1978 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK V-DIAMOND JUBILEE
The Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Edition of the Lincoln Continental Mark V celebrate Ford Motor Company’s 75th birthday in high style and superb luxury. This classic epitomizes the opulence and style of late 1970s automobiles and it was offered in only two special colors, Diamond Blue and Jubilee Gold. The Diamond Jubilee Edition Continental Mark V is simply the most luxurious Continental ever produced, and includes: a special color-keyed Landau vinyl roof and body trim, simulated diamond chips laminated into the rear quarter opera windows, front bucket seats with a padded center console with umbrella, upholstered in luxury cloth with broad lace inserts, padded leather and ebony wood accents, beveled instrument panel lenses, and turbine-style alloy wheels.
All original and with only 24,100 miles, this Jubilee Gold example, offered from a prominent collector, is one of 2,597 produced in this color and has been preserved remarkably well, retaining the charm and magnificence it boasted when it first rolled off the assembly line. The car's condition is highlighted by its receipt of a special award at the 2023 Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance. It still possesses its original leather-bound owner's manual, a leather-wrapped tool kit containing three uncut keys, and the sales brochure.
Mechanically, the 1978 Lincoln Mark V is powered by a robust 7.5-liter 460cid-V8 engine, the last year for the big motor, producing power that translates to a smooth and commanding driving experience. Its automatic transmission ensures effortless cruising, embodying the era's emphasis on comfort and ease of operation.
Owning this 1978 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee Edition means possessing a true icon of American luxury and a collector piece that offers a blend of vintage elegance and a sense of timeless prestige – “…the highest expression of luxury that trace their lineage to the original Lincoln Continental.”
