Thanks for viewing this very rare luxury group Mark IV. Its rarity stems from the fact that few Marks in 1976 were produced with the combination of the dark emerald exterior paint you see in the photos paired with a dark green leather interior trimmed in silver that signifies the luxury group package. Most jade luxury package cars with this option configuration featured a very light jade exterior with the dark green leather interior. They are certainly attractive cars in their own right, but the combination you see before you is superior in my opinion. My favorite time to drive is in the evening, just as the sun is going down, because often times the light of the setting sun will play off beautiful paintwork in unexpected ways and it is especially true with this deep green coloring and that long, generous hood. In fact, on one such evening I swear that the entirity of a gorgeous pink-red sunset was reflected in that tremendous expanse of metalwork underwhich hummed that big, smooth 460. Needless to say I drove due west much further than I had planned, until the sun had disappeared below the horizon and the spectacular, impromptu lightshow to which I'd been treated finally reached an end. The special thing about this Lincoln is that even though nature's beauty had darkened until morning, that treat was replaced by the soft green glow of the gauge cluster and the Cartier clock illuminating the interior and casting shadows on the dark leather all around, which was about the best substitute I can imagine.
This Mark is an extremely well cared-for example that shows a level of preservation that you will look long and hard to match, if you ever manage to do so. A good friend of mine in the collector car world who has followed Marks avidly for more than a decade called it the best he has ever seen. The interior is absolutely flawless -- the seats, the armrests, and steering wheel -- and the paint and brightwork are equally spectacular. It sits on correct Michelin X tires and appears in every other way to be the ideal of originality. A modern stereo is the only deviation from this status, but it is hidden nicely in the glovebox and only adds to the joy of driving this fine automobile.
If you are a serious buyer I would love to speak with you, because for the next few weeks this car is for sale. I am not a terribly motivated seller because of its color combination and condition, but I feel I must put this Lincoln out here for the world to see and for someone to possibly acquire or my collection becomes a hoarding of beautiful objects rather than a celebration of what a select group of American men and women of drive and character and vision were able to create, which is really what a car collection should be. So if the photographs I have included move you as much as owning this car has moved me, then hopefully I will hear from you, if only to voice your appreciation of this car or to tell me your own Mark story, because I love to hear of the existence of other Lincolns that are truly treasured by their owners.
If you make an offer that I am seriously considering I will contact you via email before accepting it just to confirm that you are a real person and that you do understand the payment terms detailed in my listing. I find everything works much more smoothly if we touch base on these items.

Why the 2015 Lincoln MKC is 'holding some powder'
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Earlier this month in our first drive of the 2015 MKC, we told you that Lincoln finally had a new vehicle in its arsenal worth crowing about. So with the compact premium crossover now finding its way into dealers, why aren't you seeing its likeness plastered on billboards and barraging you on television? It's because Lincoln is "holding some powder."
Those are the words of Lincoln's global director, Matt VanDyke, who tells Autoblog that the company is holstering some of its marketing guns because it's keen to avoid repeating the ill-timed efforts that blighted its last rollout, the MKZ. That vehicle's launch early last year was beset by various delays related to manufacturing and quality. The cadence issue was so dire that by the time the model reached showrooms in volume, Lincoln had already blown most of its budget on things like Super Bowl ads that ran weeks or even months before customers could check one out in person. It was a particularly trying series of events for parent Ford because the MKZ and its oversized marketing spend were charged with relaunching the Lincoln brand to the public.
Keen to avoid repeating the same timing issue and mindful of consumers' habits at this time of year, Lincoln is taking a different strategy with the MKC. According to VanDyke, "What we don't want to do is try and fight the summertime - people using television being down, and other mass media when school's out. New television shows aren't on." Of course, that doesn't mean Lincoln is sitting idle. VanDyke says, "By no means are we quiet during the next 90 days. This year, we're going to really spend the next 60 to 90 days using digital and social media, in-theater advertising and the like, and once we have full availability at dealerships, we'll really ramp up the advertising later on in the summer." Part of that early media effort includes immersive digital marketing like Lincoln's clever Dream Rides web experience.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
Lincoln MKC Concept shows real promise [w/video]
Sun, 13 Jan 2013Ford's efforts to resuscitate its moribund Lincoln luxury brand began in earnest with the introduction of its 2014 MKZ sedan, a model many labeled as the marque's make-or-break offering. Of course, one model does not a comeback make, and with the MKZ just now starting to trickle into dealers, it will be some time before America's jury of consumers comes in with their judgment. More to the point, it's likely to take better than a decade's worth of products and sustained marketing effort to even begin to figure out whether Lincoln has a shot at redemption or if it will die of Mercury poisoning. After all, rival General Motors has been pouring resources into Cadillac since the late '90s, and if the sales charts are any guidance, it's still probably too early to declare its rebirth a success.
Certainly, a brand with Ford's resources, free of distractions (read: the now-defunct Premier Auto Group and various other side projects) should be able to successfully market a single luxury brand, particularly one with such a rich - if distant - history. Especially now with the Blue Oval enjoying more consumer goodwill than at any time in recent history. So let's all give Alan Mulally and friends a little room to work, eh?
We can start by focusing on the compact crossover seen before you, the Lincoln MKC Concept. Riding atop the same global C-platform that underpins the Ford C-Max, Escape and Focus, the MKC showcar here presages a production small CUV that will stick its distinctive nose into one of the auto industry's fastest-growing segments.
