Vehicle Description
For sale in our Detroit showroom is a stylish and classy 1979
Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier. In the 70's, the Lincoln Mark
series was the pinnacle of luxury. This was Ford Motor Company's
way to compete with Cadillac, and a very successful way at that.
The Mark V screams 70's luxury, from its long straight body, to the
hideaway head lamps, to the pillow top seating, or even the opera
windows. The size, weight, and presence of the vehicle lets you
know that someone important is behind the wheel. Although the car
is something to admire, behind the wheel is the best place to be.
The bench seat is as comfortable as your easy chair at home, the
steering is light enough you could steer with one finger, and the
ride is so soft it feels like you're floating down the road. This
is a car made to cover long spans of roadway. Powering the car
along is the original 400 CID V8 backed by a silky-smooth C6
automatic transmission. The entire drivetrain has just 18,308
actual miles, and the only thing it needs is a proud new owner!
Making this Lincoln especially desirable and rare is the factory
power sunroof. The original owner ordered this one with plenty of
goodies, including A/C, AM/FM with 8 track, cruise control, hub
caps, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power windows,
power seats, power sunroof, anti-lock brakes, tilt wheel, seat
belts, leather interior, and radial tires. Recent upgrades include
replacement of all belts and hoses, new heater core, brakes were
serviced, and the carb was rebuilt. These late 70's cruisers have a
great following and may be the next high-dollar classic. This one
is ready for the collector, or simply to be driven and appreciated.
