1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car on 2040-cars

Year:1979 Mileage:64123 Color: in good condition with a few minor

Denver, Colorado, United States

 This is a beautiful, well cared for, 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, with the extremely rare factory Fixed Glass Moonroof option. There were only approximately 1,500 made in 1979 with this option. Mine was owned for the last 25+ years by an older gentleman, James, and this was his 'Dream Car', as the monogrammed dash protector indicates.

Metallic blue with white padded coach top, and plush Kashmir Velour interior, which was an extra option. This car has all conceivable options offered in 1979, including factory CB radio for extra safety on the road. In fact, short of the "Collector Series" insignia on the side, this car has every option offered in 1979, and I think looks better than the Collector Series, which did not have the rear opera windows.

This is also a Lincoln Continental "Town Car". In the seventies, the "Town Car" was not the model, it was a trim level which designated the top of the line for the model. Not every Continental was a Town Car, but all Town Cars were Continentals.

This is the last year for the big Lincolns, and this was the largest production car in the world in 1979.

This car looks and runs great. I purchased it after the previous owner passed away, and his wife offered it for sale. The next day, I drove this classic land yacht over the Rockies, the Sierras, and back home to Denver across both mountain ranges. The ride was incredibly smooth and she performed without hesitation or incident. In other words, she drives smooth and strong and crossed the highest points in North America without a problem.

I only purchased her for this road trip, which is now complete. But since this was the 'Dream Car' of the prior owner, I feel a responsible to be the caretaker of this car. So while I am now selling it, and everything is factory original to the best of my knowledge, I have added to the care and love of this classic by putting on new tires, new shocks, new catalytic converter, new starter and recent oil change & engine servicing. I could have passed on the expense for these, but would like to send this unique car to its next owner in the best condition possible.

The interior is in excellent condition, and the exterior is in good condition. The car is 34 years old, and garaged, and the paint is original so there is some oxidation on the hood which I suspect could be buffed out, and a few minor chips in the paint. But you can see from the pictures that she is in all around good shape, no dents, scrapes, etc.

Everything is factory original and in working condition with the exception of the power door locks, which are a little slow, but likely just need an adjustment. Power windows, seats, antenna, stereo, cruise control, heat, A/C, etc. - all work.

My friends have been encouraging me to keep this car, but I have two others and I really don't need three.

If you're looking for a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, this is a nice one, and I suspect you'll find precious few in this condition, and next to none with the rare factory fixed glass moonroof.

I would love to find a good and caring home for this classic gem.

Ford recalling 830,000 vehicles to replace side door latches

Thu, Aug 4 2016

The Basics: Ford is conducting a recall for roughly 830,000 models. The affected vehicles include the 2013 to 2015 Ford C-Max, 2012 to 2015 Ford Focus, 2013 to 2015 Ford Escape, 2015 Lincoln MKC, 2015 Ford Mustang, and 2014 to 2016 Ford Transit Connect. The recall is focused primarily in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, California, Arizona, Hawaii, Georgia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon as the problem mostly affects cars in states with warm weather. The Problem: The pawl spring tab in the side door latch in the affected vehicles could break, preventing the door from latching and could even cause the door to open while driving. Injuries/Deaths: There is one reported injury and one reported accident. The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected cars' side door latches. If you own one: Reach out to your local Ford dealer to schedule a service.

Lincoln MKC Concept shows real promise [w/video]

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

Ford's efforts to resuscitate its moribund Lincoln luxury brand began in earnest with the introduction of its 2014 MKZ sedan, a model many labeled as the marque's make-or-break offering. Of course, one model does not a comeback make, and with the MKZ just now starting to trickle into dealers, it will be some time before America's jury of consumers comes in with their judgment. More to the point, it's likely to take better than a decade's worth of products and sustained marketing effort to even begin to figure out whether Lincoln has a shot at redemption or if it will die of Mercury poisoning. After all, rival General Motors has been pouring resources into Cadillac since the late '90s, and if the sales charts are any guidance, it's still probably too early to declare its rebirth a success.
Certainly, a brand with Ford's resources, free of distractions (read: the now-defunct Premier Auto Group and various other side projects) should be able to successfully market a single luxury brand, particularly one with such a rich - if distant - history. Especially now with the Blue Oval enjoying more consumer goodwill than at any time in recent history. So let's all give Alan Mulally and friends a little room to work, eh?
We can start by focusing on the compact crossover seen before you, the Lincoln MKC Concept. Riding atop the same global C-platform that underpins the Ford C-Max, Escape and Focus, the MKC showcar here presages a production small CUV that will stick its distinctive nose into one of the auto industry's fastest-growing segments.

2017 Lincoln Continental reimagined as a coupe

Thu, Jan 21 2016

If nothing else, the production version of the Lincoln Continental has provided ample water-cooler fodder around the office. There are a few camps: the "it took guts to build it" folks giving credit where due on a handsome design with an ambitious interior, and the "MKZ misstep" group haranguing the Motor Company for blowing fancy new styling cues on a lesser beast. And yet, unifying forces exist. We can all agree that these artist renders depicting a Continental sans a pair of doors present a captivating notion. Back in 1939, the original Continental was a two-door. Over time, four doors of various types, including convertibles, infiltrated the lineup. The last time the Continental was on sale, it was a four-door front-driver based on the platform shared with the Mercury Sable and Ford Taurus. Even though the new production Continental, like that penultimate one, is based on a front-drive platform, the execution is much different. As you probably already know, it features a so-far unique 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and an advanced torque-vectoring AWD system, standard. Some neat concept car touches, like the fancy door handles and patented 30-way adjustable seats, made it in. What a two-door would bring to the table is mainly stylistic, emphasizing the long parallel character line in the door with brightwork running under the window that's echoed in the lower door sculpting and chrome strip. It accentuates the car's length, and calls attention to the trim taillights and their interconnecting bar element. A longer door makes for a more elegant transition into the C-pillar. It makes the production Continental, with its blacked-out but still obviously chunky B-pillar, look fussy. We don't expect Lincoln to build a coupe – that may be too wild for a company that doesn't seem completely comfortable with the notion of reinvention – but these renders were just too good not to share. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Related Video:
