Now available at our Philadelphia showroom is a 1978 Lincoln
Continental Mark V with 17,000 original miles. This Mark is
finished in Jade Green Metallic with a White Vinyl Landau roof. The
optional two-tone Luxury Group Interior is Light Jade/ Dark Jade.
Make no mistake this car is as original as it gets. Owned by the
son of the original owners this car was the one that the little old
lady went to church in. Originally purchased as a gift for his wife
this car has been special since day one. The car is as it was 40
years ago. The exterior paint is perfect. The interior carpet,
seats, dash and headliner are all original and in like new
condition. the Mark V with Luxury Group option allowed the buyer to
custom design their own Mark. The Luxury Group's "color name" was
derived from the color of the interior. To start the process, the
customer had to first decide on the interior trim, whether it be in
cloth or leather-with-vinyl. At which point, the next step for the
customer would be to choose an exterior paint color offered within
the selected Luxury Group. After the exterior paint was chosen, the
customer then would select their desired roof style and then its
color that was offered within that specific group. Following the
roof choice, would then be the customer's selection of the bodyside
molding vinyl insert color - then to be completed by the selection
of the available bodyside and decklid paint stripe color within the
specified group. After all that was said and done, then the
customer would make choices of wheels/wheel covers, options list,
whitewall tire options, etc. The number of possible color
combinations and options could border on the staggering. But in
general, the Luxury Group was a rather fun 'mix-or-match"
experience for the expressive Mark customer. The result could be
understated elegance to dramatically flashy, or anywhere in
between. This Mark definitely is elegant, with a little bit of 70's
flash thrown in. To view this 1978 Lincoln Mark V in greater
