Thanks for viewing this very rare luxury group Mark IV. Its rarity stems from the fact that few Marks in 1976 were produced with the combination of the dark emerald exterior paint you see in the photos paired with a dark green leather interior trimmed in silver that signifies the luxury group package. Most jade luxury package cars with this option configuration featured a very light jade exterior with the dark green leather interior. They are certainly attractive cars in their own right, but the combination you see before you is superior in my opinion. My favorite time to drive is in the evening, just as the sun is going down, because often times the light of the setting sun will play off beautiful paintwork in unexpected ways and it is especially true with this deep green coloring and that long, generous hood. In fact, on one such evening I swear that the entirity of a gorgeous pink-red sunset was reflected in that tremendous expanse of metalwork underwhich hummed that big, smooth 460. Needless to say I drove due west much further than I had planned, until the sun had disappeared below the horizon and the spectacular, impromptu lightshow to which I'd been treated finally reached an end. The special thing about this Lincoln is that even though nature's beauty had darkened until morning, that treat was replaced by the soft green glow of the gauge cluster and the Cartier clock illuminating the interior and casting shadows on the dark leather all around, which was about the best substitute I can imagine.
This Mark is an extremely well cared-for example that shows a level of preservation that you will look long and hard to match, if you ever manage to do so. A good friend of mine in the collector car world who has followed Marks avidly for more than a decade called it the best he has ever seen. The interior is absolutely flawless -- the seats, the armrests, and steering wheel -- and the paint and brightwork are equally spectacular. It sits on correct Michelin X tires and appears in every other way to be the ideal of originality. A modern stereo is the only deviation from this status, but it is hidden nicely in the glovebox and only adds to the joy of driving this fine automobile.
If you are a serious buyer I would love to speak with you, because for the next few weeks this car is for sale. I am not a terribly motivated seller because of its color combination and condition, but I feel I must put this Lincoln out here for the world to see and for someone to possibly acquire or my collection becomes a hoarding of beautiful objects rather than a celebration of what a select group of American men and women of drive and character and vision were able to create, which is really what a car collection should be. So if the photographs I have included move you as much as owning this car has moved me, then hopefully I will hear from you, if only to voice your appreciation of this car or to tell me your own Mark story, because I love to hear of the existence of other Lincolns that are truly treasured by their owners.
If you make an offer that I am seriously considering I will contact you via email before accepting it just to confirm that you are a real person and that you do understand the payment terms detailed in my listing. I find everything works much more smoothly if we touch base on these items.

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We were admittedly bullish about the Lincoln MKC Concept when we introduced it to you yesterday, as we were taken aback by how cohesive the C-platform crossover is in the metal. As it turns out, so were you, dear reader. With hundreds of comments booked on our original Deep Dive story, the overwhelming temperature of the Autoblog Commenteriat is one of surprise and delight - quite an accomplishment for a marque that many had written off for dead. The reception here under the bright lights of the Detroit Auto Show appears to be no less positive, but we thought you might want a second, closer look afforded by these live photos.
Lincoln remains mum on production MKC drivetrain specifics (we're thinking it will start with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder out of its similarly sized Ford Escape relative, or maybe the midlevel 1.6-liter), but we shouldn't have to wait too long. The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept." That's good news, as the MKC is pivotal to Lincoln's effort to rebuild awareness and consideration on the back of its MKZ sedan, a model just now going on sale. In fact, with the small crossover segment exploding, the MKC could very well turn out to be more important to the brand than the MKZ.
After seeing these new photos, are you more or less enamored with Lincoln's new concept? Leave a comment after voting in our poll below.
Lincoln to adopt Mini-like personalization strategy?
Fri, 18 Jan 2013There's no single silver bullet that will cure all that ails the Lincoln brand, and Ford knows that just as surely as we do. Coming out with exciting new models like the well-received MKC crossover counts as several steps in the right direction, assuming of course that the production version is as appealing as the concept just shown at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, but more is needed. According to Jim Farley, executive vice president of Lincoln, one more trick may be "mass customization."
Put another way, Lincoln is considering ways to allow buyers to customize their new vehicles right off the showroom floor, similar to how things are done at Mini, and, to a lesser extent, Scion, where Farley previously served as corporate manager. Imagine, for instance, ordering a new MKC with a large Lincoln insignia embossed into the leather seatbacks, according to Automotive News.
While we're not so sure anybody is all that interested in paying extra for more Lincoln logos, it's a strategy that has proven rather fruitful at Mini. Only time will tell if Ford's erstwhile luxury division will once again be seen as something truly worth reaching for, and if customers are willing to pay a further premium for customization.
Lincoln takes to the Super Bowl with Twitter schizophrenia
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Lincoln has officially pulled off the wraps on its ad for this year's Super Bowl. As you may recall, the company invited people to send in their tweets to help craft the spot's story line with Jimmy Fallon in the director's chair. The company chose five tweets and ran with them, and the result is, well, about as focused as your average online comment thread. We do get plenty of shots of the all-new Lincoln MKZ, as well as at least one comment on the interior leather's suppleness.
Do we learn a single thing about the brand's new honey? Nope. But there's a turtle crossing, a band of bikers, a German farming student and herd of alpacas. Mostly, the ad just makes us tired. You can check out the full spot before it airs during the big game by watching it below. We'll be busy preparing for the alpacalypse.
