1979 Lincoln Continental

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collector Series 

  The 1970s luxury car market, the mantras 'bigger is better' and 'more is better' were alive and well. Cars from Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler were large, isolated, came equipped with massive torque rich motors and provided an extremely comfortable ride that was second only to a cruise ship. This generation of the Lincoln Continental is a full-size luxury machine with an instant presence and this one has the options that really impress. The Mark IV piled on the grandiosity of the period with its hidden headlights, large grille, stand-up hood ornament, miles-long hood, half vinyl top, Cartier clock and oval-shaped opera windows. For 1979, Lincoln gave the Mark IV an extra dose of appeal with the Collector Series that marked the last year for the full-size Lincoln.
