Vehicle Description
For sale in our Ft. Lauderdale showroom is an original Canadian
1981 Lincoln Mark VI. A redesigned model year (1980-1983) which
changed to the Panther platform. This significantly reduced the
exterior size of the vehicle making it 14 in (356 mm) shorter and
rode on a wheelbase 6 in (152 mm) shorter than before. It was also
500 kilograms (1,102 lb) lighter. Aside from being the first Mark
series available as a 4-door or 2-door sedan in 20 years. The Mark
VI retained most of the styling cues of the 1977 Mark V. This model
retained the hallmark opera windows, Rolls-Royce style grille, and
its characteristic vestigial spare-tire hump on the deck lid. The
Mark VI had more ornate styling than the Town Car, befitting its
place on top of the model line. It sported vacuum-operated
concealed headlamps with an unusual optional feature, called
"touring lights". They were installed externally on the concealed
headlamp doors, which gave an appearance of being headlights, when
the actual headlights were behind the doors. The touring lights
will only turn on if the headlight switch is in the parking light
position. They gave a soft glow, but didn't provide enough light to
drive in dark conditions. They are just for show. The exterior is
painted in the Dark Lime Poly (Green) with a (White) vinyl padded
top and chrome lower rocker panels. The interior is matching with
green cloth and wood grain trim panels. The Mark VI also was one of
the first cars seen with several features commonly seen today; it
came with the all-new Keyless Entry System, digital instrumentation
(VFD), and a trip computer. To see more pictures or information
