This vehicle has been released for sale from a personal private collection
The Continental Mark III is a personal luxury car marketed by Lincoln from 1969-1971 model years. The namesake successor of the 1956–1957 Continental Mark II, the Mark III again served as the flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. Offered as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark III was noted for its hidden headlights, faux rear spare-tire trunk bulge recalling the Mark II and its upright grill recalling the Rolls-Royce Pantheon grill — so named to recall the famed Roman Temple.
The Mark III was developed as a direct competitor to the Cadillac Eldorado, creating a three-decade market rivalry between the Continental Mark series and the Eldorado.
