Lincoln Continental Mark Series Submodels
The Continental Mark series began in 1956 with the Mark II, an ultra-exclusive, hand-built coupe priced at nearly $10,000. It was intended as a successor to the pre-war Continental and established the brand's personal luxury credentials. With its clean styling and high price, it was America's answer to Rolls-Royce.
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.
Today's market is highly segmented. The original Mark II is a six-figure, blue-chip collectible, while the later 1970s and 1980s models offer an affordable entry into classic car ownership. The average sale price of $19,068 reflects this massive spread, with collectors valuing low-mileage, well-preserved examples with specific color combinations.
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.
