Lincoln Continental Mark Series Submodels
From 1968, the Mark series shared its platform with the Ford Thunderbird, becoming more accessible but no less grand. Models like the Mark III, IV, and V defined 1970s American luxury with long hoods, powerful V8 engines, and lavish interiors. These cars were all about making a statement with their bold grilles, opera windows, and sheer size.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust, especially under vinyl tops, in the lower rear quarter panels, and on the trunk floor.
- Test the vacuum systems that operate the headlight doors, climate controls, and power accessories, as they are complex to repair.
- Big-block 460 V8s are durable but check for signs of overheating and listen for timing chain rattle on high-mileage examples.
- Interior parts, especially dash pads and specific upholstery, are hard to find, so prioritize cars with complete and well-kept interiors.
