1988 Lincoln Town Car

54,138 Original miles

ONE OWNER 1988-February 2012

This is one of the nicest most solid Lincolns I have seen in a long time.

I have four 1988, 1989  Lincolns and I have been driving this one daily.

While this car is not perfect it is a very solid good running car.

I will do my best to list all the information about this car.

I have pictures of the car new and the window sticker for the car.

Also a letter from the original owner about the car and also repair receipts.

It has a current registration for California.

The original owner was a school teacher and drove the car very little.

That last service was in 2007 for the following:

Full tune up, fuel filter, plug wires, dist cap, brakes, wheel cylinders,

new exhaust from cat coverters back. (see picture)

Total of $1,073.52 spent.

Mileage at the time was 52,990

Car was not used much after that.

Below is a link to see the Town Car start and run

This car runs beautiful!

Has good tires and tracks straight going down the road, No squeeks or rattles at all.

Doors all shut tight and solid. Windows all work as does radio and antenna. Lights all in working order in and out of the car including trunk light.

Trunk is clean and dry and has no stains or issues. Spare and jack equipment all there.

Engine compartment as you can see is dusty but I did not try to clean it up.  The engine and compartment is the way the car came when I bought it.

No engine leaks and no fluids on the garage floor.

Car runs quiet and solid.

I have both sets of original keys

Car has a new battery (3/12)

 

NOW THE THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION:

You can see in one of the pictures that the clear coat on the drivers side of the hood has gone bad. While it does not look terrible the hood would look better if painted.

The transmission O/D is not working properly.

A/C is not blowing cold, but the sytems is still intact and the compressor does operate when I jump wired it. (Just has low or no freon)

 

I am going to see if the car sells in this auction and if not I will do the repairs and relist the car for sale.

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Lincoln unveils its Black Label Collection at Pebble Beach

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

With the posh surroundings of Monterey, CA during the Pebble Beach week as a backdrop, Lincoln has unveiled is new personalization and luxury service brand, called Lincoln Black Label. Following in the footsteps of programs like BMW Individual, Range Rover Autobiography, and many more, Black Label is strategic strike, aimed at upping Lincoln's brand cachet while luring new customers into the fold. Speaking about this at the Black Label's introduction in California Thursday, Jim Farley, Ford's executive vice president of Global Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, told members of the media that "At Lincoln, our flagship is, you get to choose. That's our flagship."
While Black Label customers will benefit from concierge-like service from their dealers - both during the sale process and throughout ownership - the focus of the introduction is strongly focused on interior design.
Lincoln chose its current MKZ sedan and its MKC Concept crossover (seen in the inset image) as the debutants for Black Label treatment for good reason: the well-received MKC points the way forward for Lincoln styling as a whole, and the MKZ will be the first production vehicle to receive the option of the high-zoot interior design. We're told that eventually, Black Label treatment will be available for the full Lincoln lineup, but the MKZ will be the initial recipient, and not until late in 2014 according to the company's current projections.
