I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL TOWN CAR AND HAS BECOME A GARAGE TROPHY AND COMES OUT ONLY ON SUNNY COOL DAYS. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND TRANS WAS REMOVED WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW AND A CUSTOM 460 CID ENGINE WITH A C6 AUTOMATIC AND OVERDRIVE WAS INSTALLED BY A CUSTOM SHOP, FOR FORD. THE ENGINE IS POWERFUL AND RUMBLES STRONG AND LOUD, BUT LEAVES SOME OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR NOW. THIS PAINT STILL SHINES LIKE IT DID IN 1990,HAS NO RUST ON THE BODY, BUT NOT SHOW ROOM AS THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AND SWIRLS. THE GORGEOUS WHITE LEATHER INTERIOR IS CLEAN AS IT HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS AT ALL, AND THE ONLY FLAWS ARE IN THE CARPET WHERE THE OLD CELL PHONE MOUNT WAS AND THE HEAD LINER IN THE BACK EDGE. IT HAS ALL THE ORIGINAL LOOK AND LUXURY OF A LINCOLN TOWN CAR, WITH THE SERIOUS POWER OF A MUSCLE CAR . THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WORK, OUTSIDE THE RADIO AND POWER WINDOWS. IT HAS A MATCHING SET OF MICHELIN SYNERGY TIRES AND THAT HAS LIFE LEFT. A/C AND HEAT WORKS GREAT. TURN THE KEY, DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. THIS IS A SERIOUS CAR FOR A SERIOUS AUCTION, GOOD LUCK!

Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
