1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition.  NO RESERVE!!  This car will sell, so be prepared to bid!  I purchased this car from the family of the original owner.  It has 53,039 miles on it which I believe to be actual.  The engine is a 400 2bbl which runs great.  The car is equipped with all the standard options all of the Mark Series has, like power locks, seats (both), windows, trunk release, interval-wipers, cruise control, AM/FM/8-track radio with remote seek (working), rear defrost, etc.  The things which I know are not working are the passenger door-lock actuator and the A/C, which needs a recharge (compressor is free and connected).  Exhaust is new and carb has been recently rebuilt.  The car starts and runs very well and all the other options I mentioned are working properly.  It tracks straight on the highway and rides like only a Lincoln does!  One other mechanical component which needs attention is a bushing in the steering linkage which is sloppy.  It does not affect the driveability of the car, but is annoying as the wheel turns slightly before the steering engages the steering gear.  It is a common problem for Marks which I haven't gotten around to fixing.  The car doesn't appear to have had any Winter use at all as it is very clean and all original so far as I can tell.  The pinstripes are all intact and all the paint matches from panel to panel and is very glossy.  This IS an original car and IS NOT flawless.  I would call it an exceptional example of an original 34 year-old vehicle, but it does have chips which have been touched up with the correct paint.  It is not banged up, dented, or full of dings.  The original owner clearly took good care of it and I have had it in climate-controlled storage.  The original spare is in the trunk and appears to have never left as it still has blue residue on the whitewall and the seams on the tread show no wear whatsoever.  The interior is outstanding and really needs nothing.  The original floor mats are intact and the carpet is excellent.  The dash and arm-rests have no cracking at all, and all of the glass is good.  The rear-view mirror on the passenger side swivels around a bit and probably needs to be disassembled and tightened up.  I have done my best to accurately describe this car.  It is not my wish to mislead anyone about anything whatsoever, so if you have specific questions about the car please ask, and you can count on an honest answer.  If there are views of the car you would like me to provide, please message me and I will get them to you ASAP.  Please feel free to call if you would like to talk more about the car of ask me any questions.  I have been collecting Lincolns for nearly 20 years and am very familiar with these cars.  Thank you for looking!  -John 701-729-6839  Buyer will be required to provide a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end time.

Lincoln Aviator concept takes a shine to Shinola

Mon, Aug 2 2021

At the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Lincoln is displaying a special Aviator concept that was created in collaboration with the Detroit-based Shinola brand of watches and accessories. The SUV features unique exterior design elements, but the most eye-catching aspects are found in the cabin. The interior is awash in Shinola's whiskey-colored leather, which for once in an automobile actually looks like real cowhide. The rich, brown hue contrasts sharply with off-white cloth seat inserts and more off-white on the dash and door panels. Tying the two colors together is a neat center stripe on the seats that is another Shinola signature design element. The dash and center console also are adorned with a metal mesh trim, said to be inspired by Shinola watch bands. The exterior, meanwhile, is finished in pearl white, similar to Shinola's mother of pearl watch faces. The wheels and grille insert are matte copper. For now, the Aviator Shinola concept is just a design exercise. But a good portion of the Lincoln brand's recent comeback can be attributed to its emphasis on interior design, and specifically, an imaginative use of color and materials. So, we could see Lincoln making a collaboration like this official. After all, they've done it before. A Shinola Aviator is just the hipper, modern version of the same idea that sold the Continental Mark V back in the day, as the commercial below reminds us. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford announces fix for 2021 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator fires

Sat, Jul 9 2022

In the middle of May, Ford announced a recall of around 39,000 Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators from the 2021 model year due to fires starting under the hoods of the SUVs. At the time, Ford had received 16 incident reports, 14 of them happening with rental vehicles. The automaker cautioned owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures while engineers figured out what was happening and how to fix the problem. Since that May announcement, five more fires have been reported, four of them rental vehicles, and there's been one burn injury. The company announced it understands the problem and has a fix, at the same time widening the scope of potentially affected vehicles. Instead of recalling 39,013 units built between December 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, the recall now includes 66,221 vehicles assembled from July 27, 2020, to Aug. 31, 2021. The suspected culprit is a circuit board provided by a supplier that changed manufacturing location during the pandemic. Ford's press release on the matter stated that "circuit boards produced at this facility are uniquely susceptible to a high-current short." The affected vehicles are fitted with either an 800-watt or 700-watt cooling fan system. About a third of the recalled population are fitted with the former, and should get a quick fix at the dealer. On these SUVs, techs will inspect the battery junction box. If they find evidence of melting, they'll replace the whole box. If not, they'll simply remove the engine fan ground wire that runs to the battery junction box; since this ground relay is redundant, the change doesn't alter operation of the fans.  Owners with the 700-watt system might need to wait until September for a fix. These vehicles need an auxiliary relay box with a wire jumper, but the parts aren't available now.   Ford's notifying all owners via the FordPass app, and will follow up with owners of the 700-watt cooling system once the parts are in stock. Until their vehicles are fixed, Ford says the SUVs are safe to drive but that they should still be parked outside and away from structures. The somewhat mixed messaging — 'Yes, your cars are safe to drive, but they could catch fire so don't park them near anything flammable' — encouraged a group of owners to file suit against Ford.

GM and Ford quarterly sales continue to slump in China

Fri, Jul 5 2019

BEIJING — General Motors and Ford announced their quarterly sales in China fell, albeit at a slower pace sequentially, as the U.S. automakers were hit by a slowing economy amid the Sino-U.S. trade war. GM's vehicle sales in China for the quarter ended June 30 dropped 12.2%, while Ford's sales slumped by 21.7%. While GM also suffered from heightened competition in its key mid-priced SUV segment, Ford was hurt by the limited new models for customers to choose from. For the first quarter of this year, Ford's sales in China tumbled 35.8 percent while GM's skid 17.5 percent. Still, the numbers from GM, the second biggest international automaker in China by sales, and Ford portend more uncertainty for the industry which is trying to rebound from a downward spiral that led to its first annual sales decline last year in more than two decades. GM delivered 1.57 million vehicles in China in the January-June period this year, while Ford delivered 290,321 vehicles. China's factory activity shrank more than expected in June, highlighting the need for more economic stimulus amid higher U.S. tariffs and weaker domestic demand. Annual car sales in China fell last year for the first time since the 1990s, and they are expected to fall this year too. Sales tumbled 16.4% in May from the same month a year prior, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said. That marked the 11th consecutive month of decline and followed falls of 14.6% in April and 5.2% in March. U.S. car companies' share of total China passenger vehicles sales fell to 9.6% in the first five months of this year from 10.9% in the year-ago period, according to CAAM. Over the same period, German car makers' share has risen to 23.3% from 20.9% and Japanese auto makers' to 21.3% from 17.3%. CAAM is set to announce June sales next week, which industry analysts forecast will be negative.   New models In China, GM has a joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac are made. It also has another venture, with SAIC and GuangxiAutomobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of GM's affordable brand Baojun dropped 31.8% for the latest quarter. But luxury brand Cadillac's sales jumped 36.6%. GM sold 3.64 million units in China last year, down from 4.04 units in 2017. Ford makes cars in China through its joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co and Jiangling Motors Corp (JMC).
