My dad bought one! He just had to get that 460 ci motor (last year it was offered) for autocrosses, etc.!

It was his first non-Mercury purchase too! Pa-Paw drove Fords exclusively (as did G-grandfather)....

I knew dad was losing it when he bought my CJ5 from me in college .... and then my niece's first gen Prius decades later confirmed it :D.

That's striking, and an obvious design predecessor to the Camargue. Headlamp/fender treatment is a bit awkward.

"Striking" is one way to put it.

'69 eh ....

Another Nixon travesty ... that pic should be moved over .. ungodly too :(

Anyone remember the TV show Cannon ? He drove a Mark III/IV if I remember correctly .

For a summer, I drove a 1973 Ford Thunderbird. Loved it. I’ve never had a better cruiser.

The beauty of the Mark V series was the designer editions :D The Bill Blass, the Givenchy, the Cartier, the Pucci ..... it's just tough to beat a powder blue velour interior.

That’s ghastly. I have never seen that before and I thought I knew a lot about Mercedes-Benz products from that era.

Look what I found. As if a Mark IV isn't 70's enough! And stetching it ruined the lines, ugh!

Mine was red.

I've had a number of Fords over the years, and nary a Chevy.

Recreating the styling from the Detroit Big 3 isn't the best idea that RR ever had.

It's not that it's bad; it's just boring.

That’s three or four bad ideas pasted onto one car. One committee designed the forward third, one designed the middle third, another designed the rear third, and yet a fourth group designed the greenhouse area.

I find it hideous.

That may be the worst looking car they ever designed.

Looks dorky awkward to me.

I had a silver stinkin Lincoln Mark Vlll for about a year. 2 door, good lookin and a 5 liter HO engine. Can't remember why I sold that car but shouldn't have
