DESCRIPTION
This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Edition is a significant piece of automotive history - the final year for the Mark V and the large Lincoln coupes. The factory applied Light Champagne color adorns the long, sculpted body, emphasizing every line of this 19-foot luxury vehicle. A Valino half-roof vinyl top in matching Light Champagne crowns the car. The 15-inch wheels are fitted with 235/75R15 tires, providing a solid stance. Chrome elements contrast against the paintwork, from the imposing front grille to the understated rear bumper, creating a visual representation of late \'70s luxury.
The Champagne and red leather interior exemplifies the era\'s definition of luxury. Dual power bucket seats offer comfort for extended drives. The dashboard houses an unexpected feature - a factory CB radio, a high-end option in 1979. Power windows, locks, tilt steering, and cruise control are readily accessible, designed to enhance your driving experience. The leather displays some creases, indicating miles of enjoyment, while maintaining its overall dignified appearance.
A 400 cubic inch V8 engine powers this Continental, mated to a C6 3-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers the effortless performance expected from a luxury car of this caliber. The engine starts promptly, settling into a quiet idle. Power steering and power disc brakes on all four corners allow this grand tourer to handle with unexpected agility for its size. The exhaust system provides an appropriate note - present yet not overwhelming. The coil spring suspension with shocks and sway bars front and rear maintain a plush ride, absorbing road imperfections effectively.
