HERE IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE: IT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT HAS THE VINYL ROOF FACTORY DELETE!! IT NEVER HAD ONE WHICH I BELIEVE MAKES IT CLASSICALLY BEAUTIFUL AND TOTALLY RUST FREE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE MARK V'S RUST BADLY UNDER THE OPERA WINDOWS AND GENERALLY UNDER THE WHOLE VINYL ROOF.IT ALSO HAS SOME OF THE RARE OPTIONAL ITEMS SUCH AS THE CB RADIO, GARAGE DOOR OPENER ON THE VISOR, LUMBAR SEAT CONTROL,MILES TO EMPTY GUAGE WHICH WORKS,AM/FM QUADRASONIC ELECTRONIC 8 TRACK RADIO WITH DEALER TAPE, AND TRAILER TOW . IT DOES NOT HOWEVER HAVE THE MINIVENT WINDOWS OR MOONROOF OPTIONS.
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 15 YEARS, HAVING PURCHASED IT FROM THE SECOND OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT FROM HIS BUDDY WHEN IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD BEEN INSIDE STORAGE FOR 11 YEARS. EVERYTHING WAS DOUBLE COVERED! MATS ON TOP OF MATS AND BLANKETS ON TOP OF BLANKETS OVER THE SEATS AND IN THE TRUNK. SO ALL OF THE SEATS, CARPETS AND TRUNK ARE PRISTINE. IT HAS OF COURSE ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE BITS OF INFORMATION FOR YOU: I PUT IN A FACTORY NOS PRESS MOULDED ORIGINAL HOOD PAD A FEW YEARS AGO WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE AND STILL LOOKS NEW. I HAD THE DOUBLE STRIPE TIRES MADE TO ORDER AND THERE IS A FACTORY SPARE TO MATCH IN THE TRUNK. I DID THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS AND THEY WERE DETAILED AT THE TIME. THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS NEVER UNDERCOATED AND IS PRISTINE WITH NO RUST!. I HAVE DETAILED MOST OF IT, BUT PROBABLY NEEDS A DAY TO FRESHEN IT UP. I DID NOT UNERCOAT OR PAINT ANYTHING BLACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE REAR ENDS AND GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS WERE NATURAL!!!!! NOT PAINTED!!!!!!!!!
THE PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY APPLIED PAINT IN PERFECT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO DINGS , DENTS OR PIMPLES. THE HAND PAINTED DARK RED STRIPE FROM THE FACTORY IS PERFECT. ALL OF THE DIE CAST IS ORIGINAL , WITH NO PITTING AND NO CRAZING. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND GUARDS WERE TRIPLE PLATED SHOW CHROMED. 2 OF THE WHEEL MOULDINGS HAD A COUPLE OF DINGS, SO I HAD THEM STRAIGHTENED, POLISHED AND RE-ANODIZED. HOWEVER THOSE TWO MADE THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE CRAZED, SO I HAD THEM ALL DOME AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS! I ALSO PUT IN A BRAND NEW MOTORCRAFT BATTERY.
THIS CAR ALWAYS DID 96-98 POINTS BY THE LCOC (LINCOLN AND CONTINENTAL OWNER'S CLUB). IT WILL NOW START BACK AS A BEGINNER AND THE NEW BUYER SHOULD DO WELL.
I AM NOW AGE 73 AND HAVE A LOT OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I CANNOT DO MY CAR THING ANY LONGER. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR! IT IS THE BEST MARK V I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND I'VE OWNED QUITE A LOT OF THEM

2015 Lincoln Navigator
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Typically, when I approach a new vehicle launch, it's with a degree of optimism. Nowadays, we just expect that every new vehicle will pose a legitimate challenge to segment leaders. Mid-cycle refreshes, meanwhile, have taken on a greater degree of importance, as customers' preferences for the freshest vehicles remains strong and automakers rush to keep the latest tech in their offerings.
Conversely, I admit to not being terribly optimistic hopping into the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. I was the first person from Autoblog to see the new model in the metal, way back in January ahead of its Chicago Auto Show debut, and my initial reaction was far from positive. But, as I'd been the one that initially tested the new Cadillac Escalade and had just finished a week in the long-wheelbase version of General Motors' most premium SUV, I was a natural candidate to head down to Louisville, KY - home of Navigator production - to sample the brand's latest.
Lincoln's attempt at freshening the old Navigator's bling-bling face is pretty typical of today's more thorough mid-cycle refreshes, with dramatically new front and rear clips. The addition of standard 20-inch wheels or optional 22s - in place of standard 18s and optional 20s - goes a long way towards modernizing the Navigator's staid exterior. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to finer leather, which covers most of the dash as well as the steering wheel and seats. Warm Ziricote wood would prove to be a particular highlight on the top-flight Reserve model that I drove (the only trim available for us to test).
Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille
Thu, Jun 15 2017The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:
Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]
Mon, 13 Oct 2014You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
