[@brewerjmichael]

My dad brought one of these home in 1982 and I used to sneak it out and drive it. The car had so much torque that if you dropped it into first gear and floored the accelerator the gear selector would pop up into 2nd gear. If you held it in first it would lay rubber down the street. It was a dark blue 1969 model with a black vinyl roof made out of a canvas type of material. Gorgeous bodywork and first class interior. Loved the Mark III.

My father had a 69. I got my driver's license in that car. The instructor was so relieved to get out of the heat in Chicago. He just sat in the seat and kind of melted with the AC on. It was awesome

[@redjupiter2]

I was lucky enough in my teens to have purchased a 1961 suicide door Lincoln in excellent condition… drove it for two years and then purchased my first Mark III a 69 model. I would go on to eventually have owned four of the Mark IIIs over several years. It is interesting to note that with the quick commercial success of this series of Mark that Ford did no design changes except for a few things that only Lincoln purest know - one of them being the hideaway windshield wipers did not exist in the 68 and 69 years and first appeared in the 70 and carried over into the 71 model year. In 68 and 69 the interior wood grain was artificial however in 1970 and 1971 Rosewood was introduced and the model that you show in this video has real Rosewood on the doors and the small strip in the steering wheel and on the dashboard as well. It probably was not inside the dashboard in your example (most lost over time) but at the top of the glove box was a handheld mirror that could be removed from a little shelf that held it. Also you did not mention that this is one of the first cars to use fiber optics. The little bump on the back shelf in between the flow through ventilation vents is a little module with two red eyes that would stare at you in the rearview mirror at night as long as your taillights were on. This feature was to allow the driver to know if a tail light bulb was out. I was absolutely enthralled with that and loved that little feature which used two thick strands of fiber optics that went from those little dots on the rear shelf all the way to the tail light housings on each side of the rear fenders. The flow through ventilation system could be turned on or off and it actually was a pneumatically operated damper door in the back shelf that would open up and completely vent the interior of the car… I think because everybody in the 60s and 70s smoked lol. The Lincoln Mark III in my opinion was absolutely superior in build quality and each series after that seemed to get worse until the Mark VII came out, which was a whole different ball game and actually a wonderful car as well. I am now 63 years old and I have owned about seven various Lincoln’s in my youth. I have long moved on to more exotic vehicles including many Japanese and European vehicles, but the Lincolns hold a very special place in my heart, especially the Mark IIIs.

[@What.its.like.]

Thank you so much for all that added information very much appreciate it I didn’t know about the fiber optic.. I made a list of all the different changes for 1970 that’s why I went on about the hidden windshield wipers.. The way I end up doing these episodes the research I make a huge script and I usually just read from the script and just add stuff and it’s more of like an outline. But for whatever reason the paper that I had with all of the differences ended up in a different pile and I found it yesterday after the fact. I wanted to mention 1970 was the first year for an American car to offer radial tires as standard equipment They were Michelin.. shot another luxury vehicle that day as well which will be on the channel soon.. it had pillow top seats I forgot how soft pillow top seat were, but I’ve owned two Lincoln town cars one with velour pillow side seats which 1988 I really miss that car and it got decent gas mileage took it on a long trip and got 25 miles per gallon on the highway

[@jakereal3604]

Cool and informative post! I’ve owned my Mark lll since 1985 and echo all that you stated! I own a 97 Mark Vlll LSC as well and that is the most wonderful driving car I’ve ever driven. A great combination of fairly smooth ride BUT crisp sharp handling, ample power , superb steering etc … and very dependable. Mine has almost 350k miles! Original engine, one transmission @ 265,000 miles. And this is NYC driving!

Hello new friend. As a 70 Lincoln owner myself. I loved this video. I've been modifying my mark for years. With almost no aftermarket support, almost ever performance was guaranteed NOT to fit. Lol But we're getting there. EFI to long tube headers. Stall torque ,373s and traclok.

