This beautiful Lincoln is being sold to settle the estate of Ms. Shirley Musick. She purchased the car from Bailey Lincoln in Ft. Worth in Oct. of '84 preowned. Ever since, the car has been parked on the left side of the garage of her home in the Lytle Shores neighborhood (around a private lake in Abilene, Tx.). We lost Miss Shirley in Feb., the house has been sold, and now the Lincoln.
I removed the car from her garage Friday. Drove around the loop, had it washed (not detailed), and what a wonderful car this is !! I had one new, and had forgot just how comfortable and quite these Lincoln's are. This is a very nice, original car.
First off, this Mark has always been in service. Never stored, or neglected. Showing 87,000 miles. Not bad for 31 years! If you remember the metallic paints from this era, they did not hold up well, especially in the extremely hot, West Texas climate. The paint really is nice, very shiny, and all without having been detailed. There are very few, minor blemishes you would expect on a car of this age. Nothing that distracts from just how nice it is. NO RUST! EVER! ANYWHERE! Abilene is hot, and very dry! Our cars do not rust.
I only drove the car about 25 miles, and everything seems to be in working order. The only issues I noticed, the power antenna does not work. Everything else seems fine. The digital dash is perfect. Seats, windows -- all good. The leather on the seats is in amazing condition. They are still extremely soft, and really comfortable. The vinyl top is soft, no cracking. Tires look good and so does the spare.
Took some pictures of the car on a lift, you can see that the undercarriage is in great condition. Again, NO RUST!
A car dealer friend told me that it's hard to find any nice car to drive for this price, especially a collector type that looks this good. Wish I had the room........

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*
Wed, 21 May 2014Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
