You are viewing a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV in bullion gold with corresponding leather interior. It is a two-owner, 44K mile automobile with a strong 460 cu in motor and all the power accesories, recently fitted with new whitewalls. It is unrestored and as close to flawless as can be imagined and I urge anyone serious about acquiring it to come look at it in person, as it will astound you. The paintwork is the best I have ever seen and it has to be one of the most impressive Mark IV's in the nation. It is literally the color of a bar of gold. Pay particular attention to the photograph I took of it in my garage. I had just parked and was walking away to get the cover and actually stopped in my tracks and knew I had to try to capture the incredible brilliance of the color and the shine of both the paint and all that stunning chrome. And as I sit here I'm not sure a camera can truly do justice to the way this car almost glows of its own internally generated radiance.
I've also included a photo of a brake rotor and caliper I took when the tires were being put on to give you an indication of just how well-preserved this car is in every way. And additionally, I was even able to locate the build sheet less than a week ago, which will allow you to trace the originality of this car much more thoroughly than you otherwise could. Its a heck of a treat to find a piece of documentation on an automobile that has been hidden away and untouched for more than 35 years!
This is by far the most striking Mark Series automobile I've ever seen and I just had to relate this anecdote. On the day that I worked on the photos for this listing I happened to stop in front of a small country church just as the attendees of a Saturday afternoon wedding were exiting the building. The bridal party was moving off towards their cars and the congregation was still miling about and saying their goodbyes on the church steps as I sat at the intersection waiting for traffic to clear. It was a beautiful day -- perfect for the lucky newlyweds or for a cruise in a cool car -- and I was admiring the scenery and the well-dressed paritioners, and pondering the twists of fate that have to this point allowed my to avoid the marital yoke. And just as I was at the peak of my pleasant reverie and preparing to pull away a girl in the bridal party turned and pointed at me in the Mark and said, "Hey look at that car!" Well, apparently everyone was watching the bridal party exit because as if on cue all of the seventy-five or so people turned in unison and watched my slowly drive off. I'd like to think they saw the appearance of a pure gold Lincoln as a sign that the union was charmed. It was a cool moment for a very deserving automobile, because it has been meticulously garage-kept and cloistered for decades, it seemed only right to show it off a bit and let it shine in the afternoon sun. Enjoy the photos and the video at the link below!

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.
Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
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.
