or near the end of the year that these ads are released. This latest ad has the actor hanging out with a group of friends having a generic conversation about something over dinner. They all then head inside, and McConaughey breaks away from the group to walk to a pool table, and he promptly makes a trick shot on the pool table while a woman says "I've never seen that before." This leads to clips of McConaughey getting into a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and driving it on beautiful backroads. And before he starts driving, there's a shot of the instrument cluster with a bunch of driver aid options displayed. The woman's words come in again, and he follows it up with his own words, "I have." This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Basically, the idea is that the trick shot of the cue ball threading between other billiard balls is like how the Lincoln driver aids help keep the Nautilus under control. Except it's a vague, awkward way of doing it, which is also par (above par?) for the course of McConaughey Lincoln ads. A much better ad accompanies the actor's version. This one features a real trick pool player making some clever shots to illustrate the individual features available on the luxury crossover. They're legitimately nifty shots, and the features are clearly explained. Maybe all of Lincoln's ads should have this pool player. Related Video:

Jim Hackett says metal tariffs costing Ford $1 billion in profits

Wed, Sep 26 2018

Ford CEO Jim Hackett divulged in an interview with Bloomberg that the Trump administration's tariffs on metals imported from the European Union, Canada and Mexico have affected the automaker's balance sheet, adding that trade disputes need a quick resolution. "From Ford's perspective, the metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us," Hackett told the outlet. "The irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways. We're in a good place right now, but if it goes on longer there will be more damage." Hackett did not specify what period the $1 billion covered, but a Ford spokesman said the CEO was referring to internal forecasts at Ford for higher tariff-related costs in 2018 and 2019. President Trump in March announced his intention to enact 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent on imported aluminum from the three trade zones as a way to protect the U.S. steel industry. The move sent U.S. automakers' stock prices plunging at a time when they were coming off weak monthly sales reports. Separately, President Trump has targeted China with two rounds of tariffs targeting a combined $260 billion worth of imports. China has responded by enacting 25-percent tariffs on U.S. goods including vehicle imports. In the interview, Hackett said that has hurt demand for Lincoln, which has found a growing market for its luxury vehicles in China, and made the price of the Lincoln MKC less attractive to Chinese buyers. The MKC is built at the company's Louisville, Ky. assembly plant. "We've had to move people in that factory to other operations because of that trade problem," he said. It's not clear what those moves entail or how many workers were involved. Autoblog sought comment from a Ford spokeswoman and will update this story if we hear back. Ford last month announced it was scrapping plans to import the Focus Active small crossover to the U.S. from China because of the new 25-percent tariffs on Chinese imports.
