1978 Lincoln
Mark V St. Tropez This
automobile is truly a remarkable vehicle.
It is a custom convertible, with coach work by American Custom
Coachworks of Beverly Hills, California.
It is not known how rare this vehicle is, but we have seen claims that
no more than ten like this were made by ACC in 1978. It is a ‘certified custom’ by the Lincoln and
Continental Owners Association, which means it was ordered by a Lincoln dealer
from the Ford Motor Company to be sold at the dealership. The car was ordered sold new by the Bob Sight
Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Kansas City.
It is believed to have sold for approximately $40,000 when new. The car has
had one repaint, by Ortloff Brothers Restorations of Helena, Montana. It was repainted exactly as it came from ACC
in 1978, including the hand-painted pin-striping to match the unique original
pin-striping. Documentation of all of
this will go with the car. The repaint
was done in 1993, and still looks very good, with only a few very minor
blemishes during the past 20 years. It
is dark champagne and gold metallic two-tone, and is a striking look. The car is rust free. The car has
all power equipment, and cold air conditioning.
It has near new tires, and polished alloy wheels. The interior is a tan leather, and is
original, although it has been professionally re-dyed. The carpet is original and is still new
looking, and has the original Lincoln floor mats. The original boot to be used when the top is
down is very presentable. The top looks
new, and was replaced by the previous owner.
The car was featured on the back cover of the
Lincoln and Continental Owners magazine in 2005,and on an interior page in
2009. It has been shown in car shows,
and has won a number of trophies. The
car currently has 78,000 miles since new, and runs and drives beautifully. The current
owners are elderly and are downsizing their collection. If you are looking for a car that will
continue to draw attention, and grow in value over the years, this car is well
worth a look. Call the owners at
409-771-0333 or 409-771-3037 for more information. Inspections are invited. The car is in Texas. It is being advertised in national magazines,
so is subject to prior sale. |

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Possible MKX concept teased as Lincoln confirms China expansion
Thu, 17 Apr 2014We've been speculating for years about the future of Lincoln. Some thought that Ford needed to kill the division like it did Mercury, while others saw the sales possibility in a brand with so much history. Ford has finally made a decision, and it wasn't what many people were expecting. Lincoln is launching in China this fall, with the brand rollout starting at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show. A new video hints that we might even get to see the concept for the next-generation MKX.
Lincoln is marketing itself in China as a customer-focused, high-end luxury ownership experience. To prove it, the Lincoln Space in Beijing is meant both as a prototype dealer and a grand show of its plans. The modernist structure looks more like an art museum than a car showroom, and the interior decor is like a high-end hotel lobby. The company says that every dealer is going to have license plate recognition technology that knows when an owner arrives, and there will also be a Personalization Studio where potential buyers can design their car with family. Lincoln is promising to have eight showrooms ready in seven cities by this fall.
Of course, a stylish showroom is nothing without cars to sell. Lincoln is promising five models on sale in China by 2016. The MKZ and MKC launch this fall. A midsize luxury SUV, a fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator are coming later. All of the models sold there are being imported from North America.
