One Owner, Clean Carfax, 49600 Original Miles on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
|
The car: 1990 Lincoln Town Car, top of line Cartier
Edition, Bisque Frost Metallic with beige leather and every available option
including the rare power sunroof. One non smoking owner with a staggering
49600 original miles and a Clean Carfax. A full 18 feet of the finest luxury,
fuel efficient and reliable cars to ever come out of Detroit. This was the last series of Panther platform series Town cars to be built with body on full frame, a ride that would never again be matched by the later unibody cars. Probably the smoothest ride of any car I have ever driven, short of a Rolls Royce. The car has been
inspected and thoroughly serviced by our service department and is in perfect mechanical condition. Every button, switch and function of the car is in perfect working order. The AC is cold and the heat is hot. There are zero fluid leaks of any kind. The rear air suspension is perfect and fully functional. The paint shines like new with no fading anywhere. There are no squeaks, rattles, or otherwise unusual noises. The car spent its entire life in Louisville Ky, and there is no rust anywhere on the car. I have personally driven this car over 500 miles and have averaged 17 mpg in town and 25 plus on the highway. No car is perfect, so here are the few small items. The original radio works but not great (crackles and static etc at low volume). I would replace it but I'm sure who ever buys the car would want to choose their own. From the top of the rear window the headliner was loose about 4 inches across the back window. It has been tucked back into place. The rest of the headliner is perfectly fine. There are a few small dings on the hood and trunk. They are impossible to photograph and very hard to see in daylight, unless you are absolutely looking for them. The sides of the car are perfect. No dings, scratches, period. This is possibly the finest, lowest mile car we have ever offered at this price in our 27 years in business. Contact Ed at 859-231-6420 8am to 5pm Here's what our service department did to make the car sale ready. The battery was replaced, the actuator for the HVAC air directionals was replaced (air was blowing to floor only). The right rear window regulator was replaced. All fluids replaced, coolant, brake fluid, transmission and oil. Brand new tires. The brake pads are 80% or better with zero vibration. The car has not been detailed in any way. It was hand washed and vacuumed and pictures taken. Who we are: We, The Auto Gallery, have been a fully licensed dealer and full repair facility in Kentucky for 27 years. I very rarely put cars on Ebay, so I am using my personal account to do so. A dealer friend says I "HAVE" to get cars on Ebay so here goes. We are A+ rated by the BBB and in fact, have never in our history, had to respond to a BBB complaint. Not one, not ever. Please folks, if you have any questions ASK. You might not like what I have to say but it will be the truth. The fine print: Car is available locally so auction will be ended if another buyer steps up before auction end. Payment accepted is cash on delivery or wire transfer. The starting bid is not the reserve. It is extremely reasonable and less than some others I have seen sold on Ebay. This is an auction, please do not ask what the reserve is. If you want to make an offer thats fine. Upon payment, you will receive clean and clear title and a 45 day temporary tag. We do not charge bogus "documentation fees" like some do. I do not require a deposit at auction end, however the winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours to arrange pick up and payment. If they do not, I will assume they were yanking my chain and I will cancel the sale. Vehicle is to be paid for withing 7 days regardless of being able to be physically present. Longer than 7 days I do not charge storage. I will assist in any way possible with transport. We are 5 minutes from the airport. |

High-tech, remote-controlled Golden Sahara II custom car going for auction
Mon, Mar 19 2018Imagine a vehicle with automatic braking, remote operation, self-opening doors and a big screen on the dash. You're probably imaging a Tesla Model X, but we're actually talking about a car called the Golden Sahara II, a custom car originally built in the 1950s, and it's going for auction at Mecum's event in Indianapolis. According to Mecum, this custom car started out as a 1953 Lincoln Capri owned by George Barris, the man who created the original Batmobile. He didn't have it long before it ended up in a crash that led him to use it for a major custom project. He teamed up James Skonzakes, known as Jim Street, to create and pay for the build. In 1954, the car was finished with wild body work, actual 24-karat gold-plated exterior trim and a pearlescent gold paint created from fish scales. It carried the name of Golden Sahara, and it cost $25,000 to build. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In 1956, Street decided to invest a whole lot more into the car. He sent it to a shop in Dayton, Ohio where it was fitted with a myriad of high-tech features. These included a central control stick that could operate the throttle, steering and braking, push-button steering controls on the dashboard for both the driver and the passenger, a remote control for moving it slowly and for opening the doors. It had sonar antennae at the front for automatic braking, a TV in the center stack, a radio, a phone, and even a cocktail cabinet in the back and mink carpeting. All of these features were on display when Street appeared with the car on the TV show I've Got a Secret, seen above, as well as in a period news story in which Street's wife demonstrated the features including the light-up wheels and tires for turn signals. That clip is visible below. The total cost of the car, now called Golden Sahara II, was $75,000. Adjusted for inflation, that's nearly $700,000. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Eventually, Street stopped showing the Golden Sahara II, but he never got rid of it. It was recently found in his garage, and the car will finally go for auction in May at Mecum's Indianapolis auction. The car will be sold in unrestored condition, which looks to be fairly rough, but savable. It appears the remotes are still there, too. The car will be auctioned with no reserve, so it will have a new owner.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Lincoln Continental Concept has arrived on the New York stand
Thu, Apr 2 2015The return of the Lincoln Continental, albeit in concept form, has not been without controversy. Bentley chief designer Luc Donckerwolke going as far as to call the car a "copy" of its own Flying Spur, offering to send the British sedan's tooling to Detroit. But while debate can rage over any similarities – you can and should head over and vote in our poll on the matter – can we all at least agree to see something interesting happening with Lincoln design? Gone are unattractive styling trademarks like Lincoln's winged grille, while less polarizing elements like the vehicle-spanning taillights have been refined. The three-box design, meanwhile, dismisses the coupe-like stylings of the latest MKZ , opting for a long hood, short deck and a more traditional three-box layout. The advantage of that, of course, is cabin space. The Continental is designed for rear-seat passengers, offering opulent, Venetian leather seats with Alcantara inserts and 30-way adjustability. Just so we're clear, we have a hard time even thinking of 30 different ways to adjust a seat, so well played Lincoln. The headliner is satin, a briefcase sits in each back rest and dedicated tray tables allow for work on the go. It's plush, even in the world of pie-in-the-sky concepts. Check out our latest batch of live photos of the all-new Continental Concept, live from its stand at the 2015 New York International Auto Show.
