The Lincoln Continental Mark V Was The Largest Coupe Built by Ford and the Last American Dinosaur

This was it. In 1979, Lincoln was the only holdout still building a giant, full-frame car designed before the gas crunch, or OPEC, or emissions and safety standards that changed everything about the way Detroit built cars. Never again would there be a car that took up this much real estate and resources to transport an occupant or two in extreme opulence and comfort. Cadillac had downsized in 1977, Chrysler in 1978, and Lincoln would call an end to these land yachts in the 1979 model year, starting a smaller, lighter full sized car in 1980.
Reigning supreme on the boulevard and the highway, this Mark V did exactly what it was designed to do in comfort and style. In 1977, the big block 460 c.i. engine was still available, and still sucked gas like a sailor drinks beer on shore leave. The steering and brakes were overassisted, and it seems ironic that a car of this size could be so effortless to drive.
Never again will we see cars like this cruising the streets and highways, and while many people would say that's a good thing, I'm not one of them. In our cookie-cutter, plastic fantastic world of today, the cars may be better in a lot of ways, and even the ways that count - but they have no soul like a Lincoln Mark V.

Although I think he was off the air by 1977, cars like this will always remind me of Frank Cannon. Cannon's Mark was actually a bit shorter; it's truly amazing that between two gas-crises, Ford had the audacity to add 2" to the length of one of their biggest cars.

[@ViolentMLG]

I actually like the rims personally. The chrome rims and chrome exhaust gives it a muscle car vibe and compliments it really well IMO. Its super clean and simple. I prefer it over stock. IMO some old 70's and 80's cars just look tired. No class or luxury even considered when looking at the dated design today. MK5 is one of them IMO. I'm not a big fan of non-stock cars either. Like if we're talking MK3, stock is the way to go, but some cars have style, others don't. I think the rims take an old tired car that typically only enthusiast who are 60+ appreciate and turn it into a head turner for any demographic. Brings it to life.
