Prince Frederick, Maryland, United States
|
this is a beautiful example of an mostly original Lincoln MarkIV. Garaged kept always, lost storage two years ago but always covered, never seen snow, caught in rain a few times while driving. I've owned the car the last 15 years and knew the orig owner personally, his name plaque is still on the dash. This car has always been driven and cared for lovingly, pampered and maintained. I bought the car with about 62000 miles and now has 79905 miles. Over the last 15 years it was only driven on special occasions or nice days in summer it has been a toy and a joy when you want to show off because it attracts attention and lots of it. It's never been a "daily driver" over it's 38 years for me or the orig owner. I have a lot of paper work on this car, orig owners manual, plastic owners card from dealer for service, records from emission station, when that was still necessary etc. The originality of the car is impressive, I reluctantly replaced the carb last year to a edelbrock with elec.choke, the car now gets better gas mileage and a power difference I can really feel. I also replaced the water pump, fuel pump , shocks and brake pads on all four disc brakes. Other than that and a hose or belt as needed it is all as it came from Lincoln. Amazingly the upper radiator hose has never needed replacing. The a/c has been converted to 134a and works as it should the autotemp system is fully operative as is the power antenna, stereo radio w/8 track player, cruise control, power seats both sides with passenger recline, the clock works but not always. The minor rust issues have always been seen to properly and touched up as they were beginning. Mechanically the car is dependable uses no oil and leaves no fluids on the ground, the trans is smooth and shifts crisp as it should. the vinyl roof I would have replaced, I use liquid vinyl to keep it looking as good as it does now. I am putting a low reserve on this car and hope I can get some pics up but you can call me at 202-841-5927 that's my business cell phone and deal with any questions or requests you may have. call skip at 2028415927. A deposit of $1000.00 (not refundable) within 24hours of sale, balance within 7 days certified funds please. I will help with shipping if I can. Bid with confidence, this is a fine classic car and you won't be disappointed.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
