This is a restored car from a Lincoln enthusiast who lived in Texas. I bought the car back in December 2010 and shipped to California. In May of 2013 had to move to Maine for family reasons, so the car was shipped again to Maine. I had high hopes of using the car a lot during the summer, but the summer was very short and very wet. And of corse the winters in Maine are extremely long about seven months, i still started the car once a week and let run for 10-15 minutes, that is why i'am selling the car. The car needs to be driven and enjoyed. About the car, the car has a blue exterior, the interior is also blue and the top is white. The tires are white wall Coker Classics. The paint on the car really shines like glass, and the paint chip are hard to see. The door jambs and door sills are original paint. At first i thought that was just being lazy by restorer. So i talked to him and he said he wanted to show how good the car is with no rust on bottom of doors and sills. If you know these cars this is a common spots for rust, that be said this car seems to be rust free, Just don't hold me to it there might be a spot some where on the car,  the car is 50+ years old. All of the chrome and stainless is in excellent shape. The bumpers where re chromed and shine almost like a mirror. The engine and transmission where rebuilt when restored, and runs perfect with lots of power, transmission shifts flawless. The top goes up and down like it should, looks like hoses were replaced, and maybe some of the hydraulics rams and pump were replaced to, just not sure all look newer or very clean. The interior seats are a blue vinyl, and so are the armrests no rips or scuffs, looks newer not original. Carpet is correct loop pile also looks newer not original. All the glass is in great shape no cracks or fogging. The top is also newer with no rips or scuffs, the plastic window for top is clear but has some small scuffs due to putting the top down, it scrapes on metal frame. I use a piece of foam tubing to protect from more damage when top is in trunk. The trunk lining looks all newer and redone. The dash has no cracks and looks original, but not sure. All the gauges are working and look great. I also have a set of original front seat belts i found on Ebay when i was looking for new antenna found these instead. Like i said before antenna can be fixed.  I described the car to the best of my knowledge, I'am not a mechanic or mechanically inclined. If you are most things can be fixed easily or installed like seat belts. I do recommend that you take a look at the car if you can. If you don't live in area a flight is not that bad even from Los Angeles, especially if your going to spend this kind of money on a classic car.  If you have any questions or need more pictures just email me, if you want to talk leave phone number. 

I also would like to say that my reserve is $10,000.00 or more "LESS" than some current and previous listing in recent months, of same year or similar years consisting of 1961-1967.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label Drivers' Notes Review | American luxury

Thu, Dec 6 2018

For years, the Lincoln Navigator played second fiddle to the Cadillac Escalade. Even with a refresh a few years back, the big ute couldn't quite match what Cadillac (or anyone else in the class) offered. The design looked dated, and the interior felt a full generation behind. Things sure have changed, as the new Navigator might just be the first Lincoln in years that gets near-universal praise from the Autoblog staff. This class of SUV may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Lincoln deserves credit for doing more than just phoning it in. Our tester this week is a Chroma Crystal Blue short-wheelbase Navigator Black Label. That's the top-trim model, so features like heated and ventilated leather seating, full-LED lighting, a panoramic moonroof, a 20-speaker audio system and adaptive suspension are all standard. The only options on our 2018 model were the $1,750 paint and the $1,250 perfect-position seats. At $98,320, it isn't cheap, but it's right on the mark for the segment. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: The Lincoln Navigator is a demonstrative improvement in luxury, power and design. It's more sophisticated and elegant than ever before, but it remains true to itself. The interior is gorgeous — the best-looking cabin I've ever seen in a Navigator — and it's the best in the segment. The Cadillac Escalade, which is still great but is due for a freshening, feels dated and less user-friendly inside, by comparison. Our Navigator, outfitted in the Black Label trim, looks like something out of a 1960s Camelot photo spread. The powder blue materials remind me of old pictures of Jackie Kennedy. The way the Lincoln crest appears above the glovebox also feels very Jet Age. The knobs, switches and buttons for the controls add to the retro look, but they're also tactile and functional. People don't want to navigate four touchscreens to adjust the heat. Lincoln and other carmakers are wisely going back to simplicity for interior features. That being said, the interior has all the modern features and amenities you would expect. Sync 3 is solid. The large touchscreen is easy to read and use. It's colorful and intuitive. Finally, it's a Sync system I can get on board with. The seats are comfortable, supportive, and the front ones can be positioned 30 different ways. There's so much variety I never found the perfect spot in my two nights in the Navigator. The exterior touches from the most recent redesign accentuate the Navigator's luxurious feel.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
