for sale is this magnificent 1979 Lincoln Town Car. You
will be noticed when you drive this car!
Driving this car is like floating on a cloud; it’s very smooth. It has approximately 95,000 miles on it. This was my father's car and he was the original owner. I inherited the car upon his passing. Low reserve on the car. Here are some details about the car: Exterior: Overall, this is a very good looking car. The color is called “Wedgewood Blue”, Lincoln color-code 34. There is some surface rust in the usual places; it appears a bit deeper behind the passenger-side front fender. The chrome is in good shape, showing some light pitting in areas. There are some rust holes in the rear bumper, as pictured. The landau vinyl roof covering is intact, though a bit faded. There does not appear to be any rust under the vinyl roof. Engine: The engine is the 400-CID model with a 2-barrel carburetor. It runs on 87-octane unleaded gasoline. I had the car inspected for safety issues and the engine tuned in 2013. I had the ignition wires and spark plugs replaced. I also had the carb rebuilt and fuel system cleaned at the same time. Any suspect hoses were replaced. The transmission is the C-6 three-speed automatic transmission and shifts smoothly. The car gets around 10 miles per gallon. Interior: The spacious interior is in very good to excellent condition. The fabric is crushed velour and the color is “Wedgewood Blue”, the same as the exterior. The dashboard and doors have faux burled wood trim. The back seat and floor appear as if they have never been used. The front seat and floor show very little wear. However, the lower left hand part of the steering wheel by the cruise control shows a crack. All the fabric and carpeting are original. The AM / FM / 8-Track player is a “Quadraphonic” unit. The radio does work, however the 8-track doesn’t play. It also appears that one of the channels does not work. The power antenna does work properly. The Cartier “digital” clock works fine and keeps accurate time. On the tilting steering wheel you will see the controls for the automatic cruise control. The tilt works fine as does the cruise control. There is a small crack in the lower left hand part of the steering wheel trim, just below the trim on the wheel.
What’s Wrong: Here are the defects that I am aware of. There may be more, which is the reason I am selling the car “AS-IS”:

SNL, Jim Carrey late to the Lincoln MKC ad spoof party
Mon, 27 Oct 2014At this point, making fun of the Lincoln MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey is getting pretty old, though apparently Lincoln loves it. The commercials have been airing for over a month, but Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and even South Park have all taken their swipes at the spots with the smooth-talking actor monologuing about his new luxury crossover. Saturday Night Live might have finally killed the joke in its recent episode featuring Jim Carrey.
The problem certainly isn't that Carrey does a bad job in the spoofs, and he actually pulls off a pretty good McConaughey impression. They start out as pretty direct mimicry and slowly evolve into the absurd, including cracks at McConaughey's acting career and the way he rubs his thumb and finger together. Carrey certainly raises at least a chuckle at times, though.
However, the comedian's engaging performance can't take away from the fact that SNL has arriving to this mocking party pretty late in the game. The jokes just don't feel fresh anymore, so hopefully these ads put the final nails in the coffin for the riffs - at least until the next batch of Lincoln ads arrive.
2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
