5 Liter ever made in USA, as if on a cloud, impressive white Top white wall tires colonial manse after another.
From the passenger's seat, we pilot his 1974 Lincoln Continental Mark IV.
This Continental Mark IV was originally purchased in northern calif now resides in our climate control warehouse garaged, driven only occasionally, for the past twenty years Lincoln might be running away from these cars now, but the Mark IV was a real success story at the time.
The company had brought out its predecessor, the Mark III, in 1968, in response to the Cadillac Eldorado.
The Mark's Rolls-Royce grille and fake-spare-tire hump stood in stark contrast to Bill Mitchell's creased and classy The 1974 brochure humbly states:
The Continental Mark IV is one of the most desirable and most wanted personal American luxury cars of this decade.
It is indeed very much a car of its decade.
The 1970s Continental Marks are arguably the zenith of the personal-luxury era, in all its long-hood, short-deck, vinyl-top, opera-window glory, in the same way that a '59 Cadillac epitomizes the finned '50s.
As Deak says, It's the pinnacle of mid-'70s fabulousness.
And there is fabulousness.
Ford threw everything it had at the Mark-some of it serious, some of it less so.
On the serious side, one can't help but marvel at the smooth and silent operation of the massive, 460-cubic-inch V-8 engine.
The Lincoln Continental Mark IV also offered rear antilock brakes and an electric windshield defroster, both of which are on this example.
Less serious perhaps is the Cartier clock (with genuine Roman numerals!) that is as prominent as the speedometer and sits proudly near it in the instrument panel.
