1990 Lincoln Continental Mark VII Bill Blass Edition

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1990 Lincoln Continental Mark VII Bill Blass edition offered a wonderful showcase of American personal luxury design, combining Lincoln's confident styling with the tasteful, fashion-forward touches associated with the celebrated Bill Blass designer edition. This model year's smooth, aerodynamic bodywork gave the Mark VII a sophisticated, forward-looking road presence that set it apart from more traditional luxury coupes and sedans of the era. Special badging and unique trim details reflected the exclusive nature of this designer collaboration.

Power came from a smooth Ford 5.0-liter V8 with Electronic Fuel Injection, delivering confident, refined acceleration paired with the quiet, effortless operation expected of a genuine luxury coupe. Paired with an efficient overdrive automatic transmission, the drivetrain offered relaxed, comfortable driving. Inside, richly upholstered leather seating, elegant wood trim, and thoughtful ergonomic touches created a genuinely premium cabin environment befitting the Bill Blass name.

The Mark VII beautifully captured the confident, stylish spirit of 1990s American personal luxury motoring, offering collectors a genuinely distinctive classic.

Finished in Pastel Alabaster, this '90 Continental Mark VII Bill Blass Edition features Canyon Red leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a modern head unit. The car has been registered in the Southeastern U.S. since new. This 1990 Lincoln Continental Mark VII Bill Blass Edition is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
