Thanks for viewing this very rare luxury group Mark IV. Its rarity stems from the fact that few Marks in 1976 were produced with the combination of the dark emerald exterior paint you see in the photos paired with a dark green leather interior trimmed in silver that signifies the luxury group package. Most jade luxury package cars with this option configuration featured a very light jade exterior with the dark green leather interior. They are certainly attractive cars in their own right, but the combination you see before you is superior in my opinion. My favorite time to drive is in the evening, just as the sun is going down, because often times the light of the setting sun will play off beautiful paintwork in unexpected ways and it is especially true with this deep green coloring and that long, generous hood. In fact, on one such evening I swear that the entirity of a gorgeous pink-red sunset was reflected in that tremendous expanse of metalwork underwhich hummed that big, smooth 460. Needless to say I drove due west much further than I had planned, until the sun had disappeared below the horizon and the spectacular, impromptu lightshow to which I'd been treated finally reached an end. The special thing about this Lincoln is that even though nature's beauty had darkened until morning, that treat was replaced by the soft green glow of the gauge cluster and the Cartier clock illuminating the interior and casting shadows on the dark leather all around, which was about the best substitute I can imagine.
This Mark is an extremely well cared-for example that shows a level of preservation that you will look long and hard to match, if you ever manage to do so. A good friend of mine in the collector car world who has followed Marks avidly for more than a decade called it the best he has ever seen. The interior is absolutely flawless -- the seats, the armrests, and steering wheel -- and the paint and brightwork are equally spectacular. It sits on correct Michelin X tires and appears in every other way to be the ideal of originality. A modern stereo is the only deviation from this status, but it is hidden nicely in the glovebox and only adds to the joy of driving this fine automobile.
If you are a serious buyer I would love to speak with you, because for the next few weeks this car is for sale. I am not a terribly motivated seller because of its color combination and condition, but I feel I must put this Lincoln out here for the world to see and for someone to possibly acquire or my collection becomes a hoarding of beautiful objects rather than a celebration of what a select group of American men and women of drive and character and vision were able to create, which is really what a car collection should be. So if the photographs I have included move you as much as owning this car has moved me, then hopefully I will hear from you, if only to voice your appreciation of this car or to tell me your own Mark story, because I love to hear of the existence of other Lincolns that are truly treasured by their owners.
If you make an offer that I am seriously considering I will contact you via email before accepting it just to confirm that you are a real person and that you do understand the payment terms detailed in my listing. I find everything works much more smoothly if we touch base on these items.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards
Tue, 17 Jun 2014In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
Did Neil Young just spill the beans on a 2016 Lincoln Continental? [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Neil Young may be better known as a singer-songwriter and rock n' roll icon than he is for his involvement with cars, but the Canadian-born musician is not without his automotive credentials. His latest book, after all, is titled "Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars," and one of his most famous songs, "Long May You Run," was written about his old station wagon. But does that mean he's got an inside line on new cars coming out? In an appearance on CNBC's Mad Money with Matt Cramer this week, the Y in CSNY was plugging Pono, a portable music player and service he developed. During the segment, which you can watch in the video clip below, Young mentioned that his company was working on a new in-car audio integration with Harman, which as we know just signed a deal with Lincoln. Here's where it gets interesting: The Godfather of Grunge mentioned that Pono and Harman were preparing to put the system in the 2016 Lincoln Continental. The thing is, Lincoln hasn't made a Continental for a dozen years now. Does Neil know something we don't, or did he simply misspeak? He is, after all, working on an electric-converted '59 Continental he calls the LincVolt, so it wouldn't be hard to imagine he got mixed up. But maybe, just maybe, it was the first bit of leaked info that Ford's luxury division is planning on shifting away from its MK-based naming scheme and reviving at least one iconic nameplate.

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.
