THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this original classic 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V two door coupe!
Finished in silver over light grey velour cloth interior, this classic Mark V has been driven a mere 62,300 miles since purchased new. This California blue license plate specimen features a solid running 400 cubic inch V8 engine mated to a buttery smooth shifting three speed automatic transmission, electric windows and seating, factory 15" turbine-style alloy wheels with good rubber, padded vinyl top with opera window, am/fm 8-TRACK radio with electric antenna, cruise control and more. This is a fabulous opportunity to purchase the best and last year of the Lincoln Mark series for about the price of the sales tax alone on a new Lincoln!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this Lincoln Mark V is in fair to good mostly all original condition throughout. As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the paint has a nice shine on the side surfaces but shows much wear and fading on the top surfaces with various areas of nicking, bubbling, pitting and scraping. The original padded vinyl top is tattered with much flaking. One wheel is missing the center cap with decent tires all around.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Lincoln is in quite good near-new original condition overall. The velour seating is in exceptional condition with the interior featuring working five-digit odometer which I am told is accurate, working am/fm/8 track radio with a few music selections included. The horn blinkers and wipers all work though the windows are inop [you press the switch and can hear motors working but the gears are not catching]. A/c not blowing cold, clock works, rear view mirror needs to be re-glued. Inside the rear boot you will find the jack sticker and original spare tire.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Lincoln starts, runs, shifts, brakes and rides quite well with fingertip light power steering, smooth acceleration and a whisper quiet ride! The brake pedal is low and hard [possible booster replacement needed] and there is a bit of excess engine noise due to bad exhaust manifold gasket.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

2017 Lincoln Continental garnering strong interest

Sun, Apr 3 2016

According to Automotive News, Lincoln has a list of about 40,000 people who have expressed interest in the brand's upcoming Continental sedan. While that may sound paltry next to the 250,000 people or so who have so far put deposits down for a Tesla Model 3, it's great news for Ford's luxury brand. "This is the most buzz I've seen in a long, long time," says Dan Marks, chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council. Lincoln is riding a wave of increased interest in 2016, having topped 100,000 sales last year. Prior to that, the last time that milestone was passed was way back in 2008. As is the case with most automakers, though, much of Lincoln's sales boost can be traced back to strong demand for crossovers like the MKX and SUVs like the Navigator. That makes 2017 an interesting time for Lincoln to be relaunching the Continental sedan. We can expect to see lots of marketing leading to its launch. "Extensive prelaunch activities" are planned, Matt VanDyke, director of global Lincoln, told Automotive News. We'll have to wait a little while longer before we know whether all that pent-up interest leads to actual sales. Or, put another way, whether the 2017 Continental will be a mic drop moment or a big flop.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
