This is an all original true 1983 Lincoln Mark VI Emilio Pucci Edition Coupe. This is the rarest of all the designer versions of the Mark VI. The Pucci Edition coupe was only made for part of the year in 1983. This was also the last year of the Mark VI as well. This Mark VI Pucci is as original as you can find. This specific model of Mark VI is very rare and very hard to find. I will try to describe this car with as much detail as I know. The car has NO rust at all on the body. The bottom of the car is rot free and rust free. There is no rust/rot on the car anywhere top to bottom. The person I bought it from brought the car in the southwest back in mid 2000's. The owners he bought it off said it was a Arizona car its whole life. I have no official proof of this but do to the lack of rust I would agree that it was a southwest car. Since the mid 2000's it has been always kept inside and has never seen snow. The car is the proper and Original Emilio Pucci colors of Dark Blue Cambria soft top and Blue Flannel Mist paint with a light blue velour interior. The soft top is in great shape not dried out or cracked or faded at all. The paint on the car is faded by the sun. I did polish one spot and the shine does come back but in a few spots the paint has pealed so repainting or touch up will be needed for it to be perfect. The paint faded very uniformly and not almost looks like a Matte blue finish it doesn't have that ugly clear coat pealing that most sun faded cars have. All the chrome and bright work is great and very shinny. It has the original Lincoln wheels with matching spare. The driver side taillight is cracked but i have a whole oem light cluster I will include with it. I just haven't had time to swap the taillight. There is a few small dents here and there but all very small and are far less then most 30 year old cars. The interior is very nice and all original and clean not rips or tears or stains. The Velour seats are pillow top style and super soft and in great shape. The power seats, windows, lights, instrument cluster, locks, wipers heat, blower and even cruise control work well. The lights are the optional auto dimming and light sensing type and still work. The radio is the original factory upgraded unit with the surround sound that was optional in 1983. The volume control is a bit flakey at times so i have another original radio same style I will include. But current radio does work I just am trying to list every detail I know of. This Mark VI has the optional digital dash and multi-function trip computer. All the buttons and modes for the digital dash work as the should as well. The headliner is clear and not sagging at all. Carpet is still good and is the original designer style carpet I still have original mats as well. The dash has cracks from the sun but it has a dash cover on it. All the faux wood in the car is perfect. There is NO rust in the door jams or any other spot. The car also has the optional key-less code entry system that still works. The car drives and runs great starts every time and runs smooth. Brakes work well and it drives smooth like a cloud. It is very low mileage with only 78,826 miles. The engine is the fuel injected 5.0 and sounds great and is smooth even when it is cold. The Mark VI still has its original vin/build plate under the hood that shows its specific Pucci build number. This is the rarest Lincoln Mark VI out there and is a great car. I was hoping to keep it but i have so many other toys/projects right now I could drive and enjoy this car like it deserves. I tried to describe it to the best of my abilities please ask any questions you may have.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