[@davidshirly7275]

Great review. I was lucky enough to own a 1970. The 69 Mark III had faux walnut veneer, while the 70 and 71 had real walnut veneer. The wipers on the 69 were exposed, and mounted on the cowl. 70 and 71 had hidden wipers. Also, the wipers were hydraulic like the Thunderbird, not electric, and were truely continiuosly variable. There was a fresh air ventilation system that took in outside air from the front, and vented it through a large louver between the rear window and deck lid. My 70 also had a rudimentory Kelsey Hayes Anti-lock brake system for the rear wheels. I could go on, but suffice to say the Mark III had essentially every technology available at the time, and the majority were standard features, not options.

@David Shirly, Nice info. I know Jay puts effort into research, but many cars have some special features that were a big deal in that era. If I recall correctly, the Mark III had 4 wheel disc brakes as standard equipment. The only other American car with that feature was a Corvette. Also, I strongly suggest Jay get a video camera with lighting. 🔦💡🕯

From my understanding rear discs didn’t come until mark 5 70 mark iii was first car to offer radial tires as standard equipment which was a huge deal. I need to getting lighting rig this one I thought gauges were good until wiper pod park the car outside and did it and it had too much lightning created Glare so you’re always looking for the happy medium because inside is too dark. I’ll look for a 1970 boss 302 added that to the list =)

The cruise works as follows: pull towards you the lever on the dash that says SPEED. If system is working properly the little red jewel will illuminate. Next manually accelerate to any speed over I believe about 24-26 MPH and then press in that little black button on the end of the turn signal stalk. It has TWO Detents. The first detent will select and hold whatever speed you’re going once released. It also is the Accel feature. If you want to automatically increase your speed you simply hold the button to the first detent until new speed is reached and release it. If you’re going too fast and want to slow down you push in ALL THE WAY on that black button and it will release the throttle until you release the button. At that point whatever speed you are now going will be maintained. To deactivate cruise either turn SPEED switch towards DASH OR tap the brake. Tapping the brake releases the cruise control but keeps it still active so long as you didn’t turn switch towards dash. Side note: the cruise in the Mark lll does NOT have a resume feature. You have to once again manually press the gas until you achieve your new speed and tap that button till first detent! This is almost verbatim to the owners manual. I’ve had my Mark lll since 1985 know it inside and out! As for year to year differences : 1968/9 crank driven power steering pump, Diamond pleated style seat/door panel trim. Fake wood on every panel that appears wood. Exposed wipers, no rear bumper reflectors, early cars had white instrument needles vs later through 71 orangish, early 68-9 had mechanical clock, the Cartier clock came late 69 and was quartz movement., 68/9 had the lovely turbine finned wheelcovers, the steering wheel on 68/9s had horn ring no rim blow yet. Also there were THREE different style center pads on steering wheel depending on production time. Seats on earlier cars had embroidered scroll work on rear center upper seat. Early production NO HEADRESTS. THATS most differences. 1970-71 used REAL WOOD even on steering wheel, different seat/door panel pattern , rear bumper reflectors added, concealed wipers. Belt driven PS PUMP, automatic climate control became standard equiptment, rear de-icer added to options (lines in rear glass), several other minor changes as well. New for 70-71 wheelcover design etc. hope this helps !!! Several other very minor detail changes from 68/71 as well like colors offered , added deleted etc.

In the late 70s I had my grandfather's Mark iii and as a 16 year old I realized how awesome that car was. I was that rare teenager that buckled up both the lap and shoulder belts when I drove, aside from the obvious safety aspect, you had a better feeling of how the car drove and handled with the belts buckled. A couple of years later I was in a head on collision with a Chevrolet suburban that crossed the center line and hit me head on. Because of the size of the car and the fact that I was wearing both the lap and shoulder belts in the collision I walked away with only bruises from the belts. Buckle up and enjoy the car.

