This beautiful Lincoln is being sold to settle the estate of Ms. Shirley Musick. She purchased the car from Bailey Lincoln in Ft. Worth in Oct. of '84 preowned. Ever since, the car has been parked on the left side of the garage of her home in the Lytle Shores neighborhood (around a private lake in Abilene, Tx.). We lost Miss Shirley in Feb., the house has been sold, and now the Lincoln.
I removed the car from her garage Friday. Drove around the loop, had it washed (not detailed), and what a wonderful car this is !! I had one new, and had forgot just how comfortable and quite these Lincoln's are. This is a very nice, original car.
First off, this Mark has always been in service. Never stored, or neglected. Showing 87,000 miles. Not bad for 31 years! If you remember the metallic paints from this era, they did not hold up well, especially in the extremely hot, West Texas climate. The paint really is nice, very shiny, and all without having been detailed. There are very few, minor blemishes you would expect on a car of this age. Nothing that distracts from just how nice it is. NO RUST! EVER! ANYWHERE! Abilene is hot, and very dry! Our cars do not rust.
I only drove the car about 25 miles, and everything seems to be in working order. The only issues I noticed, the power antenna does not work. Everything else seems fine. The digital dash is perfect. Seats, windows -- all good. The leather on the seats is in amazing condition. They are still extremely soft, and really comfortable. The vinyl top is soft, no cracking. Tires look good and so does the spare.
Took some pictures of the car on a lift, you can see that the undercarriage is in great condition. Again, NO RUST!
A car dealer friend told me that it's hard to find any nice car to drive for this price, especially a collector type that looks this good. Wish I had the room........

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
