The 70s was a time for a major change in the American automotive scene. Nothing was ever the same post-oil crisis. The big shift in big old Detroit motors to fuel-sipping imports and smaller offerings by American automakers meant change was necessary to move forward. Present today is a chip off the old block and a reminder of what cars were and takes shape with this lovely 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk V. With a reported 93,000 miles on the clock, this classic American land yacht is built for cruising in style and showcases the good old days of American motoring.
The Lincoln Continental MKV generation design was unique in every aspect, Jeremy Clarkson of the Grand Tour liked his one so much that you would find it kicking about on his farm. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk V sports a white exterior which helps showcase how large and magnificent this car really is. A quick look around this 70s beauty and you are treated to all its factory styling which is intact and in excellent shape. For wheels, this large American classic sits on its factory rims which are wrapped with thin white wall tires to match. Is there a better way to commemorate the 70s than a blue interior? Step inside this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk V and its blue interior and find out for yourself. The interior cabin is in excellent shape, you are treated to a mix of leather and wood and even its Cartier clock in place that reportedly needs some fine tuning to get ticking again.
Matching the large aesthetics of this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk V is none other than a 400 CI V8 motor. The big old V8 powertrain is just the right applicant to ensure this large American land yacht has enough power to get by and ensure a smooth drive. The current owner reports that the power steering rack has been replaced for an effortless drive. You also get a new alternator and battery to get rid of electrical gremlins. In terms of power delivery, this large American classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The current owner reports that the transmission has been recently rebuilt for smooth power delivery.

If there’s one category of vehicle we’d love to see return in 2025, it would be the “Personal Luxury Car.” These individualized creations focused on being the ultimate in luxury coupes, with comfort being one of the key factors for individuals who like to drive alone. The market was dominated by cars like the Ford Thunderbird, but the upmarket division of the Ford group had their own take on it too, and that came in the form of the Lincoln Mark VI. Our featured 1983 Lincoln Mark VI looks sinister in its deep black paint job with a matching black leather interior and a smoother 5.0-liter V8 engine. The car has 58,000 reported miles on the odometer and looks to be a well-preserved example that will likely appreciate in value in years to come.
Lincoln’s widely successful Continental nameplate continued until 2020 as a full-size luxury car or midsize luxury car, depending on the era. Ten generations were made, with the first generation entering the market in 1940. If you want a really iconic Continental, the fourth generation is the way to go because this series ran between 1961 and 1969. This was probably the best time to experience quintessential American Luxury Land Yacht motoring, and we’ve got a 1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible to help you relive those glorious years of excess. This 80,000-mile machine has seen some refurbishment, too, helping keep it in great order.
Luxury cruising can be experienced in many forms. One might opt to visit the closest dealership and run through examples that give you luxury and tech at every glance. For those who know and understand that luxury cruising is done best with classic motors, you can't replicate that old-school perception of luxury and class. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector Series is a fine example of that. With a reported 26,248 miles on the clock, this low mileage luxury classic is the golden standard of cruising and can be yours to enjoy a weekend drive in style.
The late 40s saw a resurgence in the American luxury car market that had almost died completely thanks to more than a decade of economic depression and World War. The post-war boom brought a wave of Cadillacs, Packards, and Lincolns re-entering the market. For the first few years after the war, most cars (especially the more expensive ones like the Lincoln Continentals) were largely similar to the pre-war models. This was due to civilian automobile production being paused after Pearl Harbor (and America’s subsequent direct involvement in WWII). In this case, the first-generation Continental had only been in production for a couple of years before being put on hold. They were offered only in 2-door form, as either a coupe or a convertible. Several changes were made when production was resumed in 1946, the most prominent being the “Zephyr” name being removed from Lincoln-Zephyr. This production run would last only a few years as well, ending in 1948. The 1949 Continental would be a fancier Mercury and not quite the expensive and exclusive personal-luxury vehicle that its predecessor was.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
Blending classic American muscle with unmistakable Corvette styling, this fully restored 1971 Chevrolet Corvette offers both power and timeless appeal. Finished in vibrant Red paint with a freshly refurbished Black interior, this example located in Chesapeake, Virginia, delivers authentic driving excitement, thanks to its rebuilt 396ci V8 and engaging manual transmission. With just 1,000 miles on the rebuilt engine, this Corvette stands ready for the road or your next car show.
Chevrolet offered the 150 model line-up from 1953 to 1957. The 150 was Chevy’s economy or budget offering, aimed at helping Americans acquire mobility in a cost-effective manner. Produced over two generations, the 150 was offered as a coupe, wagon or sedan. Today, we’ve got a wagon variant of the second generation 150, aptly named the 1957 Chevrolet 150 Handyman. This car comes from Belleville, New Jersey. The current owner informs us that included with the sale is some interior components that are all new and in their boxes, plus the car’s shop manual. With its simplistic mechanicals and quintessentially Fifties styling, this car is perfect for someone looking to buy their first classic car. Read on to discover what it offers.
