1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V Diamond Jubilee Edition on 2040-cars
Culpeper, Virginia, United States
|
I hate to have to sell this one. I bought it from the original owner a few years ago; it is a 2-owner car. It is one of only 5159 that were made - the top-of-the-line Diamond Jubilee Edition - produced for Ford's 75th anniversary celebration. It has just over 120K miles on the odometer. It runs, drives, and handles like new. The A/C unit has been converted to R134A and blows ice cold. The original leather-bound Diamond Jubilee toolkit and owner's manual are included. car has every option, and it all still works, with only two exceptions; the passenger's side 'smoker' window (small window in front corner) needs the motor replaced, and the in-dash Cartier analog clock is not running (it may just have a loose connection.)
I have included photos of the minor cosmetic flaws. The vinyl top is cracked just a small amount around the lower edges, but otherwise free of tears or holes. The paint is chipped a bit around the front headlight covers, a small amount on the driver's fender, and bubbled just a bit above the driver's door. The leather cover on the front seat center console has visible wear. |

Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
