John F. Kennedy Assassination Limousine Look-alike With Presidential Flags on 2040-cars
Longview, Texas, United States
|
If you want to be anonymous you'll need to keep this one in the garage. People pull over beside the road when I approach in this look-alike to President John F. Kennedy's Assassination Limousine. Equipped with double-sided embroidered Flag of the President of the United States and United States Flag with fringe. On the front you'll find red blinking lights for your use in parades if you wish as well as actual and original Presidential Seals on the back doors on each side. Inside is a richly embroidered with gold Presidential Seal on the back seat. It has a public address system which has been disconnected as well as a DVD player which has been disconnected both of which were pulling the battery down when the car sat for long periods of time. This car runs with more get-up and go than a new car. It probably needs a tune-up as it's slow to start after sitting for weeks of non-use. It's been used mainly for parades. It's so neat to drive this car--everyone thinks it's the real assassination car not realizing that it's not a stretch limo like the 1963 Assassination version now in the Henry Ford Museum and turned into a hard top by LBJ. I'm not kidding that people go nuts when they see this car so don't be surprised. The previous owner used it to drive to play golf only. I'm the third owner. Originally from Michigan and then Ohio and now in Texas the past 10 years and always garaged. Retractable top was working perfectly until I let it sit over the winter closed last year and had to open manually this past summer. It probably needs fluid only which was the problem in the past. No rust but a couple of minimal age spots on trunk lid which don't go through paint. Has an oil leak which I had inspected and is a slow leak on a bent oil pan. Original interior has cracks to leather as shown in photos but feels smooth to touch and I didn't want to replace original. Air conditioning was working but leaks fluid so needs repair and who needs it with convertible! Has a leather cover for it. Buyer is responsible for pick-up in Longview, Texas only 60 miles from Shreveport, Louisiana and 125 miles from Dallas, Texas. Or you must provide for arrangement of shipment. Sold as-is and where-is. Available for complete inspection before purchase. Just so you will know, Reserve is $39,000.

Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Sun, 02 Dec 2012Lincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday.
What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above).
Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
