1979 Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition 

All Original Very Low miles 39,683

Car was purchased originally by Rex Greene the President of a large manufacturing company in Chicago IL. upon his passing in 1989 the car was stored till 1999 and it was sold to a collector in Michigan who kept the car in beautiful condition till last year when I acquired the car.  This beautiful Mark V has had a new fuel tank added instead of having it cleaned and the exhaust pipe was replaced due to a loading issue on the transport truck where it snapped a fitting so I decided to replace the pipes from the Y section coming from the catalectic converters. I also replaced the starter solenoid and a minor rubber hose which went to the carburetor.

All the electronics work perfect  Windows Doors Locks Seats - Vanity lights Dash board lights are like brand new bright greenish glow just like when it came from the factory. Radio Works and has an 8 Track Player. Takes me back to the Disco Era.  Power Antenna works perfect. Easier to list what doesn't work on this car and here it is.  The two front door speakers don't seem to put out much sound no idea why. Don't want to take the door panels apart for no reason. Still sounds great. Everything else on the car still work even the cruise control.  The paint on the car is very nice. The white sections have no chips or scratches as you can see by the photos. The blue sides have minor surface scratch. Around the drivers door key hole there are minor blemishes. I would not try to touch this up its part of its charm. The Carriage top is original in great shape also original very white no color one little corner seems to have a slight lift and I will have that addressed this week.

Carpets are beautiful and the Blue leather seats are like brand new, soft as the day it rolled off the assembly line. 

To many things to list here.

I have additional pictures on Flicker click on the link below to see all the photos.

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost

Tue, 13 Nov 2012

A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
