Mark III Classic Elegance Meets American Luxury Overview The 1971
Lincoln Mark III represents the epitome of American luxury cars in
the early 1970s. Designed by Ford's Lincoln division, the Mark III
combines plush comfort with commanding road presence. It stands as
a statement of elegance and performance, boasting a powerful 7.5L
(460 ci) V8 engine and high-end features. This car is an
exceptional find for collectors and enthusiasts alike, capturing
the golden age of American luxury. This original unrestored example
was delivered to Whitey and Sons Lincoln-Mercury in Mansfield, Ohio
in at the beginning of 1971, and initially owned by the sales
manager at the dealership, Mr. Meyers. This Mark III with red
paint, black vinyl top, and white leather interior was distinctive-
and caught the attention of a neighbor, Mrs. Taylor. And the rest,
as they say, is history. The Taylor's purchased it in February
1972, and Mrs. Taylor was a proud owner and caretaker for the next
52 years. This car was loved, and it shows. Indeed, this Mark III
has been in a heated garage and meticulously maintained since new.
This was a "second" car for the family and used for special
occasions. It was never in salt or snow. Mrs. Taylor and her
husband were also longtime members of the Lincoln & Continental
Owner's Club (LCOC) for over 50 years and drove this car to many
meets and shows over the years, winning recognition and awards for
originality and condition. The current owner purchased the vehicle
in November of 2023, and has continued the high standard of care.
