Up for sale is a 1971 Continental Mark III Custom Parade & Touring Car. This is one of three Mark III's that I know of that have the Chopped Top Convertible look, as Lincoln did not make Mark III convertibles stock. The boot cover is reinforced which makes it perfect for people to sit on for parades. The door handles, key holes, and emblems have all been shaved for a clean, sleek look. The exterior is a beautiful Miliano Red custom paint job and the interior color is tan. The interior is original with the exception of the front seats which were redone in original design and a new carpet kit. The trunk is fully carpeted in black. This Mark III is equipped with the power house 460 CID V8 365 HP engine and the transmission is the C6 Automatic Cruise-O-Matic. Both the engine and transmission were rebuilt a few years ago with only about a thousand miles or so on them since. The car came equipped with AC and all of the components are still there, but may need to be recharged as it hasn't been in use since the customization was done (did work). A few additional options that come on this car are AM/FM 8 Track Tape Player, "Sure Track" braking system, and front disk brakes. This car turns heads wherever it goes and is a blast to drive on sunny days. It attracts attention at car shows, while cruising, and, of course, parades! Spring & Summer are just around the corner! Get ready to Cruise!!! Please send me an email with any questions you might have regarding the vehicle and I will respond as soon as possible. Thanks for looking!

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
