If you demand the best then I have something for your. From my Private Collection is a very rare find. This is a ONE of ONE in existence with these options 1978 Lincoln Continental Williamsburg Limited Edition! A Marti Report takes the options a vehicle has and compares them to all of the others to see how many of your particular vehicles are in existence. Often referred to as a one off car. The report is certified and it did cost about $250 to have this prepared. This is the only one in the world!! My Lincoln was judged at the Lincoln Continental Owners Club (LCOC) National show as a 95.86 point out of 100 show car and won first place. I was even lucky enough to get the judging sheets used to review the car and I will give them to the new owner. I have the factory window sticker showing that in 1978 this car was just about $14,000! Now for the history of this Lincoln. It was a Special Order Lincoln by Betty Arnovitz which included the Williamsburg Limited Edition package and even 4 wheel disk brakes. The second owner purchased the car from 83 year old Betty in 2009. The vehicle was purchased by MJC Classic Cars in Florida who only buys the best of the best Lincolns. My Uncle is a car collector from Pennsylvania that purchased this car from MJC Classic Cars for $11,500 in 2012. My Uncle traded the 1978 Lincoln in on a 1967 250SL Mercedes I had in 2013. He drove it up 300 miles from Pennsylvania to Victor, NY. Back to my Uncle. Upon delivery of the car my Uncle took the 78 Lincoln into a shop he uses and told them to freshen up everything on the car. His bill was just shy of $8,600 and replaced just about everything!! It's no wonder the car received 95.86 points in judging. He is very particular and spent many hours perfecting every detail in his power to make this car the best he could. You can see how I had to have it! The car is amazing in every way! The car floats! The air conditioning is freezing cold. You really feel like you are in 1978 when you are behind the wheel of this car. It smells just as new inside. The leather is factory fresh and spotless!! The paint is brilliant!! The Champaign Valino Coach vinyl top is soft! The motor is so clean and fresh!! Under the car is very clean! The pictures were taken June 17, 2014. The car is in my warehouse and will not move until the new buyer picks it up or has it shipped so it's in the exact same condition as the ad states. No moth ball smell, smoke, mold, must or filth stink. These carpets have never been wet to shampoo. The car should be in a museum. EVERYTHING operates properly! If I had to really get picky I would say that the rear drivers side window is not moving with the regulator that holds the glass as it should. The car has a rebuilt carburetor that may hesitate just a tad. The car is a limited use vehicle and is insured with Hagerty Antique and Classic insurance for a few hundred bucks a year with full coverage. At the end of the pictures it shows the Marti Report, Factory Window Sticker and the $8600 spent in April 2012 at 55,000 miles. No extra fees in my auction. Clean title in hand. This car is a steal!!

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.

2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick

Mon, Dec 16 2019

The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video:
