HERE IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE: IT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT HAS THE VINYL ROOF FACTORY DELETE!! IT NEVER HAD ONE WHICH I BELIEVE MAKES IT CLASSICALLY BEAUTIFUL AND TOTALLY RUST FREE BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE MARK V'S RUST BADLY UNDER THE OPERA WINDOWS AND GENERALLY UNDER THE WHOLE VINYL ROOF.IT ALSO HAS SOME OF THE RARE OPTIONAL ITEMS SUCH AS THE CB RADIO, GARAGE DOOR OPENER ON THE VISOR, LUMBAR SEAT CONTROL,MILES TO EMPTY GUAGE WHICH WORKS,AM/FM QUADRASONIC ELECTRONIC 8 TRACK RADIO WITH DEALER TAPE, AND TRAILER TOW . IT DOES NOT HOWEVER HAVE THE MINIVENT WINDOWS OR MOONROOF OPTIONS.
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 15 YEARS, HAVING PURCHASED IT FROM THE SECOND OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT FROM HIS BUDDY WHEN IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD BEEN INSIDE STORAGE FOR 11 YEARS. EVERYTHING WAS DOUBLE COVERED! MATS ON TOP OF MATS AND BLANKETS ON TOP OF BLANKETS OVER THE SEATS AND IN THE TRUNK. SO ALL OF THE SEATS, CARPETS AND TRUNK ARE PRISTINE. IT HAS OF COURSE ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE BITS OF INFORMATION FOR YOU: I PUT IN A FACTORY NOS PRESS MOULDED ORIGINAL HOOD PAD A FEW YEARS AGO WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE AND STILL LOOKS NEW. I HAD THE DOUBLE STRIPE TIRES MADE TO ORDER AND THERE IS A FACTORY SPARE TO MATCH IN THE TRUNK. I DID THE BRAKES AND CALIPERS AND THEY WERE DETAILED AT THE TIME. THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WAS NEVER UNDERCOATED AND IS PRISTINE WITH NO RUST!. I HAVE DETAILED MOST OF IT, BUT PROBABLY NEEDS A DAY TO FRESHEN IT UP. I DID NOT UNERCOAT OR PAINT ANYTHING BLACK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE REAR ENDS AND GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS WERE NATURAL!!!!! NOT PAINTED!!!!!!!!!
THE PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY APPLIED PAINT IN PERFECT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO DINGS , DENTS OR PIMPLES. THE HAND PAINTED DARK RED STRIPE FROM THE FACTORY IS PERFECT. ALL OF THE DIE CAST IS ORIGINAL , WITH NO PITTING AND NO CRAZING. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND GUARDS WERE TRIPLE PLATED SHOW CHROMED. 2 OF THE WHEEL MOULDINGS HAD A COUPLE OF DINGS, SO I HAD THEM STRAIGHTENED, POLISHED AND RE-ANODIZED. HOWEVER THOSE TWO MADE THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE CRAZED, SO I HAD THEM ALL DOME AND THEY ARE GORGEOUS! I ALSO PUT IN A BRAND NEW MOTORCRAFT BATTERY.
THIS CAR ALWAYS DID 96-98 POINTS BY THE LCOC (LINCOLN AND CONTINENTAL OWNER'S CLUB). IT WILL NOW START BACK AS A BEGINNER AND THE NEW BUYER SHOULD DO WELL.
I AM NOW AGE 73 AND HAVE A LOT OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I CANNOT DO MY CAR THING ANY LONGER. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR! IT IS THE BEST MARK V I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND I'VE OWNED QUITE A LOT OF THEM

Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln 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.
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
