SOME HISTORY FROM THE BINDER (Used by a typewriter):

“In 1976, Fred Smith, owner of Fred Smith Lincoln Mercury of Independence, Missouri, purchased this car from the original owner.  This showcase vehicle was personally used by Mr. Smith for Shriner parades and other classic displays.  During the twelve years Mr. Smith owned the car ’76-’88 extensive restoration work be factory trained authorized Lincoln mechanics was performed on the engine, transmission, electrical and brakes.  At 70,000 miles Good Year wide white radial tires were included.  Since 1988 to present, current owner has continued maintaining & driving this car weekly (weather permitting) restoration on body & chrome including clock, radio, mirrors & knobs all restored to original.  Carefully and correctly maintained a grand representation to end of an era.”

From what I can tell from the binder in 1993 the car had extensive restoration again to perfection by Baker’s Auto in Putnam, CT. at a cost of approx. $30,000.  Very little miles since this restoration have been placed on this car.

The air conditioner needs a new compressor as the existing one is frozen.  All controls/fan for the a/c work properly.  Heater works.  The rubber seals for the top on top of the windshield are missing.  The radio is not original but in working condition.

Please contact me with any questions or if additional photos are needed.  The car is located in Fort Lauderdale Florida, buyer to arrange shipping if needed.  Inspections are welcomed, this car is stunning in person, the photos just don’t do it justice.  Very reasonable Buy It Now Price with book values much higher.  Will consider reasonable offers only.

This is near flawless automobile and one of the remaining 2,276 that were manufactured and sold that year.  These cars have been doing nothing but climb in value and popularity based on their incredible lines and the fact that they have been seen on television and in the many movies.  These cars are nothing short of incredible to drive and enjoy and have incredible class and presence! Thumbs up wherever you go.

Car is sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied.  Information herein given to the best of seller's knowledge. I am happy to speak on the phone with anyone, just ask for my number.  Thank you.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln 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.

2017 Lincoln Continental spied inside and out

Thu, Jul 9 2015

Lincoln certainly made us stand up and take notice when it unveiled the Continental concept at the New York Auto Show this past March. Showcars, however, are only worth so much if they never reach production. But as these latest spy shots indicate, Ford's luxury division is hard at work taking the new Conti from show floor to showroom. The team from Dearborn has clearly gone to great lengths to disguise this prototype, wrapping it in a new type of camouflage with trompe l'oeil bulbous-looking shapes to keep us from seeing just how close the production version will keep to (or how far it may stray from) the concept's design. Our spy photographers did, however, manage to snap some shots of the inside through the side glass, and though it's still evidently some ways off from reaching production, some key details give us an idea of what to expect. Look closely and you can make out the buttons for the transmission running down the side of the infotainment screen, just like on other new Lincolns. The chromework appears to have been toned down some from the blinged-out dashboard of the showcar, but it may be too early to say how much shine there will be to the production model. The overall design of the center console looks pretty darn close to the version we saw in New York, though. The Continental is expected to replace the MKS, as Lincoln moves away from alphabetical nomenclature back towards actual nameplates. Assembly is slated to be undertaken in Flat Rock, MI. There are a great many more details yet to be uncovered, but as far as early indications go, it looks like Lincoln is well on its way to making its concept a reality. Related Video:

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
