Here is the chance to own a near museum quality, barn find, rare Lincoln Town Car.  The car was originally purchased by an elderly couple who drove it for the first few years.  The car was then left to their son who did not like the car so he put the car in his neighbor's barn where it sat for many years.  It was started and run every few months but never left the barn.  The owner finally just asked his neighbor if he wanted it and so the neighbor bought the car.  This owner drove the car for a short time installed new brakes and then decided to put the car up for sale.  I purchased the car and drove it from central Illinois to my home in South Bend, In.  I had my mechanic go though the car and had the transmission seals changed, the wheel cylinders changed, a leaking power steering hose replaced; changed one of the converters and had a new exhaust system installed.  I also just installed brand new Firestone tires all the way around.  The pictures do not do the car justice.  I have now driven the car almost 2000 miles.  I take it on the highway everyday back and forth to work and it drives like a dream.  It is truly just like driving a new car back in 1988.  It is the signature series which is the middle trim series.  You will not be disappointed in any way.  Except for the work that has been done recently the car is all original.  The a/c which is still on the R-12 system is ice cold.  It comes equipped with power steering, brakes, windows, locks, seats, auto lamp and auto dimming; all which work as they are supposed too.  The car drives straight as an arrow and cruises effortlessly down the road.  The emergency brake even works as it is supposed too.  There is no rust on the car and the cloth top looks just like it was installed yesterday.  Check out the picture of the top up close, the seams are tight with no fading or tearing.  The only thing that does not work as it should is the thermometer in the drivers mirror.  It registers about 20 to 30 degrees higher than it should.  The clock keeps perfect time. 
The only mechanical issue with the car is a tiny, tiny, exhaust leak on the passenger side.  It is either coming from the manifold itself or the riser pipe.  You can only hear it if there is dead silence in the car.  You have to listen for it.  You cannot hear it if the windows are open or the air or radio is on.  I thought about getting it fixed but I simply do not think it is bad enough to start tearing into engine. 
The only cosmetic issue with the car is a small tear about a half inch long.  It is not noticeable unless you look for it.  I actually did not find it until I got the car home and had it for a few weeks.  There are no dings or dents in the body and there is only one very light scratch about 2 inches long on the left rear quarter panel.  There is some pitting around the headlights but this is from being driven at highway speeds, every one has them.  The paint is glossy and deep.  Many of these cars have paint issues on the right side of the hood where the clear coat wears off.  This one is near flawless. 
I bought this car with every intention of keeping it forever.  This is my favorite Town Car.  I do not have to sell the car but I have a chance to invest in some real estate and would like a little extra cash on hand.  If this car was in a dealer showroom they would be asking anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000.   My reserve is set well below the $10,000 mark.  I am not asking for a pie in the sky price but would like to make a few bucks on it.  If I don't get my reserve I will simply keep it.

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.

2020 Lincoln Corsair gets a price, and there's a wide range

Fri, May 17 2019

The 2020 Lincoln Corsair configurator is open for business, and that means we also know the luxury compact crossover's price. It starts at $36,940, including the $995 destination charge. If you try your hardest and tick every single box Lincoln lets you, it's possible to get the price above $60,000. We're not suggesting you do that like we did, but it's always interesting to know how high it can go. Read everything we know so far about the 2020 Lincoln Corsair The base price gets you a Corsair "Standard" that is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque sent to the front wheels. If you want all-wheel drive, Lincoln forces the selection of the "Standard I" equipment package, which ends up resulting in a $3,600 increase. That package consists of ambient lighting, a universal garage door opener, navigation and 18-inch wheels. One of the more expensive boxes you're likely to check on the entry-level trim is the Co-Pilot360 Plus Package for $3,050. That includes a bunch of driver assistance gear like adaptive cruise control, lane centering, sign recognition and evasive steering assist. A $2,500 Premium Package nets premium leather seats, a panoramic roof and 19-inch wheels. 2020 Lincoln Corsair View 12 Photos Of course, you can skip a lot of the option and package jumping by choosing the "Reserve" trim that begins at $43,625 with some premium stuff already included. This also unlocks the ability to get the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, which makes 280 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Selecting this forces the Reserve I package and all-wheel drive onto the table, which gives you a ton of equipment, but also increases the price by $6,740. This makes the cheapest Corsair with the most powerful engine start at $50,365. You can go crazy from there, tacking on the Reserve II Package for features like adaptive suspension, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 360-degree camera, wireless charging pad, digital gauge cluster and rain-sensing wipers. Like we said, this thing can get near or over $60,000 without much effort. The Corsair's base price compares favorably to other compact luxury crossovers like the $41,995 BMW X3 and $40,700 Mercedes-Benz GLC. However, adding in a desirable option like the higher-output engine brings the price up considerably.

MKC Concept is the real fresh start for Lincoln [w/poll]

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We 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.
