    We have a nice 1995 with the JBL non-CD system. For the last two years, I've toyed with the idea of installing some type of CD player. A few days ago, the on/off switch began to malfunction. This is probably as good a time as any to make this improvement. My wife and I are not audiophiles on...

    Possible 1995 Mark VIII Purchase

    I have an opportunity to purchase a 1995 Mark VIII with under 10,000 miles on it. The car is beautiful and is exactly the type of vehicle I've been seeking for some time. I'm sixty-five, and over the past forty years, I have owned an embarrassing number of vehicles, but never a Lincoln. I've...
