Rare 1979 Lincoln Mark V Designer Series Givenchy Edition With NO RESERVE 400 V8, 68k original miles. Rare Givenchy Designer Series with Crystal Blue Moondust Metallic paint and front-half Valino Grain Vinyl Roof in Dark Crystal Blue. This was the most expensive designer model available in 1979, done in a special blue exterior color that was offered one year. Another unique feature is the reversed vinyl roof treatment. There were only approximately 2200 produced in 1979. Options include quarter windows that lower and raise before main window, working "Quadrasonic" 8-track with digital display, memory settings, and auto scan ($380 option), digital "miles to empty" readout, working thermometer on driver's side view mirror, tilt steering wheel, remote trunk release and automatic dimming headlights. Here's a page describing the features of the 79 Givenchy Edition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Continental_Mark_V#Givenchy_3 Mechanical: recent full exhaust system from the engine back including resonator (Lincoln is nice and quiet) new disc brake pads all around as well as front rotors, new alternator, new front end parts including ball joints, bushings and shocks as well as a set of new Michelin tires. The a/c works but could use a freon charge, the cruise control works, the windows (small power vent and main) work perfectly, the passenger seat needs a new switch or motor, it does not move. The headlight doors work properly but do start to open after the car has been sitting for a few days. Cosmetics: the interior is very nice, the leather overall is in excellent condition, even the driver's seat does not show wear. The door panels, dash display, headliner and visors are in very good condition, the dash has one sun crack in the center. The vinyl top has a nice grain pattern, it's close to perfect, looks like new. The paint is original but still shines up well as seen in the pix. The underside is perfectly clean, does not even show surface rust. All floors and trunk solid under the carpet, the Lincoln has never been hit or had any kind of body repair and the chrome shines nicely. She's never been out in the winter, I just took her out to get some extra shots for the auction. The Lincoln has always been a "Garage Queen". Engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks, the garage floor is always dry when I pull her out. She cruises nicely on the highway, 400 V8 moves this big girl up the highway with ease. She idles perfectly, shifts smoothly, brakes evenly and the suspension is luxurious. Drives overall like an American luxury cruiser should and handles well considering its size. All the directional/brake/turn signal/headlights work properly, as well as the wipers and horn. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Mark V is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a good door to door auto shipper if you need one. Rare classic Lincoln which is as much a pleasure to drive as she is to look at. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
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.
Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
