   I'm selling this vehicle for my 82 year old Father who is suffering with alzheimer's disease.  Because of this, I can't not ask him any questions regarding this car.  My Father owned this vehicle nearly 30 years.  It was stored in a garage 99% of the time, usually taken out twice a year to display at a local automotive show.  During the many years that he owned this car, all he ever did was just wash and wax it.

Condition:  To the best of my knowledge he never had any mechanical or body work done.  The odometer shows approximately 48,000 miles,  I'm almost certain that he never drove it for more than 5,000 miles during the entire time he owned it.  The tires have decent tread but are mismatched, probably should be replaced as they have been sitting for years.   A/C does not blow cold. RH door ashtray lid does not stay closed.  Power door locks , electric antenna and cigar lighter do not function.  Not all of the electric seat adjusting switches work.  There is a spare tire but it is not mounted on a wheel.  Hide away headlamp doors must have a slow vacuum leak as they do not stay closed overnight.  I was not able to check the cruise control on my short test drive.  Engine starts right up and ran fairly well.  Transmission shifted smoothly.  Good brakes.  The body and paint are in good condition but do have various dings, paint chips, scratches and surface rust.  If you are interested in owning a low mileage classic car that needs some TLC to bring it back to its original glory then this car might be for you.

Early History:   From what I recall,  this car started its life in Iowa.  The owner had driven it for several years accumulating approximately 40,000 miles on it.  It was then stolen, the thieves eventually parked the car in a muti-level parking garage where it remained for years.  The parking garage must have been managed by idiots because it took years for them to notice the car and alert the authorities.  My Father then purchased the car from the insurance company that had paid the claim for the stolen car.  This history was told to me by word of mouth and I can't verify any of it.   If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.

Lincoln Navigator facelift only has to last until 2016 replacement

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

The Navigator is not only Lincoln's longest-serving nameplate - dating back to 1998 when the final Town Car was introduced - but it's also the oldest model still in the brand's portfolio. The current Navigator arrived on the market in 2007, and underwent a refresh just a few months ago for the 2015 model year. The updates were subtle, but if you're waiting for an all-new model, it's just a couple of years down the road.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is already working on an all-new replacement for the current, long-serving Navigator, which will be revealed two years from now in the middle of 2016 as a 2017 model. At that point, we're expecting it could switch (alongside the Expedition) to the new aluminum architecture introduced on the Ford F-150, seeing as how the current model is based on the old F-150.
In the meantime, the refreshed Navigator ditches the big 5.4-liter Triton V8 in favor of a more economical 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and wages war in two wheelbase lengths against the V8-powered competition in the form of the Cadillac Escalade (and Escalade ESV), the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX and the Infiniti QX80, which is based on the overseas Nissan Patrol.

Lincoln putting perfume on its sales

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Lincoln has a scent. But unlike those from Mustang, Lamborghini or even Shark by Tara, you can't buy it and you have to visit a Lincoln dealership to inhale its notes of jasmine hedione, mate tea leaves and tonka beans. Essence of Lincoln - that's what it's called - is being piped through the ventilation systems at some showrooms to help "create an emotional connection between the luxury brand and its customers," and olfactorily promote the idea of "luxury and warmth." Where it's not run through the ducts, visitors can sample it on scent cards.
Master perfumer Rene Morgenthaler worked with aroma house SensoryMax to design Essence of Lincoln. Also including traces of Earl Grey bergamot and green tea, whenever you encounter it you're meant to enjoy "a feeling of belonging to an exclusive, forward-thinking group that values style and success." And then buy an MKC. There's a press release below with details and an image to explain more, if you're still having a little trouble smelling the orange blossoms.
