Gorgeous Take On MODERN LUXURY! 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V at Classic Auto Auction.

[@robertforest1229]

That’s really nice and I want one

[@GloucesterODaugherty]

The Mark V is the pinnacle of what Lincoln was all about. No Lincoln since has epitomized the purpose of the brand as well as the Mark V, the absolute best looking Continental that ever rolled off the line.

[@angellisa2614]

I have a Mark V that is Dove Grey in color. Been driving her for 23 years (I got her in '99) and she has saved my life more than once. She's a great car; her name is Elizabeth.

I just got a 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V justva few months ago. It has always been my lifelong dream car. I finally own one now! Black with red pinstripes. I call mine Black Beauty. This was the most beautiful car ever made! 😊

[@I___]

My regards! It would be very interesting to watch a video from you and hear a detailed story about 23 years of experience in operating this car! ♥

[@owlnswan4016]

I have one as well in Dove Grey...the Cartier Designer Series car from 1977. My favorite car in the world.

[@GloucesterODaugherty]

Consider this, the Mark V is several inches longer and several hundred pounds heavier than the later Lincoln TowN Car, based off the panther platform which was derived from the Mark V chassis.

[@owlnswan4016]

The Panther platform was not derived from the Mark V.

WOW 1978 Diamond Jubilee 75th anniversary edition GORGEOUS

[@michaelriley727]

I own this same car w 36k miles.. after auction fees that was a great buy!!!

[@raymondcanessa7208]

A car like that was on the "Dallas" tv show

[@briannichols4807]

That's right , it's the same kind of car Jock Ewing drove on that series . In fact , they have the exact Lincoln that he drove in " Dallas " on display at Southfork Ranch for the tourists to see . I went up there and saw it myself .

[@karltork6040]

No one mentions it's a Diamond Jubilee Edition!!!

[@LulaRoberts]

👉👍The top of the line Lincoln in the 70's.

[@mikepapillo5728]

these are f k rookies]\

[@kevincostello3856]

Dint understand why NO ONE in that room seems to know that is fairly rare 75th anniversary edition mk v ??

[@stevendonnalammar4422]

I had one of these years ago, was a 79 Mark V Collector Series. Had almost all of the same trim treatments as the Diamond Jubilee.

[@darolfitch8917]

$11500 wow sure seems strong for an 78 Lincoln, how ever, if it doesn't need a ton of work, maybe not such a bad deal. You could pay a lot less for one, but if it needs a ton of repairs, you will be in to it for a lot more than $11500. The amount paid is not life changing money, plus if the buyer wanted it, than good on them for stepping up to the plate. A person should get what they want. It doesn't happen all that much . Hope everyone was happy

[@stevendonnalammar4422]

$11500 is still half of what it was worth new.

[@angellisa2614]

How much does it cost to be put on the list for the replacement of Human body parts? After working for numerous auto repair shops and in the towing industry, the wrecker drivers who had to go out on calls for police rotations would tell stories of the most horrific crashes that involved loss of limbs at the very least... and the dismembered bodies of crash accident victims! My big brother picked out this car for me, telling my Mom that "no matter how badly other motorists operate their vehicles, Lisa will NOT be injured!" Yeah, my Mom and Big Brother bought this car for me so that I would not suffer. I wouldn't trade this car for a new Lincoln!! Pieces of crap all new cars are! Made with cheap aluminum... that says Pepsi, Sprite, and Budweiser on the inside of the fenders! I tell people that if Elizabeth got pregnant, she would give birth to 3 Toyotas!!🤣

[@bryanhill1419]

Back when cars were used to pull campers

[@angellisa2614]

A towing assembly cannot be installed on this vehicle; I know, because I tried to have one attached to the frame by a shop that specializes in installing towing packages.

[@dennismccallister3994]

This car would have been a real looker with a detail on wheels and paint.....Love this model

[@christopherkraft1327]

I'm surprised that there was no mention of this being The Diamond Jubilee Edition!!! 🤥

[@JTKels]

Who the hell could understand the guy stating the bidding???

[@ClassicTrucker]

Don't think it lost any value in 45 years

[@johnmirbach2338]

[@pliashmuldba]

Sweet. Id like it, put in a 572 CUI, and drive around listening to the tree huggers sob as i roll by

[@samthompson1080]

Did not have power mirrors.

[@stevendonnalammar4422]

Remote mirrors.

[@mikepapillo5728]

yes that was the first year for power mirror and first year for navagation

[@samthompson1080]

@@mikepapillo5728 Mark V only had cable control mirrors

[@angellisa2614]

There were no power mirrors on any car in that era.

Wouldn't want a fuel eater

[@angellisa2614]

It not about economy; it is about safety!!

[@grabir01]

Junk. Mark III was ok. After that, all junk until the Mark VII and Mark VIII which were the best American cars made. Period. Not as good as Toyota or Honda.. But still good.

[@mikepapillo5728]

your must be a honda guy ,, you are you saying all hondas R junk

[@grabir01]

@@mikepapillo5728 I do have a 79 Honda Goldwing. Does that count?

[@Friedbrain11]

I ahd a '78 Mk4 at one time and it was a piece of junk LOL. Hopefully that gas guzzler is not driven or someone going to be poor after buying gas hahahaha

[@angellisa2614]

The years '74, '75, and '76 are the Mark IV models. Your knowledge of the automotive industry is not up to snuff, Birdbrain!!😝
