Lincoln, the luxury marque of Ford is best-known for their Continental. Produced sporadically between 1939 and 2020, the Continental was their full-size luxury offering. It’s a large, opulent and decadent thing that unashamedly embodies the American spirit of excess. Today’s 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Designer Series comes from the fifth series, made between 1970 and 1977. It’s a perfect dictionary description of the popular term “Land Yacht”, and this 15,513-mile, all-original car from Toms River, New Jersey Is now up for sale. Plus, it’s a special edition trim level.
Exterior and Interior
With its sleek white suit, hidden headlamps and sheer length of 233 inches, this 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Designer Series is not a car for the faint hearted. It’s a prominent thing that sports a sheer chrome grille, chromed bumpers and not-insignificant overhangs. The wheels feature shiny hubcaps as well, while the rear portion of the Landau vinyl-wrapped roof comes in burgundy for that contrast effect that luxury cars from the Seventies seemed to enjoy. Inside, you’ll find a white and burgundy two-tone color theme and some superbly padded seats waiting to swallow you up for those long cruises. This is a luxury car and everything is power-operated, including the windows, door locks and front seats. There’s a set of white-faced Cartier gauges, plenty of wood-effect trim, air conditioning with climate control and a stereo push-button radio. You’ve also got ash trays because it was very stylish back then to rock a lit cigar while driving along, emitting puffs of fragrant smoke from time to time. Ah, how things have changed since then. You’ve also got a suitably spacious trunk and a full-size spare wheel, making long trips a breeze.
Engine
With its mega 460ci V8, this 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Designer Series isn’t slow, but the engine was notably affected by the constraints of the Malaise Era. It’s paired with a 3-speed C6 automatic gearbox and powers the rear axle. You’ve also got power disc brakes and power steering, making this Land Yacht surprisingly easy to handle once you’ve gotten used to its size and overhangs.

Flip through the history books of automotive, and you'll find some machines so iconic that they would never survive in today's world of making things bite-sized to suit the needs of multiple stakeholders. The 60s brought about the muscle cars, but during that time Lincoln was churning out motors that would don size and features that are otherworldly, and luxury to match. Present today is a page from the Lincoln guidebook to making a machine that turns heads and takes shape with this 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V. Hailing from Palm Desert, California and with just 48,114 miles on its clock, this is a true definition of a land yacht that has survived extinction and is ready for its new custodian.
