1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass Edition on 2040-cars
Gaston, North Carolina, United States
Offered here in a NO RESERVE auction is a 1979 Bill Blass edition Lincoln Mark V. I have owned this beautiful automobile for over 10 years. During that time the car has been dependable and well cared for. The 400cu. V8 engine runs strong. Transmission shifts smoothly. Body work is pretty much done. Many new parts, including new gas tank, fuel lines, and float last year. Car body is straight. Body side moldings are in remarkable condition. These are usually dinged to death on most cars from this era. Not so here. Beautiful chrome overall. One exception is the passenger side mirror. Chrome on that mirror is fair at best. Car has upgraded Collector Series Ebony wood interior. RARE WORKING AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO. Power windows, antenna, and trunk release work. AC blows COLD. Leather interior is in great shape for its age. Coveted driver side thermometer mirror works! Is illuminated at night. Last year I moved to a lakefront home so this year I am selling my land yacht so I can buy a real boat.
Features that don't work. Power door locks. I replaced the actuators a few years back so its probably the switches on the door panel. Power seats have limited adjustment. Speed control worked until I replaced the steering wheel with one from a Collector Series car. So again, its probably just the switch in the steering wheel pad. This is a used, 35 year old automobile, and as such does not have a warranty. There are typical age related imperfections inside and out. There is a small tear in the headliner above the driver side sun visor. The fiberglass fascia beneath the driver side headlamp cover is cracked. This damage was done by the mechanic shop that rebuilt the carburator some years back. I have a complete new fascia in white that will come with the car if you want it. Pictures of these imperfections have been provided for you to review. I also have the rocker panel moldings that were removed when the body work was done. They are in fair shape and will be included. The canvas top has been replaced and looks beautiful. But car must now be hand-washed. Do not run it through a high pressure car wash. While the car is weathertight and will not leak even in a torrential rain, a commercial high pressure wash will cause water to penetrate the door windows at their top edges. I have tried to cover all possible questions about the car. If you have a question please contact me. I have a clear NC title on hand. TERMS OF SALE.

2019 Lincoln Nautilus commercials bring back Matthew McConaughey, plus pool
Fri, Dec 21 2018It's that time of year again, folks, time for another kind of strange, awkward Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial. And, yes, checking back when each ad comes out, it's usually in Decemeber or near the end of the year that these ads are released. This latest ad has the actor hanging out with a group of friends having a generic conversation about something over dinner. They all then head inside, and McConaughey breaks away from the group to walk to a pool table, and he promptly makes a trick shot on the pool table while a woman says "I've never seen that before." This leads to clips of McConaughey getting into a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and driving it on beautiful backroads. And before he starts driving, there's a shot of the instrument cluster with a bunch of driver aid options displayed. The woman's words come in again, and he follows it up with his own words, "I have." This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Basically, the idea is that the trick shot of the cue ball threading between other billiard balls is like how the Lincoln driver aids help keep the Nautilus under control. Except it's a vague, awkward way of doing it, which is also par (above par?) for the course of McConaughey Lincoln ads. A much better ad accompanies the actor's version. This one features a real trick pool player making some clever shots to illustrate the individual features available on the luxury crossover. They're legitimately nifty shots, and the features are clearly explained. Maybe all of Lincoln's ads should have this pool player. Related Video:
2020 Lincoln Corsair will be revealed at the New York Auto Show
Wed, Mar 27 2019It's official, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair will be revealed at the New York Auto Show this April. To go along with the announcement is a teaser video that, well, doesn't reveal much of anything except the crossover's name prominently displayed on the front fender. But we know a fair bit about the crossover from spy shots and prior announcements. The Corsair is the successor to the MKC, Lincoln's smallest crossover, which is also based on the Ford Escape. We expect that it will continue to be based on the Escape, albeit the completely redesigned one that hasn't yet been revealed. That also means powertrains will probably be shared, but the Lincoln might get one or two model-specific powertrains like with the Lincoln Aviator. Reportedly, the new Corsair will feature turbocharged 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter four-cylinder engines along with a plug-in hybrid. Spy shots have revealed that the Corsair will have styling closely related to that of the larger Aviator. That means a floating roof, more broad-shouldered nose, and large amounts of glass. The inside is also inspired by the Aviator and Navigator and features piano-key shift buttons, a low, wide dash and a healthy amount of chrome. 2020 Lincoln Corsair spied View 16 Photos
Electric Lincoln Corsair-E coming in 2026, report says
Wed, Jan 20 2021An electric Lincoln Corsair is on the way, Automotive News reports. It’s currently scheduled to arrive in 2026 and will be built at the Oakville, Ontario, assembly plant. Automotive NewsÂ’ source for this information is AutoForecast Solutions LLC, an automotive global forecasting company. “At this point, weÂ’re not sure if it will completely replace the Corsair or if there will be an equivalent gas-powered Corsair. But they would be on two different platforms,” Sam Fiorani, vice-president of AutoForecast Solutions, told Automotive News. The vehicle is currently going by the name of Corsair-E. ItÂ’s no surprise to see that it would require a new platform to build. The Corsair is currently riding on the Ford EscapeÂ’s platform, and the highest level of electrification seen there is a plug-in hybrid variant. This electric Corsair will be one of many EVs/electrified vehicles being manufactured at the Oakville plant in the coming years. It was announced late last year that Ford would build five new electrified models there this decade, with the first scheduled to roll off the assembly line in 2025 and the last in 2028. This could mean full EVs or hybrids, but the split is unknown so far. Ford still isnÂ’t talking about its specific plans with this Canadian plant. Automotive News received the standard, Ford “does not comment on future products” response when it queried the Blue Oval. In the meantime, anyone wanting their electrified Lincoln Corsair fix can find it in the Corsair Grand Touring PHEV going on sale soon. Related video:
