Nineteen seventy-two was the first year of the Continental Mark IV,
and the only year with the attractive chrome bumpers, which grew
increasingly larger in coming years to meet U.S. safety
regulations. The example offered here has been fortunate to have
been a collector's item since the first day of its life. It remains
in completely original and "new" condition, pristine from tip to
tail, with just 906 actual miles. In fact, it is believed to be one
of the lowest-mileage and most original Mark IVs remaining in
existence. This is the ideal choice for any enthusiast looking to
complete a collection of Continentals, or simply for anyone who
appreciates factory-fresh excellence.To view this car and others
