Up for auction is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier edition.

154,000 original miles. 460 engine, automatic transmission. The car has most factory options, but it does NOT have a moonroof or factory CB radio.

The car runs well. No smoke, ticks or knocks. It could stand a tune-up. The transmission works well. The brakes are adequate. The car just got an oil and filter change.

Mechanically, the car seems sound. After a tune-up, hoses & belts, and a better set of tires, I would not hesitate to drive this car across country.

Cosmetically, the car is presentable. It has been repainted the wrong color. There are a few areas of slight surface rust, and there are two small areas of surface rust just under the "C" pillar moulding on both sides. There is some very slight bubbling just starting on the lower driver's 1/4 panel behind the rear wheel. There does not seem to be any other rust issues. The floors are solid as is the trunk. There is one section on the trunk lid where paint has noticeably lightened, approx. 18" X 3 1/2".

The vinyl top has been removed and the roof has been painted with textured paint. There are no dents or body damage. There is one small upward ding in the hood, and the rear bumper filler has a crack.

Interior: The interior is in good condition. The carpet is good, no rips in the headliner, no cracks in the dash. There is one small tear on the back seat, and some light scratches in the leather in the middle of the back seat.

Functions: The clock does not work. The driver's power window does not work, it needs the plastic gear inside the window motor repaired or replaced. The passenger power door lock does not work.

The driver's power door lock is weak. It takes multiple pushes to lock it, but it unlocks with one push. Both power seats work, but the separate driver's lumbar lever does not seem to work.

The factory quadrasonic AM-FM radio works and the 8 track player still plays tapes. The rear window defrost does not seem to work.

The A/C does seem to work, but needs recharged. The cruise control sets the speed, but then it seems to increase speed on it's own. The illuminated entry works correctly. The power antenna works, but it needs help going all the way up or down all the way into the fender. The power trunk works correctly.

There is a leak in the vacuum head light system. When the car is started the head light doors close, but after the car is turned off the head light doors will open on their own after 30 minutes or so.

The tires have good tread, but they are old and have weather cracks. The spare tire is in very good condition.

I purchased this car a little over a year ago. I now have other projects that need my attention, so it is time to find this car a new home.

This car has the original window sticker, owner's manual and ownercard. The title is clear.

This car is in good "driver" condition. Please read the description and view the photos before bidding. If you have any additional questions, or would like more photos please email.

You may also call (503) 569-8045 8 am- 11 pm PST.

The car is located in Salem, OR approx. one mile from Interstate 5.

A $50 non-refundable paypal deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end. The balance paid in cash in person, or certified bank check.

Winning bidder has two weeks to pick up the car unless other arrangements are made.

Thanks for looking.

Company veterans promoted to set a course for the future of Ford

Wed, Apr 10 2019

Ford on Wednesday named two company veterans to lead its auto and mobility businesses as the No. 2 U.S. automaker shifts its focus to autonomous vehicles and realigns its automobile portfolio. Joe Hinrichs was named president of Ford's automotive unit, and Jim Farley will be president, new businesses, technology and strategy, effective May 1. Both will report to Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett. Hinrichs' goal will be a sustainable EBIT margin (earnings before interest and taxes) of at least 8 percent, Ford said. He'll have responsibility for all of Ford's global business units, and both the Ford and Lincoln brands. And he'll lead all of the automotive skills teams, from product development through customer experience. "Joe Hinrichs possesses the knowledge, experience and leadership to now take our Automotive business to world-class levels of product excellence, customer satisfaction, efficiency and financial performance," Hackett said. "As we enter a busy period for new product launches and further restructuring in underperforming markets, Joe's leadership in transforming businesses through focused execution will be key." Farley is charged with leading Ford's strategic transformation, in which it hopes to gain higher margins through smart/connected vehicles. He'll oversee corporate strategy, global data analytics, global partnerships, research and advanced engineering, including initiatives in smart mobility and autonomous vehicles. "Jim Farley's job is to drive us into the future, both strategically and operationally, from AVs to mobility experiences to leveraging AI and big data. Jim combines an innate feel for what customers want and need in vehicles and the ability to translate this into the vehicles and services of the future," Hackett said. Marcy Klevorn, president of Ford Mobility, plans to retire Oct. 1 after 36 years at Ford. Until then, she will report to Hackett in a strategic role. "I have asked Marcy to work with me and the senior team to accelerate our transformation," Hackett said. "Marcy's decades of experience working with many of the leading companies in the tech space as well as the work she has done with the transformation of Ford IT and the establishment of Ford Mobility gives her unique knowledge to drive these initiatives."

