Vehicle Description
This is a stunningly authentic, truly immaculate condition Lincoln
Continental Mark V, Cartier edition with a genuine 40,000 miles.
Cartier worked in cooperation with Lincoln to provide an exclusive
"signature" motorcar for its time. The car is 100% original in all
aspects, right down to the factory pin-striping and Cartier logo on
the trunk lid. This car is a rare and wonderful find. Finished in
Light Champagne (52) with matching Champagne (HV) leather
upholstery. The specifications for this Cartier example is: Cartier
Edition Light Champagne paint finish Light Champagne Landau Vinyl
Roof Light Champagne Bodyside Moldings Dark Red Dual Pin Stripes on
Bodyside Cartier Logo on Rear Deck Lid Cartier signature in Opera
Windows 6-Way Power Passenger Seat Dual Beam Map/Dome Lamp
Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirrors (both sides) Turbine-Style Cast
Aluminum Wheels This is a genuine 2 owner car from Southern
Arkansas that spent the last 10 years of its life in the Midwest in
the hands of a collector so rarely used in the snow. As the first
owner, it was "grand dad's" pride and joy until he passed away. It
is now showing a very modest 40,700 miles. The car has been
recently gone over by a local work-shop and everything is in good
operating condition. The engine runs smooth and powerful. Brakes
are good and the car stops sure. All features and functions work
well with the heater hot and A/C ice cold. All windows, mirrors,
radio, wipers, exterior and interior lights work as they should.
The headlight covers work every time! The body is rust free and the
underside is relatively clean (it appears to have been
rust-treated). The whole car is very straight, accident free and
has never had any body repair. This is evidenced by the original
factory stickers and markings on the inside edges and under the
hood and trunk. The paint is completely factory original and looks
fantastic. There are barely any minor chips here and there and the
headlight covers are pretty much free of marks. Down the sides -
not even a ding! It is very shiny, consistent and simply looks
great from close and afar. The original vinyl top is excellent. All
rubber, glass and trim fixtures are in wonderful condition without
any signs of fading, marks or scratches. The interior is absolutely
fantastic! This is the hall mark of this Continental and makes the
car look like she is only a couple of years old - without
exaggeration. Finished in a light champagne leather with rich red
seat inserts and door straps, she looks incredibly sharp. The dash
is perfect without any sun-fading or cracking. All the faux wood
and chrome finishings are like new. The dash cluster is like new.
In fact the whole dash looks like new! The steering wheel without
scratches or cracks. The leather seats are in simply amazing
presentation and condition, totally clean and remain very supple.
Please look at the close up photos below. Carpets, door panels,
handles, switches, knobs and every little item is virtually
perfect. The headliner is indeed perfect. And, the cigarette
lighters have never been used - an almost impossible claim for any
70s era car! The interior is without doubt a 9.999999 out of 10.
Just stunning. Everything on the car works correctly; windows,
seats, mirrors, instruments, heater, AC. Even the clock works
perfectly right done to the day and date! The car all round is very
original in all respects. Sporting 1" whitewalls on original rims.