[@paultanber]

Hi Jay, thanks for reviewing the Mark III. These cars don't get the respect they deserve. I had a beautiful 1970 myself that was aqua with aqua metallic leather and a black top; her name is Barbara. I wanted to say that the wood grain in the 1969 was plastic but the 1970 and 1971 was all real wood. The speed switch you were unsure about was for cruise control and while it was very primitive, the Mark III was the first car with antilock brakes. It was called Suretrack and of course it was labeled in the chrome brake pedal which was so of the time. The computer cycled the brakes four times a second which is nothing compared to todays cars but it was pretty darn cool for 1970. Due to my employer chatting down during the pandemic I had to make the hard choice to allow her to go to a new caretaker. She sold at the classic car auction here in Palm Springs with 43,000 miles and is now in a private museum in Northern California. It was an honor and a joy to have her for the four years I did. You are correct that they are not cheap to maintain such a complex car that is over 50 years old. But I have an Audi A8L that while I love it and it has a price tag in the six figures, it just blends in with all the other cars on the road. Every single time I drive Barb, people would smile and wave. I had a motorcyclist that had a new question for me as we came to each of six red traffic lights. The gas station or stater brothers parking lot always turned into a conversation with a stranger sharing the memories seeing her brought to them. She was nearly 22 feet of aqua colored 1970 excess wafting down the road leaving a wake, a palpable sense of nostalgia and joy. So as someone lucky enough to be one of her temporary stewards, every dollar I spent to maintain her was well spent. I love that you want to spark an interest in classic cars in the next generations. These cars are more than transportation. They are time machines that speak to the unique world in which they were created. Any classic car person knows it is just different when they are driving the old car. It just brings joy to you and so many others. I sure do miss her.

Awesome story thank you so much for sharing sorry for delayed response I wanted to read all of it =) Nothing ride like a Lincoln some Cadillacs come close but their interiors ( Cadillacs are too plain for a luxury car in my opinion) you’re right in saying they are machines some of them can be temperamental the more you drive it the better they are generally. I owned 88 Lincoln town car still the best riding car I’ve ever owned I reviewed the grand Wagoneer that rides a lot like an 88 Lincoln town car even though it’s a very long SUV I would not recommend buying that car tho because of Reliability issues

[@RADIUMGLASS]

I had a 1971. The power steering pump doesn't last long on these so buy a backup and never if it's a winter blast and that car isn't garaged NEVER try and turn the wiper knob when it's ice cold out because you can break the gears inside.

That car would be an awesome car to own just know it doesn’t get good gas mileage but late 80s town cars are nice and great great gas mileage on the HWY 88 towncar is the best year in my opinion if you go that route look for the signature series it offers better seats The easiest way to tell if it’s a signature series is the chrome goes up the rocker panels to just below the belt line. It will also say signature series on the b pillar vinyl roof they also offered this car with digital dash and air suspension which I would avoid if you could do digital dash is cool when it works when it doesn’t work it’s a colossal pain it the but But if gas mileage isn’t an issue for you the mark three is a stellar car

@@MustardCrow I had one as a teenager in the late 70s. It was an awesome car for a teenager. Fortunately I was that rare kid back then that wore both the lap and separate shoulder belts when I drove. A lap belt alone provides minimal protection as it only restrains your lower body. The shoulder belt is essential for the best protection in a collision. I know, I walked away with only bruises and minor scratches from a head on collision with a drunk driver. I was wearing both the lap and shoulder belts in the collision. Hopefully you will find a Mark iii.

[@edhastie6074]

I seem to remember an option called liquid chain. It was a tank in the trunk that held a brine or salt solution. There was a switch on the dash that you pushed when you were stuck in the snow, the salt solution would spray from the rear wheel well onto the rear tires to melt the ice and snow under the drive wheels. Whether it was an aftermarket or Lincoln option I DON’T remember but it was very cool.