2020 Lincoln Corsair Review & Buying Guide | Old-school, value-priced luxury

Wed, May 1 2019

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair is a compelling alternative to the compact luxury crossover establishment. It’s distinctively stylish inside and out, very spacious, and it clearly focuses on comfort rather than performance. Not only that, it has a base price that's thousands of dollars cheaper than its German rivals. It has a couple of drawbacks. Its quest for comfort does sacrifice some of its handling capability, and its overseas rivals still have nicer cabin materials. But there are enough positives that youÂ’ll still want to give the Corsair a closer look. What's new for 2020? The Lincoln Corsair is a completely new model introduced this year. It replaces the Lincoln MKC, and like that crossover, the Corsair still shares its platform with the Ford Escape. 2020 Lincoln Corsair Beyond Blue interior View 9 Photos What's the Corsair's interior and in-car technology like? While the Corsair is based on the Ford Escape, you wouldnÂ’t be able to tell from the inside, and thatÂ’s a very good thing. The little Lincoln crossover has a unique interior, both in relation to the Escape and to the rest of its luxury segment. There's nothing remotely like it. The dashboard itself is low and wide, emphasized by the split-level design and the faux full-width air vent. The center stack has a cantilevered design that floats above the center console area and features chrome-plated switches and knobs. Base models get a stylish pinstriped aluminum trim panel on the dash paired with one of three upholstery color options including black, gray and beige. However, the Reserve steps things up considerably with differing wood and metal trim choices that correspond to the expanded leather color options that include a camel tan and dark turquoise (pictured above). All Corsairs get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system mounted high on the dash within easy sight and reach. It uses a reskinned version of the latest Ford SYNC interface. The layout is straightforward and easy to navigate, and the more muted color options on the Lincoln system are easier on the eyes than the stark white Ford version. ItÂ’s a little bit slow to load new menus, though, and this carries over to the optional 12.3-inch instrument cluster screen available on the Reserve trim. The Corsair comes standard with an analog instrument cluster with a 6.5-inch info screen. We appreciate that many stereo and climate controls have dedicated switches and knobs on the center stack, and they have a nice heft to their actions.

Sunday Drive: Big debuts from the Big Apple dominated the headlines

Sun, Apr 1 2018

New York Auto Show week has come and gone, and, not surprisingly, the week's biggest bits of news came from the halls of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC. Our favorite debut from New York was the Lincoln Aviator, a sharp-dresses crossover that looks lovely inside and out, and sits on underpinnings at least partly derived from the Ford Mustang. While the Aviator may have caught our attention, it wasn't the most popular vehicle debut from New York, at least when judging by the number of page views here on Autoblog. That distinction goes to the 2019 Toyota RAV4, and we're hardly surprised. The RAV4 is the most popular compact crossover in America (in fact it's the most popular vehicle that isn't a pickup truck), and the 2019 version looks like a radical departure from the model that came before. We can't wait to drive the thing. Midsize sedans may not be the darling of the family car set, that honor taken over by the aforementioned crossover, but they still sell in large enough numbers that a brand-new model catches our attention. Such is the case with the 2019 Nissan Altima. We broke down the specs of the Altima and compared Nissan's bread-and-butter sedan with its biggest rivals. And finally, we got some official figures for the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. It'll cost a cool $12,000 over the cost of a Mustang GT, and will benefit from a 480-horsepower, 420-pound-foot version of Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8 engine. As always, stay tuned this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 New York Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery | Start spreading the news 2019 Toyota RAV4 actually looks pretty cool 2019 Nissan Altima vs Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry: How they compare 2019 Mustang Bullitt orders open as Ford reveals price and horsepower Image Credit: Drew Angerer/Getty New York Auto Show Ford Lincoln Nissan Toyota Coupe Crossover SUV Sedan 2018 new york auto show
