Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States
I FOUND THIS CAR IN A 92 YEAR OLD NEIGHBORS GARAGE. THE CAR LOOKS IN GREAT SHAPE. I CAN FIND NO RUST ON IT. PAINT HAS A FEW CHIPS AND A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BUFF OUT EASY. INTERIOR LOOKS GREAT. ONLY TEARS IN LEATHER ARE ON DOOR STRAPS WHICH SEEM TO BE COMMON IN EVERY LINCOLN THIS AGE. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND SEEMS TO RUN WELL. PROBABLY NEEDS A TUNE UP AND THE CARBORATOR CLEANED, AS THE GENTLEMA N SAYS IT WAS HIS WIFES CAR AND SHE PASSED AWAY 15 YEARS AGO. TRANSMISSION SEEMS GREAT. SHIFTS SMOOTH, NO PROBLEM. CLOCK DOESNT WORK AND AC DOESNT BLOW COLD. COMES WITH CLOTH COVER AND ALL THE MANUALS SHOWN IN PICTURE. GREAT FIND FOR A 40 YEAR OLD CAR IN DESERT SOUTHWEST. CAR IS NOT REGISTERED SO WILL NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO SHIP. WARRANTY AS IS. NEED A $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AT END OF AUCTION. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AS I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
