Offered here in a NO RESERVE auction is a 1979 Bill Blass edition Lincoln Mark V. I have owned this beautiful automobile for over 10 years. During that time the car has been dependable and well cared for. The 400cu. V8 engine runs strong. Transmission shifts smoothly. Body work is pretty much done. Many new parts, including new gas tank, fuel lines, and float last year. Car body is straight. Body side moldings are in remarkable condition. These are usually dinged to death on most cars from this era. Not so here. Beautiful chrome overall. One exception is the passenger side mirror. Chrome on that mirror is fair at best. Car has upgraded Collector Series Ebony wood interior. RARE WORKING AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO. Power windows, antenna, and trunk release work. AC blows COLD. Leather interior is in great shape for its age. Coveted driver side thermometer mirror works! Is illuminated at night. Last year I moved to a lakefront home so this year I am selling my land yacht so I can buy a real boat.
Features that don't work. Power door locks. I replaced the actuators a few years back so its probably the switches on the door panel. Power seats have limited adjustment. Speed control worked until I replaced the steering wheel with one from a Collector Series car. So again, its probably just the switch in the steering wheel pad. This is a used, 35 year old automobile, and as such does not have a warranty. There are typical age related imperfections inside and out. There is a small tear in the headliner above the driver side sun visor. The fiberglass fascia beneath the driver side headlamp cover is cracked. This damage was done by the mechanic shop that rebuilt the carburator some years back. I have a complete new fascia in white that will come with the car if you want it. Pictures of these imperfections have been provided for you to review. I also have the rocker panel moldings that were removed when the body work was done. They are in fair shape and will be included.
The canvas top has been replaced and looks beautiful. But car must now be hand-washed. Do not run it through a high pressure car wash. While the car is weathertight and will not leak even in a torrential rain, a commercial high pressure wash will cause water to penetrate the door windows at their top edges. I have tried to cover all possible questions about the car. If you have a question please contact me. I have a clear NC title on hand.

In that instance the car will remain on ebay and the highest bidder will take this baby home. Thank you for taking the time to review my listing. Good luck bidding!

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