I loved the Mark III from the minute I saw a brand new one. Still like it better than Mark IV's, V's or VI's because it's so restrained yet elegant in appearance, plus had plenty of leading edge tech. It's also one of the main characters in The French Connection, a 1971 movie, Mark III starring as The Bad Guy's car, a landmark, gritty film about drug trafficking as well as aggressive & questionable police tactics and has one of the top two niftiest chase scenes even filmed...an NYPD Narc Detective driving a 1970 Pontiac Tempest chasing a foreign assassin riding on the L Train in Brooklyn.

The back up light lenses were flat, without the protrusions, yours looks like the 1969 version to me. There was no doubt that it would easily do 120 MPH. This brought back many good memories.

Hey, I have a 1969 Lincoln Mk III, trying to restore it. The engine of these cars was the big block Ford 460 used also in trucks and vans, as well as big Fords and Mercurys. The impressive thing a lot of people dont know is that these engines were high compression engines, having 10 to 1 compression from the factory. Thats impressive in 1968 or 1969 in a family or luxury class car. The 460 engine is also I think the best big block design out of all American makes, this engine (a stock iron block) can be bored and stroked to 550 cubic inches

Great to see the Mark III. In 1971 my grandad bought a Mark IV and he proudly drove it off a curb to show how soft and silent the suspension was. Then, 6 months later, he was driving the car on black ice over a freeway overpass when suddenly the whole front axle assembly flew off, leaving the big vehicle skidding on its nose but surprisingly very little damage otherwise occurred thanks to the ice. Forever unforgiving of Ford, my grandad switched to Cadillac and never drove anything else afterwards. But, with the velour seats, the Rolls Royce-like grill, and the diamond-flecked green paint made the car gorgeous. The soft-buoyant ride of that car isolated one from the cares of life… an era gone forevermore.

Yes, the wood on the interior is real wood & the speed button on the dash is simply the on off switch for the cruise control & the little red light next to it glows when the cruise is on. Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍😁

=) I thought it was you that requested this car.. it’s my favorite mark so far.. the reaction of the guy diving was great. Jkgalleria if they get a car they are super cool I can drive those cars for the most part. Question what did the button on the end of the turn signal indicator do. I pushed it while car was on and didn’t see anything happen. It sucks how far quality fell in the 80s I thing the v is a quality car not same quality as this the V is longer and i think it weighed less.. I haven’t been in either mark I the mark iv, lsc or any that came after that. I kept referencing the lsc because in my opinion both of these Lincoln’s were radical the mark III not as much as LSC but to me the LSC is the 80s/90s, it’s almost like Lincoln’s Version of the mustang II, but was well received (to be fair mustang II was well received back in the day not looked as the same now for some people, the LSC is a cult classic and the more I talk about it it’s been a while since I’ve seen one) they used to be everywhere

Love these videos! Have you thought of doing some on British Imports? I saw you have one on Jaguar. I fell in love with XKE’s in the 60’s. My family had Triumphs back then. Dad had a spectacular GT6. It was like a mini XKE. I had the Herald. They were notoriously unreliable but the absolute fun of driving them was beyond any other type of car I’ve ever driven. Getting back to this video, I’ve a;ways admired the look of this model Lincoln. Very cool to see such a close up look at them. Amazing how much more room they have than todays cars, but they were about the size of an aircraft carrier!

It is so nice that so many of the continentals had the sharp frontal edges, which gave the driver an insight into the car's length when parking etc. Not something carried through to today's vehicles, where all the edges are cut off. As well, the Caddilaces also had the rear quarter-light withdrawing horizontally, which is a neat feature. Overall, this is a real luxo-barge in my book. Lots of instruments and the passenger be damned. In my book, any car company that provides a mirror for the driver, ensures a traffic jam as women use it as a makeup mirror while driving. Too much of a distraction hazard. The rooftop row of warning lights is very sexy too.

