This is an all original true 1983 Lincoln Mark VI Emilio Pucci Edition Coupe. This is the rarest of all the designer versions of the Mark VI. The Pucci Edition coupe was only made for part of the year in 1983. This was also the last year of the Mark VI as well. This Mark VI Pucci is as original as you can find. This specific model of Mark VI is very rare and very hard to find. I will try to describe this car with as much detail as I know. The car has NO rust at all on the body. The bottom of the car is rot free and rust free. There is no rust/rot on the car anywhere top to bottom. The person I bought it from brought the car in the southwest back in mid 2000's. The owners he bought it off said it was a Arizona car its whole life. I have no official proof of this but do to the lack of rust I would agree that it was a southwest car. Since the mid 2000's it has been always kept inside and has never seen snow. The car is the proper and Original Emilio Pucci colors of Dark Blue Cambria soft top and Blue Flannel Mist paint with a light blue velour interior. The soft top is in great shape not dried out or cracked or faded at all. The paint on the car is faded by the sun. I did polish one spot and the shine does come back but in a few spots the paint has pealed so repainting or touch up will be needed for it to be perfect. The paint faded very uniformly and not almost looks like a Matte blue finish it doesn't have that ugly clear coat pealing that most sun faded cars have. All the chrome and bright work is great and very shinny. It has the original Lincoln wheels with matching spare. The driver side taillight is cracked but i have a whole oem light cluster I will include with it. I just haven't had time to swap the taillight. There is a few small dents here and there but all very small and are far less then most 30 year old cars. The interior is very nice and all original and clean not rips or tears or stains. The Velour seats are pillow top style and super soft and in great shape. The power seats, windows, lights, instrument cluster, locks, wipers heat, blower and even cruise control work well. The lights are the optional auto dimming and light sensing type and still work. The radio is the original factory upgraded unit with the surround sound that was optional in 1983. The volume control is a bit flakey at times so i have another original radio same style I will include. But current radio does work I just am trying to list every detail I know of. This Mark VI has the optional digital dash and multi-function trip computer. All the buttons and modes for the digital dash work as the should as well. The headliner is clear and not sagging at all. Carpet is still good and is the original designer style carpet I still have original mats as well. The dash has cracks from the sun but it has a dash cover on it. All the faux wood in the car is perfect. There is NO rust in the door jams or any other spot. The car also has the optional key-less code entry system that still works. The car drives and runs great starts every time and runs smooth. Brakes work well and it drives smooth like a cloud. It is very low mileage with only 78,826 miles. The engine is the fuel injected 5.0 and sounds great and is smooth even when it is cold. The Mark VI still has its original vin/build plate under the hood that shows its specific Pucci build number. This is the rarest Lincoln Mark VI out there and is a great car. I was hoping to keep it but i have so many other toys/projects right now I could drive and enjoy this car like it deserves. I tried to describe it to the best of my abilities please ask any questions you may have.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
Lincoln reignites the Navigator with bold concept
Wed, Mar 23 2016The Lincoln Navigator's demise has been greatly exaggerated, and nearly 20 years after it first revolutionized the luxury segment, a new generation of the iconic sport-utility vehicle will again point the way forward for the brand. Previewed by a concept at the New York Auto Show, the new Navigator will hit showrooms next year joining the much-anticipated Continental sedan as Lincoln's twin flagships. The concept is "a very strong" hint of what the production Navigator will look like, Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. He's referring to the general appearance of the tall concept, which is confident, creased, and a bit reminiscent of a Range Rover. There are huge wheels, lots of chrome, and "Navigator" spelled out in blocked capital letters over the fender vents. It runs a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 making 400 horsepower and will ride on a new chassis, though Galhotra wouldn't offer more details. Oh, and it has gullwing doors. The crowd audibly oohed and aahed when that feature was demonstrated at a preview event in New York, but those are purely for show. They won't be on the production model, Galhotra said, and they're meant to demonstrate the spacious cabin. "The nature of the vehicle is very important ... and it's a great way to showcase that interior," he said. The inside of the concept is an interesting place. It has a rear cargo area that doubles as a closet, complete with shelves that make up a wardrobe management system, and there's a rail running down the middle of the passenger area. A multi-level running board cascades forward when the gullwing doors open, and the six seats are adjustable 30 ways. There are also wifi-equipped touchscreen monitors mounted in the seat backs. Inside and out, the Navigator carries a nautical vibe. It's covered in a soft shade of blue paint, while the interior has blue leather and teak accents. The Navigator concept features some of Ford's semi-autonomous technology, including pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection. The radar-and-camera-based system will look for obstacles in the vehicle's path, warn the driver, and then brake if needed. It also has a 360-degree camera and lane-keeping assist. Look for all of this on the production model. Launched in 1997, the Navigator is one of the original all-American large luxury SUVs – the Cadillac Escalade didn't arrive until 1999.
