Up for sale is an immaculate 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 fully bagged and in a perfect black on black paint and interior combination. This epic 19 foot or 5.8 meter land yacht is quite possibly the longest and the last of the massive 2 door America cars. As the absolute epitome of luxury in its day, the Mk5 is one of the most comfortable and highly factory optioned cars America ever produced. From the signature Cartier clock, to the walnut dash and steering wheel inlays, the ridiculously comfortable double padded leather seats and every power option imaginable, driving this rolling palace always leaves a smile on your face.

This gorgeous one owner all original example has been garage kept and a cozy 72 degrees almost its whole life, and has not seen a drop of rain since 1982! Needless to say this is a completely rust free car as evident by its showroom quality perfectly straight original black paint.

For the ultimate cruiser feel, and because this massive car just looks so sweet laid flat on the ground, the Lincoln has been fitted with a custom Air Ride Tech air bag kit. Starting with a Big Red solenoid kit to cope with the impressive 5,042 pound or 2.3 ton curb weight of the Mk5, a pair of 5 gallon tanks and twin compressors give you full adjustability through the RidePro digital control system. Helping the Continental get that perfect slammed stance are a set of 14x7 Zenith wire wheels with real knock-offs.

Both compressors and tanks are custom fitted in the trunk along with components from the new custom sound system. Only the best JL Audio components were used, including a pair of W6 10 inch subwoofers in a custom wrapped box to match the trunk and a pair of 300/4 amplifiers. On the dash replacing the factory stereo is a Kenwood head unit. 

With only 49,000 miles on the all original 6.6L 400CI Cleveland v8 engine, this strip and show cruiser has many more years to give. This is your chance to own an absolute crowd pleaser, guaranteed to get smiles and thumbs up from anyone you pass, this timeless classic really has to be seen to be appreciated. Whether it be the arrow straight roads of the high desert, or a nostalgia festival in car crazy Scandinavia, to a traditional lowrider show at Mooneyes Tokyo, this pristine 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk5 is an absolute joy to drive.

Please feel free to call me for any more information. (408) 930-8959

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?

Sun, 02 Dec 2012

Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
AOL Autos' associate editor Peter Bigelow went deeper in his criticism. Have a read: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is A Flop.
