Vehicle story

The Mark V marked the apex of Lincoln luxury and engineering. This was the last year of the full-size chassis—literally, an end of an era. It’s all-original and very low miles. This smooth-cruising, bronze time machine has many unique design touches, including concealed headlights, turn signals incorporated into the leading edge of the front fenders, an upright chrome grille, the trademark hump across the edge of the trunklid, oval "opera” windows, and a vinyl roof.

This big car offers big luxury, from the soft suspension to the luxurious interior with cold A/C. The car starts right up, moves well, shifts well, and is comfortable and easy to drive. This car has no serious flaws and the car is fully serviced, sorted and reliable.

While this car is well-maintained and in excellent condition, it is still over 40 years old. I ask that you drive this car reasonably and do not abuse it. Please understand that it will not be flawless like a new car, and there is a greater chance of something going wrong.

Notable features:
-3-speed automatic transmission
-power steering, windows, locks and brakes
-Power-adjustable front seats
-tilt steering column
-air conditioning
-cruise control
-AM/FM stereo with 8-track player
