This is a beautiful, well cared for, 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, with the extremely rare factory Fixed Glass Moonroof option. There were only approximately 1,500 made in 1979 with this option. Mine was owned for the last 25+ years by an older gentleman, James, and this was his 'Dream Car', as the monogrammed dash protector indicates.

Metallic blue with white padded coach top, and plush Kashmir Velour interior, which was an extra option. This car has all conceivable options offered in 1979, including factory CB radio for extra safety on the road. In fact, short of the "Collector Series" insignia on the side, this car has every option offered in 1979, and I think looks better than the Collector Series, which did not have the rear opera windows.

This is also a Lincoln Continental "Town Car". In the seventies, the "Town Car" was not the model, it was a trim level which designated the top of the line for the model. Not every Continental was a Town Car, but all Town Cars were Continentals.

This is the last year for the big Lincolns, and this was the largest production car in the world in 1979.

This car looks and runs great. I purchased it after the previous owner passed away, and his wife offered it for sale. The next day, I drove this classic land yacht over the Rockies, the Sierras, and back home to Denver across both mountain ranges. The ride was incredibly smooth and she performed without hesitation or incident. In other words, she drives smooth and strong and crossed the highest points in North America without a problem.

I only purchased her for this road trip, which is now complete. But since this was the 'Dream Car' of the prior owner, I feel a responsible to be the caretaker of this car. So while I am now selling it, and everything is factory original to the best of my knowledge, I have added to the care and love of this classic by putting on new tires, new shocks, new catalytic converter, new starter and recent oil change & engine servicing. I could have passed on the expense for these, but would like to send this unique car to its next owner in the best condition possible.

The interior is in excellent condition, and the exterior is in good condition. The car is 34 years old, and garaged, and the paint is original so there is some oxidation on the hood which I suspect could be buffed out, and a few minor chips in the paint. But you can see from the pictures that she is in all around good shape, no dents, scrapes, etc.

Everything is factory original and in working condition with the exception of the power door locks, which are a little slow, but likely just need an adjustment. Power windows, seats, antenna, stereo, cruise control, heat, A/C, etc. - all work.

My friends have been encouraging me to keep this car, but I have two others and I really don't need three.

If you're looking for a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car, this is a nice one, and I suspect you'll find precious few in this condition, and next to none with the rare factory fixed glass moonroof.

I would love to find a good and caring home for this classic gem.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

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.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
