This car is being sold as a private sale by my grandmother in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The car was owned by my late grandfather, and I remember growing up seeing that car in the garage each time I would visit.

I am working on getting all the details, but here is what she emailed me for the time being:

"I had a new compressor for the AC installed. I ran it once and it quit. They found a leak and thought all was well but it quit again. They kept it a couple of weeks. They put die in the system and again thought all was well. I ran it again and it quit. This time it was a fuse. I don't run it to do errands because of parking spaces and I parked at the mall for a rather long time and someone put a deep scratch on the rear fender - driver's side. I plan to have it detailed and I will ask if they can do something to fix that scratch. So far it has been running without any problems.  It is a 1979 Lincoln Town Car.  It has always been kept in the garage but after so many years it does need a new top and a paint job. The leather still looks great except there is a little wear on the driver's seat.  It has 4 new tires and the breaks have been worked on so all is well with them.  The stitching came loose on the inside top over windshield. I wanted to have it replaced but I was told it was a very big job with that type car so all he did was give me matching thread and I did my best to sew it back. I have had the same garage service the car since Grandpop became ill and I have the service tickets from about that time. I don't know what else to tell you but if you need more let me know.  I just thought about the odometer--It was replaced and I'm not sure about the exact milage. It must be near 100,000 miles but when Grandpop was sick I think a new head was installed. The engine is in very good condition and passes the emissions test that we have to pass to renew our licenses."

If you'd like to look at the car, please feel free to contact me so I can set up a meeting.

Thanks for looking, and we hope you have a great week!

Lincoln drops MKX base price to $38,995

Mon, Jun 22 2015

Lincoln is giving the 2016 MKX a major improvement in style and tech, and is introducing the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 as an option for the luxury crossover. While all of those changes are significant, the cost might be just as enticing to get customers checking out the new generation. The base price for 2016 falls to $38,995, after an $895 destination charge on all models, compared to $39,795 for the 2015. At this time, there are three trim levels listed on Lincoln's site, but a Black Label version is supposed to come along later to add a bit more opulence. Above the base Premiere trim, the Select model starts at $42,285, and adds features like LED running lights, folding and heated mirrors, leather seats, and a power hatch. Spending $46,050 brings buyers to the Reserve trim with upgrades including a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, navigation, adaptive headlights, and heated seats. There are a huge number of individual options available, including full LED headlights and a safety suite of tech. Opting for the 2.7-liter EcoBoost pushes the price of any trim up an extra $2,000, and checking the box for all-wheel drive brings with it an added $2,495. As ever, you can spec one out yourself on the official configurator here.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

In 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.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
