What we have for sale is a 1972 Lincoln town car that is in fairly good shape. The body does have some minor rust at the front fender edges and the right quarter. Again on the edge. The body on this car appears to be very straight, no major dings and no sign of bodywork. Vehicle has a new carburetor and a fairly new exhaust, both installed prior to my ownership. I purchased the car needing a fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump and vehicle fired right up although it needs a tuneup because there is an intermittent miss and a little lugging until warm. Transmission appears to shift fine, goes forward and back. Interior is in pretty good shape with the exception of the top of rear seat is dry rotted and would require replacement is restored. Dash has sun crack damage. I believe it is only one crack. The biggest issue I see with this car is the back glass leaks. Photos show bubbling around the back glass as it is a rust issue that has been repaired probably more than once. Frame is good with no rust and floors show no sign of rust. The body of this car again, is in fairly good shape. Factory ridge moldings that go from bumper to bumper all appear to be in good shape. The left fender mldg does have a dent in it. There may possibly be a ding or a scratch somewhere however overall good shape. The vehicle was refinished at some point. It appears to be acrylic enamel and has no gloss. I buffed a spot on the left rear and it did return some gloss but I don't believe it would last. Vehicle does appear to have some electrical issues as some of the windows work some of the time. Some do not work at all. I do not hear relay clicking so it may be a simple fix however I have not investigated. Power seat does not move. Again it may be a big or a small issue. I have not taken the time to look. Driver's trim panel is broken and in poor condition. Super glue works wonders. It would have to fix the panel. Anyone seriously interested in the vehicle feel free to contact me and I will perform some tests to try to determine if it is the motor, fuse, relay or simply lubrication for the windows and seat. I am in the middle of another car and have just not had the time to check some of these things. Additional photos are available. Auction is subject to end as vehicle is listed locally. Happy Motoring.

Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."

2017 Lincoln Continental: Was this mic-drop moment just a big flop?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The Lincoln Continental may have been our fifth-place pick for Best In Show at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but it's probably the one we argued about the most. In fact, we're still talking about it. And we'll no doubt be discussing it long after we finally get to drive the new sedan later this year. We do this with lots of cars, all the time. The Continental is an especially important, high-profile car right now. It has the task of being a torch-holder for the struggling-to-run Lincoln brand, and that's a tough job these days. But did Lincoln do right by its Continental name? Did its Detroit showcar stop us in our tracks, or were we left feeling cold? In an effort to show you our full discussion, we're trying something different. About a week after the Detroit Auto Show press days concluded, Autoblog's Jonathon Ramsey sent an email around to some editors about the Continental to open a discussion. It got heated, and fast. And while we considered summarizing it, we decided to instead post the whole, largely unedited (adjusted for typos and swear words) chain. From: Jonathon Ramsey To: Autoblog Team Does anyone else think it's a problem that the new Continental looks 85 percent like the MKZ? And another 10 percent of it looks like a Jaguar and a Bentley? Because I think Lincoln screwed the pooch. The German Three plus Porsche can make cars that look alike – they've earned the right, even if I'd rather they didn't. The MKZ looks like a car for regional sales reps. Lincoln broke the glass in case of emergency, grabbed the Continental name, then put it on a car that looks a lot like that sales-rep car, but one for regional VPs. Do we really think this can work? Because I don't. From: Steven Ewing To: Autoblog Team Personally, I'm pretty disappointed in the final execution of Continental. I'm glad Lincoln isn't obsessed with chasing the Germans, but at this point, it's not even chasing Cadillac. I think that introducing the new front end and TTV6 engine on the MKZ before the Continental was a huge mistake. And while I have high hopes for the Conti from a comfort/driving standpoint, my gut instinct is that it's going to be more "better than the MKS" than "best American luxury sedan." Introducing the new front end and TTV6 engine on the MKZ before the Continental was a huge mistake.
