1988 LINCOLN TOWN CAR LIMO
HERE IS A SOLID, NICE DRIVING OLDER LIMO. THIS CAR IS 25 YEARS OLD SO IT IS NOT PERFECT AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR ITS AGE. THE MOTOR RUNS VERY STRONG, TRANNY SHIFTS GREAT, AND IT GOES STRAIGHT AS A ARROW. PAINT IS IN FAIR CONDITION BUT CAR STILL SHOWS GOOD- CLEAR COAT NOT THE GREATEST- SOME FADING. TOP LOOKS LIKE IT WAS REDONE BEFORE I GOT AND STILL LOOKS GOOD. VERY LITTLE RUST AND SOLID INCLUDING UNDERNEATH. NEWER BATTERY. ITS GOOD ON GAS. WAS A P.A. CAR AND OWNED BY A COUNTRY CLUB.
SOME THINGS DON'T WORK: I WAS TOLD TOP SKYLIGHT WAS LEAKING SO PEOPLE BEFORE ME SEALED SO IT DOESN'T OPEN. AC DID WORK BUT HAS SLOW LEAK AND NEEDS RECHARGED. FUEL GUAGE STARTS WORKING AT ABOUT HALF FULL. PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW GOES UP SLOW OR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL UNLESS YOU HELP IT. EXHAUST JUST BARELY STARTING TO RUST THROUGH AND MAKE NOISE, BUT STILL REAL QUIET. THE TINTING IS BUBBLY AND NOT THE GREATEST JOB-WAS FINE FOR ME BUT JUST ADVISING. BODY IS REALLY STRAIGHT BUT A FEW SMALL DENTS AND PLACES WHERE CLEAR COAT PEELED. OVERALL THOUGH, IT STILL LOOKS PRETTY DARN GOOD. TIRES ARE ABOUT 50%
I USED THIS CAR AS A JUST A COOL SIDE CAR AND FOR A FEW PROMS- GETS LOTS OF LOOKS AND YOU'LL MAKE SOME MONEY OFF YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS AND STRANGERS LOOKING FOR A CHEAP LIMO. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. DRIVE IT AS IT IS, OR BENG SO SOLID AND LOW MILES YOU COULD RESTORE IT TO IT'S ORIGINAL GLORY PRETTY EASY. I WOULD TRUST THIS CAR TO DRIVE ANYWHERE.

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It'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.
