The 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V, produced towards the end of its highly successful decade-long run, is a distinctive large luxury car notable for its sweeping lines and distinct nostrils design on its front grille. As one of the largest American cars at that time, it boasted an impressive length of nearly six meters (nearly 20 feet), providing ample space for its five occupants. This full-size, rear-wheel-drive sedan is powered by a potent 5.8-liter V8 engine under its expansive hood, paired with a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission to deliver Lincoln's signature silky riding experience. It was available in two variants: the regular-length Mark V and the extended-wheelbase Mark V Limo Edition, with the latter being highly sought after for chauffeured services. The interior is characterized by rich leather upholstery and extensive wood grain trim, showcasing 1970s opulence, while its exterior is available in a wide range of colors including the elegant champagne gold shade it was originally painted in.
