good condition. It does have the typical small crack along left side of speaker
grille. Not sure why but nearly All these Lincolns have a crack there? Must
have been a design flaw? In addition to the interior Cost… We just had ALL
windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches. 1.
All Glass and window regulators etc. were completely removed
from doors, cleaned/ lubricated and reinstalled. 2.
Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly. SEE
PHOTO of Car with Top Down but Windows UP. It shows how perfectly even they are
when in up position. 3.
Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. This window service was an
additional $2,800 in labor/materials. -Vent fan works, radio works and power antenna goes up and down, as it should. -A/c needs charged/serviced from lack of use. Exterior: -The paint on the car is the factory “A” Code Black. This car has been repainted in its orig. BLACK color. Current condition of paint is good. Not concourse show quality but very nice driver. Buyer should expect to see some flaws in paint / minor dings in paint from storage. A few thin spots here and there where buffer went slightly through paint. Car is rust free and solid. The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted in its original Black color. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process. You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays. Great gloss shine. Good driver+ quality. Black is Beautiful!! Nothing better than an ORIGINAL
factory BLACK LINCOLN! Note 1: When the
car was restored a N.O.S hood was installed. This hood did not have the hood
ornament hole punched. We decided not to install it. I will include the orig.
hood ornament in sale for the buyer which can be easily installed by drilling a
hole for it.(I think it looks great without it) Note 2: We have a load photos of the process showing disassembly avail. By request. - Very dry and clean underneath with no rust! (See photos) -
Chrome on front and rear bumper is driver quality. -

done to the car including… -new spark plugs -new cap & rotor -new wires -Fresh Lube, Oil & Filter change last week -BRAND NEW White Wall Tires installed last week.

Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease and
it is quite the site to see!!! Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in good condition. Still fits nice and is soft.

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 plans electrified versions of all models by 2022, say sources
Fri, Sep 8 2017DETROIT - Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to offer hybrid gasoline-electric versions of all its U.S. models by 2022, according to three sources familiar with the plans. Details could be announced as early as Oct. 3, when Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett plans to update investors on the automaker's strategy. Company officials are also considering whether to introduce one or more all-electric Lincoln models, one source said. The proposed electrification scheme could be critical to Lincoln's future in China, which will require automakers to make electric vehicles an increasing percentage of their total sales. The Lincoln hybrids are part of a broader Ford program to offer at least 18 new electric and hybrid models over the next five years, the sources said. Lincoln aims to follow a path blazed this year by several European premium brands, including Daimler AG, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's Volvo Cars, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which have announced plans to offer more hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Global luxury brands are responding to competitive pressure from Elon Musk's Tesla Inc, and proposals by the Chinese government to mandate significantly higher levels of electric vehicle sales in the world's largest auto market. The plan to offer a portfolio of Lincoln hybrid models was crafted before Hackett took over in May, the sources said. Ford said in January 2016 it would spend $4.5 billion to electrify a portion of its U.S. fleet, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and the F-150, and at least 11 other models. The extent of its electrification effort, including details on specific new and redesigned models, has not previously been disclosed. A Ford spokesman said the company would not comment on future products. As the Lincoln brand rolls out redesigned versions of its existing models and introduces at least one new model, it is planning to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of those vehicles, beginning with the redesigned MKC crossover and the new Aviator crossover in 2019, the sources said. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator utility vehicle, which goes on sale this autumn, is expected to add a conventional hybrid version in 2019. Subsequent redesigned Lincoln models, including the MKZ sedan in 2020 and the Continental sedan and MKX crossover in 2022, are expected to include plug-in hybrid variants, the sources said.
Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?
Fri, 18 Jan 2013There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Put another way, Lincoln is considering ways to allow buyers to customize their new vehicles right off the showroom floor, similar to how things are done at Mini, and, to a lesser extent, Scion, where Farley previously served as corporate manager. Imagine, for instance, ordering a new MKC with a large Lincoln insignia embossed into the leather seatbacks, according to Automotive News.
While we're not so sure anybody is all that interested in paying extra for more Lincoln logos, it's a strategy that has proven rather fruitful at Mini. Only time will tell if Ford's erstwhile luxury division will once again be seen as something truly worth reaching for, and if customers are willing to pay a further premium for customization.
