You are viewing a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV in bullion gold (of course that is not the actual name of the color, but in the sunlight it glows exactly like a bar of gold) with corresponding leather interior. It is a two-owner, 44K mile automobile with a strong 460 cu in motor and all the power accessories, including ice cold A/C. I recently fitted the car with new whitewalls and invested $700 in an extensive tune-up and an A/C service and refresh, so it is absolutely ready to be enjoyed. The second owner purchased it in 1977 and It is unrestored and nearly flawless. I urge anyone serious about acquiring it to come look at it in person; it will astound you. The paintwork is the best I have ever seen and it has to be one of the most impressive Mark IV's in the nation. It is literally the color of a bar of gold. I've included a photo of a brake rotor and caliper I took when the tires were being put on to give you an indication of just how well-preserved this car is in every way. And additionally, I was even able to locate the build sheet less than a week ago, which will allow you to trace the originality of this car much more thoroughly than you otherwise could. Its a heck of a treat to find a piece of documentation on an automobile that has been hidden away and untouched for more than 35 years!

This is by far the most striking Mark Series automobile I've ever seen and I just had to relate this anecdote. On the day that I worked on the photos for this listing I happened to stop in front of a small country church just as the attendees of a Saturday afternoon wedding were exiting the building. The bridal party was moving off towards their cars and the congregation was still miling about and saying their goodbyes on the church steps as I sat at the intersection waiting for traffic to clear. It was a beautiful day -- perfect for the lucky newlyweds or for a cruise in a cool car -- and I was admiring the scenery and the well-dressed paritioners, and pondering the twists of fate that have to this point allowed my to avoid the marital yoke. And just as I was at the peak of my pleasant reverie and preparing to pull away a girl in the bridal party turned and pointed at me in the Mark and said, "Hey look at that car!" Well, apparently everyone was watching the bridal party exit because as if on cue all of the seventy-five or so people turned in unison and watched my slowly drive off. I'd like to think they saw the appearance of a pure gold Lincoln as a sign that the union was charmed. It was a cool moment for a very deserving automobile, because it has been meticulously garage-kept and cloistered for decades, it seemed only right to show it off a bit and let it shine in the afternoon sun. Enjoy the photos and the video at the link below!

If you would like additional photographs of the underbody or more photos of the engine compartment, please email me and I'll get them to you. They are both as impressive as the exterior of this fine automobile.

Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android

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.
