I am a small private Collector and a perfectionist! I purchased this vehicle late Dec and Received it Mid January. The car was sold New in W. Virginia, garage kept and covered! The original owner passed away approximate 2.5 yrs ago and his Senior Son brought the Car to his home in Colorado. He told me his father was very fussy and had the oil changed every 2000-2500 miles. Which was very evident when I removed the valve covers to refinish them. There was NO Sludge or Varnish on the engine head or inside of the valve covers (Pictures are attached). I removed the radiator and sent it out to be flushed and pressure checked. I completely refinished the engine compartment, removed all hoses and incorrect clamps. I replaced every hose with period correct Hoses and clamps, I actually was able to find Autolite Radiator hoses with the double wire clamps I installed all New Autolite Ignition wires, spark plugs and Autolite engine Decals. I found a Autolite Battery Topper and had Red Autolite Vinyl letters made for the battery. I re sprayed under the hood and covered the engine blankets with fire retardant felt. The top of the Grill Shell had some fading, the top section of the 4 piece bumper and bumper ends was spotted with patina and some surface rust. I sent the Grill Shell and 4 piece bumper to a Top Quality Chrome shop and had it refinished (took 9 weeks). The Car sat from 2007 till I purchased it. Mechanically I had to have a complete new brake system Installed including Master cylinder. The fuel pump was leaking, the starter was noisy so both were replaced. The power Steering pump started to leak and the Steering box was squealing so both of them were replaced. The car runs very smooth and starts with a flick of the key!! The Original NEW Spare Tire is in the trunk, the Michelin Tires on the ground measure 10/32nds and are recent. The exhaust pipes have some surface rust and are very sound, the mufflers are recent. The resonators are older but appear sound! The Interior of the car Shows NO Wear, there are No crakes or scratch's in the leather. To the best of my knowledge the paint is original with exception of the header panel around the head light doors and some paint work has been done to the left front fender to repair a scratch. There are 2 pencil point door dings on the right side of the car, one being towards the bottom of the right door and one over the rear wheel opening! I bought the car as a 139,000 miles, there is nothing which indicates that it has this kind of mileage!!!, That's what Sate Motor Vehicles put on the title. I have full documentation original titles window sticker and buyers Purchase. order I am a Senior and am having some health Issues and taking care of 4 cars is just to much for me now. Ask any questions and I will answer! All Sales are final!! I have described this vehicle in detail and have tried to cover all details. I am not responsible for any errors or omissions! The car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this listing at my discretion!

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
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.
