Here is a rare find! This is a 1997 Lincoln Continental that is a garaged
one owner Florida car with only 48k original miles and clean as can be inside and out! These Continental's have been
favorites for years but are getting VERY hard to find in nice shape and with low miles. This one is as nice as you
could hope for in any 1997 car and it was owned by an older wealthy couple who live in the prestigious community of
Bonita Bay here in south Florida. It was bought new right here at our local Lincoln dealership and traded in by the
original owners at our local Volvo dealership in this shape! It has been garaged it's whole life and has a clean
Autocheck report showing no accidents or problems and it received a score of 55 points out of an average rating of
between 15-36 points so you know it has a great history as well. And being a true Florida car there is NO rust and
even the underside still looks near new, even the original factory exhaust with dual chrome tips are still there and
it great shape! The exterior looks wonderful with a deep Lincoln shine with no fade, dents, scrapes or rust. The
factory aluminum wheels shine like new with no corrosion and there are near new matching Michelin tires that help
give this Lincoln that smooth and quiet ride people have come to expect from these cars. Look close at the pictures
and I promise you it looks every bit this nice in person. The interior too in in great shape with no stains, rips or
odors and this is a non-smoker's car so it is still very fresh inside. The leather seats are very soft and show
little wear, the back seat looks new! All the power options work fine including the ice cold air conditioning and 6-
cd stereo with cassette that sounds wonderful. All the trim looks nice and everything has a garaged look and feel and
there are no service lights on. What a pleasure to drive, so smooth and quiet and the nice Michelin tires really
help. The peppy 32v V-8 engine runs smooth as silk and should with only 48k miles and will deliver decent gas mileage
as well. The brakes are smooth as is the transmission and suspension with no shakes or rattles, just as you would
expect from a well cared for 1-owner Florida car. It's not brand new of course but it's the nicest one I have seen in
years and I am sure you will love it. It feels like your driving a classic already! I have great feedback so
you can be sure that this vehicle will be just as nice as I am stating. Should you need help with shipping call me,
if you decide to fly into Ft.Myers to pick it up in person I will meet you at our local airport right here in town. I
know buying a vehicle you haven't driven is a little scary so I try to make it easy as well as fun!! As with all
my vehicles, this one was put through a safety check to be sure it is safe and road worthy. This includes an oil
change and an inspection of the brakes, belts, hoses, tires, fluid levels, etc. It's just one more thing I can do to
make this a good experience for you. I encourge you to call with any questions @ 239-872-5281. Thanks!

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.

Ford Motor Company applied this month to get the rights to the trademark for the word Zephyr. We think the MKZ might be rebadge as the Lincoln Zephyr.
