Great car, my in laws drove it to Florida always leaving right after Christmas and returning in May to the Jersey Shore. No rust, clean inside. My father in law, a Mechanical Engineer, never believed that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", all the wheels were greased! Although not the original owners, it appears after the initial investment was made, this vehicle was well maintained and cared for.
Unfortunately. due to health issues, he can no longer drive. The A/C is ice cold, all buttons, switches, knobs are functional. As informed buyers will be aware Lincoln Towncars during that time frame had an issue with the Intake Manifold constructed from plastic that cracked over time resulting in engine coolant leaks. However, having kept a watchful. eye over his pride and joy, he felt uneasy about passing a potential problem and the high cost to a new owner, he decided to have it replaced recently with the new aluminium coolant runner version.
As always my father in law wanted to be upfront. This car is mechanically very sound, and generally looks good other than the following minor cosmetic/ wear and tear issues which could easily be corrected.
The two back taillights have a small piece missing as seen in the pictures---this does not affect their functionality and they are not leaking. On the rear passenger door, there is a 5" by 1/2" section of clear coat missing, as shown in the photo.
The driver's seat and center console are showing cracks.
The rear bumper has small flaking of paint and could be easily repaired..
The front driver's side wheel has some tarnishing.
As the Lincoln Towncar drives like a dream and are renowned for their soft and supple air ride suspension, one of the air bags in the rear suspension had a minor leak. So rather than compromise the luxury ride and feel of the Towncar, by converting to coil springs, he decided to have both air bags replaced 4 weeks ago. This car comes with two new front tires and rear tires that are 85% thread.
This is also for sale locally so I have the right to end this auction at any time. The new owner will receive this car in turn key condition, fully detailed, and serviced with new oil and filter. Serious bidders with positive feedback only. I will work with your shipper and I am open to storing the car for a reasonable time frame if necessary. For the quality and condition of this vehicle, the reserve price is very reasonable. Feel free to call with any questions James---215-970-4820.
Good luck and Happy bidding!

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.

We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
