North East, Maryland, United States
|
******************************************* Hello, Up for auction is a 1985 Lincoln Towncar I bought this car in 2005 from the second owner, the car was originally from Mass. Up until two years ago I kept this in a garage, but it's been stored outside since then, and the weather has taken a toll on it. I have never driven this in the winter weather, but it has sat through it. With this being said, starting with what I know is wrong and/or needs fixed. Bad: Original paint, starting to fade. Passenger front door, clear coat came off in a spot. Vinyl Top good condition, except a couple of cracks starting and around back window it's starting to pull away from window. (It doesn't leak) Surface rust starting to show on rear quarters. Rust on inside trunk lid doesn't show on outside. Small/Slow oil leak under car. There may still be more things as you look over the car that I didn't find. This car is sold as is. No return.
Now the Good: Original miles as of 11/24/13 (75444.k) This car runs strong shifts smooth. 5.0 302ci. Auto. Power everything (works) Looks great for it's age. Over the last five years she has won 3 trophy's, at car shows. When I bought the car I ran it through Maryland inspection and fixed everything that needed to be fixed even though I'm running Historic tags on it now. In 2005 I put new brakes, shocks, tires, exhaust "H" pipe, Rotors, plus much more. When I bought the car it had 63k. miles on it, so everything that I had put on the car might seem like it was "years" ago, It's actually not that bad considering it's only about 12k. miles old. If you have any questions, please ask. If you want to see and/or test drive again email to set up a time. ****************************************** The Lincoln is for sale locally. There is a reserve on the auction, and I will consider any reasonable offers, just email me your offer. Thank you for visiting our auction. ************************************************************************************************************************************ When you are looking at the pictures some of them show the car with a chrome swan on the hood, and/or Bull horns, theses are just props that I used during car shows, and they DO NOT come with the sale of the car.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
Lincoln's second, more traditional, Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 02 Feb 2013For its second Super Bowl commercial, Lincoln Motor Company has stepped away from the Max Ernst-ian surrealism of the "Steer the Script" spot. No Germans, no turtles, no aliens nor alpacas this time, just a 30-second run through the ways in which Lincoln sees the 2013 MKZ as a rebirth of the brand and everything a luxury consumer would want.
The kind of traditional spot that could run any time of year, the only question we had after watching it was: "Wait - was that... Abraham Lincoln?" Along with the press release from Lincoln, you can view the spot below.
If you want a deeper look and criticism into Lincoln's "Steer The Script," ad, have a read of AOL Autos' column: Lincoln's Super Bowl Ad is a Flop, written by Pete Bigelow.
Farley says Lincoln learnings in China could influence brand in US
Tue, 14 May 2013Automotive News reports Lincoln is looking to Chinese luxury shoppers for customer service ideas. Those notions may eventually make their way back to the US in the form of new dealership training. Jim Farley, the executive vice president of global marketing for Ford, tells Automotive News, "In many ways, China will be a listening post for Lincoln in the United States. Soon China will be the largest luxury market in the world." Farley also said that in China, the Lincoln brand is currently where Lexus was when the Japanese brand first landed in the US.
Lincoln is slated to open its first Chinese dealerships in 2014. The brand is largely unknown in Asia, and Lincoln representatives have been visiting other luxury dealers in China for an idea of what buyers there expect. Lincoln has also studied non-automotive luxury shopping, paying special attention to high-end retail branding.
Of course, this whole song and dance feels awfully familiar. Lincoln has focused heavily on remaking the brand and recrafting its marketing here in the States, thus far without sufficient product to back the play. Lincoln is already late to the China game, and without the necessary products to lure buyers away from established bodies like Buick and Cadillac, Lincoln may be doomed to repeat its fate here in the US.
