If you want to be anonymous you'll need to keep this one in the garage. People pull over beside the road when I approach in this look-alike to President John F. Kennedy's Assassination Limousine. Equipped with double-sided embroidered Flag of the President of the United States and United States Flag with fringe. On the front you'll find red blinking lights for your use in parades if you wish as well as actual and original Presidential Seals on the back doors on each side. Inside is a richly embroidered with gold Presidential Seal on the back seat. It has a public address system which has been disconnected as well as a DVD player which has been disconnected both of which were pulling the battery down when the car sat for long periods of time. This car runs with more get-up and go than a new car. It probably needs a tune-up as it's slow to start after sitting for weeks of non-use. It's been used mainly for parades. It's so neat to drive this car--everyone thinks it's the real assassination car not realizing that it's not a stretch limo like the 1963 Assassination version now in the Henry Ford Museum and turned into a hard top by LBJ. I'm not kidding that people go nuts when they see this car so don't be surprised. The previous owner used it to drive to play golf only. I'm the third owner. Originally from Michigan and then Ohio and now in Texas the past 10 years and always garaged. Retractable top was working perfectly until I let it sit over the winter closed last year and had to open manually this past summer. It probably needs fluid only which was the problem in the past. No rust but a couple of minimal age spots on trunk lid which don't go through paint. Has an oil leak which I had inspected and is a slow leak on a bent oil pan. Original interior has cracks to leather as shown in photos but feels smooth to touch and I didn't want to replace original. Air conditioning was working but leaks fluid so needs repair and who needs it with convertible! Has a leather cover for it. Buyer is responsible for pick-up in Longview, Texas only 60 miles from Shreveport, Louisiana and 125 miles from Dallas, Texas. Or you must provide for arrangement of shipment. Sold as-is and where-is. Available for complete inspection before purchase. Just so you will know, Reserve is $39,000.

2017 Lincoln MKZ is a 400-hp hot rod

Wed, Nov 18 2015

There are mid-cycle product updates, and then there's the 2017 MKZ. Instead of just a nip-and-tuck styling refresh, the entry-level Lincoln gets an all-new engine with a whopping 400 horsepower and an optional torque-vectoring rear differential. And that powerplant is exclusive to the Lincoln, at least for the time being. It's a sign that Ford is getting serious about elevating its luxury brand above the recent history of rebadged Blue Oval models. The engine is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, based on the current 2.7-liter that serves across the Ford and Lincoln lineup. With 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, it's the most powerful Lincoln ever. That big number will only be available in all-wheel-drive versions of the MKZ. With front-wheel drive the engine will be detuned to an estimated 350 horsepower to retain some level of driving refinement. A further option on the AWD model will be the Driver's Pack, which adds the same torque-vectoring rear differential as on the forthcoming Focus RS. With the promise of rear-wheel-drive handling characteristics, the MKZ could be the most fun-to-drive Lincoln ever. In addition to the V6, a 245-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo four and a hybrid model will be available. When the 2017 model goes on sale next spring it will be the first Lincoln in showrooms with the new signature grille, first previewed in the Continental Concept at this year's New York Auto Show. Adaptive LED headlights are available options, and a Lincoln logo "welcome mat" projects down from the side mirrors when unlocking the car at night. The view from behind is nearly unchanged, with a revised bumper giving the car a slightly wider appearance. Inside things are all new as well, with a completely revised center console. The capacitive-touch sliding controls are gone, replaced by buttons and knobs. In the press release, Lincoln mentions that engineers gave special attention to the sounds and feel of the switches, but the switches on the pre-production model at our product briefing felt cheap and loose. The large climate control knob clicked like it was grinding sand. We hope the production version will show more refinement. The good news, if you're rooting for Lincoln, is that the rest of the interior is impressive, at least in the top-of-the-line Black Label trim we saw. The front seats are comfortable, and the center console is trimmed in real aluminum.

Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.