The cruise switch on the dash board is the master on off switch. It has to be on the on position to work. The end button the blinker sets the cruise control. If you press and hold if it is engaged it will slow down the car. If you push the end button and let it go it more than likely will increase your speed in small increments. If you brake or slow down to 30 or 25 MPH and hit tap the end button it will accelerate to the previously set speed. Later models of Ford Mercury Lincoln had the cruise buttons on the steering wheel spokes and they eliminated the master switch on the dash board whereas mid to late 70s and mid 80s maybe 90s Cadillac did not. Hope this helps.

Don't forget to mention "Commander Cody's "Hot Rod Lincoln. 1970 was a year of innovation. A "Sure Track" electronic anti-lock brake system became available as standard equipment on the Mark III. The Lincoln you were driving was equipped with this system. You would be able to see" Sure-Track" written on the stainless steel band located on the brake pedal. Also, the feature you mentioned with the wipers going down behind the windshield is called parking and was available for the first time in 1970 Across most of the Ford line. You are correct that the switch marked "Speed" was the way you activated the cruise control, then a push of the button on the turn signal lever after 35 MPH locked the speed in until you hit the brakes. The 460 V8 had well over 400 BPH, but for insurance purposes, Ford used more conservative figures. One other feature you didn't mention is "Auto Seat back latches" When either door is opened, the Auto seat back latch system releases the seat backs and then locks them again once the doors are closed. You will hear them click each time the door is opened. Available on 2 door models only. I love your videos and always look forward to your next one. I think it is wonderful to see a young man like yourself take an interest in these forgotten and, may I say, glorious cars from this generation. Furthermore, I am the owner of a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis 2 door hard top. "The poor man's Lincoln" as they were known in those days. Thank you

[@stevenhoman2253]

The keys look like typical Ford keys for the era, and they didn't seem to bother changing them for a long time. It has come to my attention, that GM and Ford had a differing policy of access to the rear. The GMs had the seats pivoting on eccentric cams, offsetting the seats for ease of entry, where the Fords just leaned forward. A very different design philosophy.

[@elizabethcherry920]

The speed light, might be a governor. When you were showing the gouges I was checking to see if there was a second indication arm (usually white) in the speedometer, it might be all electric system. When get to the set speed that light may flash or a sound is made ,this is so you don't go over the set speed. I know Buick has this I don't know if Lincoln did

[@bradparris99]

Jay, you need to wear both the lap and shoulder belts on the test drives of these older cars.

[@bradparris99]

Seriously, you need to start buckling up when you review these classic cars. Aside from the obvious safety aspect of wearing the lap and shoulder belts, you will have a better feeling of how the car drives and handles. Belts will hold you firmly in your seat and enhance the overall quality of the drive. When you accelerate, brake and take a curve you will feel more confident and connected with the car. And if something happens, you may get to walk away scratch free.

[@bradparris99]

Back in the mid 1970s when I turned 16 and got my 1970 Electra to drive, I had been through driver's ed and knew that it made perfect sense to buckle up but for a kid in the day it wasn't cool to be seen wearing a seat belt. One night mainly out of curiosity I decided to try out those old style separate lap and shoulder belts. After driving around that night, fairly aggressively I might add, I was blow away with how much better the car drove, handled and overall performed. A better driving experience and added safety, even a 16 year old thought buckling up was a no brainer. LOL, none of my friends seemed to get the message and I was usually the only one in the car with the belts buckled.

[@What.its.like.]

A lot of those Classic Cars don’t have seatbelts my truck doesn’t have seatbelts I don’t plan on putting seatbelts in it either I had a 67 mustang that only had front seat belt, There is a argument whether or not they actually save lives I know a guy who wasn’t wearing his seatbelt The paramedics said if he was wearing his seatbelt he would’ve been killed. But you’re right I need to work on wearing my seatbelt

One more thing I didn’t mention and don’t see in any post was the auto high beam option. I’m not sure why Lincoln chose to mount the sensor/amplifier out on the left side of the cowl but they did.

Another awesome feature that my car has is the HUGE ASC power sunroof. It’s a metal panel covered in the same Calvary twill material as the rest of the top that retracts.
