for sale is this magnificent 1979 Lincoln Town Car. You
will be noticed when you drive this car!
Driving this car is like floating on a cloud; it’s very smooth. It has approximately 95,000 miles on it. This was my father's car and he was the original owner. I inherited the car upon his passing. Low reserve on the car. Here are some details about the car: Exterior: Overall, this is a very good looking car. The color is called “Wedgewood Blue”, Lincoln color-code 34. There is some surface rust in the usual places; it appears a bit deeper behind the passenger-side front fender. The chrome is in good shape, showing some light pitting in areas. There are some rust holes in the rear bumper, as pictured. The landau vinyl roof covering is intact, though a bit faded. There does not appear to be any rust under the vinyl roof. Engine: The engine is the 400-CID model with a 2-barrel carburetor. It runs on 87-octane unleaded gasoline. I had the car inspected for safety issues and the engine tuned in 2013. I had the ignition wires and spark plugs replaced. I also had the carb rebuilt and fuel system cleaned at the same time. Any suspect hoses were replaced. The transmission is the C-6 three-speed automatic transmission and shifts smoothly. The car gets around 10 miles per gallon. Interior: The spacious interior is in very good to excellent condition. The fabric is crushed velour and the color is “Wedgewood Blue”, the same as the exterior. The dashboard and doors have faux burled wood trim. The back seat and floor appear as if they have never been used. The front seat and floor show very little wear. However, the lower left hand part of the steering wheel by the cruise control shows a crack. All the fabric and carpeting are original. The AM / FM / 8-Track player is a “Quadraphonic” unit. The radio does work, however the 8-track doesn’t play. It also appears that one of the channels does not work. The power antenna does work properly. The Cartier “digital” clock works fine and keeps accurate time. On the tilting steering wheel you will see the controls for the automatic cruise control. The tilt works fine as does the cruise control. There is a small crack in the lower left hand part of the steering wheel trim, just below the trim on the wheel.
What’s Wrong: Here are the defects that I am aware of. There may be more, which is the reason I am selling the car “AS-IS”:

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
