Lincoln Mark V - Barefoot Back Roads Drive

1978 Lincoln Mark V - Bill Blass Edition - Classic Car - Video of a Sunday Drive; showing some details of the cars interior and view while driving in the Northern California Bay Area back roads.

[@Steebow]

Saved all my money to buy a used Mk V in 1986 when I graduated from High School. Was my first car, and I was so proud of it!. You really captured the fun of cruising around with the music on!

[@FRANCIS6189]

TURN THE EFFFING MUSIC OFF. WE WANT TO HEAR THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ctuan13]

PAUL PETERSON I'm not exactly a fan of the music, but it's a Lincoln, there's not really much to hear.

[@TeddyMear]

There is nothing to hear. This video is why I have no interest in the new cars today.

[@suffolkguy17]

dang, that's a scary driveway to have to maneuver for a rear bumper Beautiful MarkV however

[@S0lidState]

Should play some Supertramp, Donna Summer or Doobie Brothers instead of that new crap on the radio.

[@cartertacke9316]

Solid State I was just thinking the same thing.

[@bernieparsons1]

magnificent Linc! thanx.

[@jvilo80]

DAMNIT!!!! I miss my lincolns.. 75 mark iv red wehite top red interior 2 in white walls on classic 80 spokes and spinners.. 77 towncar black red interior.. damnit.

[@jamespolcyn8441]

Hey thanks for the ride....

[@JakeZelmore]

thats a wonderful car man! I would love to own one someday!

[@Nightbird.]

Not sure what people mean by this car not being "practical". I owned a Mark VI & it was plenty "practical". Good gas mileage for the size, plenty of room for guests, tons of cargo space, strong engine, AC/Heat that would blow your head off, gliding over pot holes, safety from all that steel around you, etc. Compare that to these plastic feeling boxes on wheels they sell now, and you can keep your "practical" car if you think that's all a car should be. A Mark is meant to give you luxury, period.

[@brainiator]

I bet that car just glides over the road. Beautiful machine!

[@grooteschuur62]

Bet that Mercury Colony Park in the background belongs to you too! I would stress out pulling the Lincoln out of the garage, fear of a dreaded screeching sound

[@simonramsay6080]

It's cool that you were driving in bare feet! B-)

[@FirstOnRaceDayCapri2904]

I saw one of these at a classic car show i went , those things aren't cars THEY'RE LAND YACHTS!

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

Spectacular car, craptacular music. I had to stop watching due to the poor choice of "music".

[@49RonGuidry]

+Terrence Gold I had to mute it to get through the video. Nice car though.

[@MrGoldenwaffler]

GARBAGE MUSIC

[@jimsaccount8905]

should have played something more period correct

[@KendrickMan]

Stayin alive works lol

[@user-bc7nx7nr8o]

That would be a good move, yes. I would have been about the likes of "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty or "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. (Bear in mind the synth in the latter would be obnoxious after a bit, but the lyrics would have been wildly appropriate to the car--playing off that '70s yuppie stereotype a bit.)

[@ClassicCarRacer]

Beautiful car! I hope i can buy one someday :)

[@user-bc7nx7nr8o]

Me too, bro.

[@dadsc10]

beautiful car :)

[@shane970]

@biglinc1 Too bad you had to sell your 78'. These cars are not practical, but I don't drive them much since I have two newer commute cars - 08' mustang and 05' town car. Thanks for the comment on the cars!

[@ThatAboutDoesIt]

That drive way looks brutal

[@shane970]

@biglinc1 I understand turning a profit since I had 18 cars a year or two ago and now I'm down to less than half that - I'm keeping only the cars that I love. I like your taste in cars! Mustang is the FUN car - it's a "bullet" edition - 5-speed, 4.6L 315hp. The back seats are useless, except keeps insurance rate down and holds a couple bags of groceries. I have yet to post videos of the Mustang. I have a couple videos I need to edit and I'll have more car stuff soon. Thanks!!!

[@alanhcq]

@shane970 thank you very much, and have a good night

[@ChrisDavisMedia]

My mom had 77 Lincoln Continental. It had the "Rose Metallic" paint. Looks like the same interior though...

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

Nice ride these when Lincolns were Lincolns. That drveway looks scary I thought you were going to scrape the bumbers.

[@KoldingDenmark]

Beautiful car, but wow - what a nasty driveway. You have to drive something with less overhang at the rear. Still looks tough though. How do you manage to keep the garage from floading in rainstorms? We tried that once at my parents house, even though their driveway wasn't nearly this steep. Have you ever considered tilting the floor in the garage, by raising the floor at the opening of the gate? It does require a safe drain along the inner wall.

[@shane970]

@KoldingDenmark I do hate the driveway!!! All my cars are big and the driveway is always a challange. I usually use boards to back out without scccraping. There's a drain at the bottom of the driveway that catches all the rain water - so the garage doesn't fload. The driveway makes me want to sell the house and move - but the housing market needs to come back before I can sell the house. Oh well. Thanks for the comment!

[@mustangmooney21]

I hear that the Lincoln Mark V corner's very well.

[@lincolnlane9235]

That driveway is a nightmare.

[@quad8track101]

Beautiful car with most of the good features. You should have played era specific music from the late 1970s or no music at all. I used to own a Mark V.

[@RetroVintageItems27]

That's a really nice car! I cant believe you didn't scrape the bumper on the driveway! Was that you station wagon on the street in the begging? That car looks fun to drive too, my dad has always wanted one.

[@shane970]

no. Sold it. miss it.

[@paulhaggerty9453]

You should have Pavoratti on the radio.

[@thelaneman]

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH, RIDE! God I miss cheap gas!

[@thubb6]

People talk about these being "not practical" all the time. Lol. Single people without kids, whom drive Hummers & Excursions... that's not practical, but to each his own. We're free to drive what ever we won't. The only thing different about the 70's Lincoln's in contrast to today's gas guzzler's, is that the Continental's are, and will always be classics. Period. I'll keep my '78 on the road just to keep the brand alive.

[@dallaspolo]

Why did you exchange the stock exhaust?

[@herbienbrian2]

Holy crap, doesn't your garage flood when it rains?

[@alanhcq]

Hello, i love your car ....and the radio singer at the end, do you know her name ?

[@Thevinylking69]

Did you replace the front end suspension?

[@bullviii]

that wouldn't be palomares or crow canyon would it?

[@242HP]

Love those old Mark V Lincolns, but they wouldn't be my first choice for driving on canyon roads like that. Those cars are best suited for highways or anywhere that's straight and flat.

[@Thevinylking69]

Professional job not scraping the back bumper.....must have took a bit if practice

[@milestone_achiever4634]

Sir, you're better off parking that in the street. That dip into your garage is too steep for the cars clearance!

[@jvilo80]

only in cali can you have a drive way like that.. Here in ohio in the winter you'd be f"d nice car..

[@shane970]

@alanhcq Ingrid Michaelson...I think.

[@Andrea31766]

can u show some foot action?

[@shane970]

Hate the driveway. Glad you like the car.

[@Jirka_George]

Song name at 1:00, please ?

[@Lumotaku]

wrong choice of music but other wise good video..

[@tracybone1336]

What a beut

[@grooteschuur62]

strasburg railroad station

[@KevinBr0wn]

Half a tank of gas just getting out of the driveway haha

[@shane970]

@crosley72 Hi. Not really about the sensation. More lazy to put on shoes after cleaning the car in flip flops.

[@shane970]

400

[@F150MikeFX4]

could have done without the Taylor Swift....LOL

[@smacdiesel]

Beautiful car, horrible driveway.
