There was a time not too many years ago when the name of a Lincoln product told you what purpose it was built for and how and where you should use it. The Town Car nameplate is the best example of this. Before the stretch limo versions of the 2000s, this name was attached to Lincoln’s Continental line in the 1970s. Lincoln released the fifth generation Continental in 1970 and it would stay in production until 1970 with some year-by-year changes and a major facelift in 1975 (to differentiate itself from the new Mercury Grand Marquis that it shared many components with).
Exterior and Interior
The most striking aspect of this Lincoln is its mindboggling proportions. The hood alone is probably longer than most hatchbacks and parking in the city is certainly out of the question, but this is a car that one is meant to be fashionably chauffeured around in. With its chrome bumpers, large grille with the Lincoln hood ornament, protruding fenders and hidden headlights, the front end of this machine is truly impressive, especially with this black paintwork. It rides on 15” wheels with wire wheel covers and white striped tires. The rear half of the roof has a vinyl top with opera windows. The interior is also black and contains possibly the softest seats you’ll ever sit in. The overall theme of the interior is similar to an opulent drawing room, with very liberal (but tasteful) use of wood veneer with the black upholstery. Being a flagship Lincoln, it has a host of power features including power seats, power windows and power locks. It also has automatic climate control. The vast trunk hides a full-sized spare wheel (no space savers or mini pumps in these yachts).
Engine
The emissions regulations had been in effect for a few years by 1979, and as expected the horsepower ratings of this 400ci V8 (with a 2-barrel carburetor) aren’t stellar, but it had a good low rpm torque rating which results in a smooth, comfortable ride when combined with the 3-speed C6 automatic transmission that connects it to the rear wheels. Further driving convenience was provided by the power steering.
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.
Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand, sort of like how Cadillac is to General Motors if you will. One of their most popular models has got to be the Continental. First appearing in 1939, ten generation of the Lincoln Continental have been produced, up until as recently as 2020. Of course there have been breaks in between, but the firm consensus is, the Lincoln Continental is a mainstay of American automotive luxury. A classic Continental like this fine fourth-generation 1961 Lincoln Continental Sedan is thus a robust way to get yourself a signature American classic that everyone will be talking about. This car has 97,000 miles on the clock, comes with a 430ci V8 and a 3-speed automatic transmission. It’s based in Miami Springs, Florida and also rocks a custom two-tone interior plus some extra things. Oh, and do you know why the fourth-generation Continental looks so famous? Because it was adapted as the Presidential Car during its heyday!
