1978 Lincoln Mark V
Description
The 1978 Lincoln Mark V is a beautifully preserved Diamond Jubilee Edition finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with a matching vinyl roof, built to celebrate Ford Motor Company’s 75th anniversary. It is one of the most lavish and collectible versions of the Mark V, featuring signature opera windows, concealed headlights, fender vents, power antenna, personalized badging details, and turbine-style wheels. With only 7,000 miles shown, it remains a highly desirable low-mileage survivor from the peak of the American personal-luxury era.
The car is powered by Lincoln’s 460ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor, paired with a 3-Speed Automatic transmission. This drivetrain provides the easy torque, quiet performance, and relaxed road manners expected from a top-tier luxury coupe of the late 1970s. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes add to the car’s composed and effortless driving character.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in rich blue cloth with broadlace inserts, woodgrain accents, and Diamond Jubilee-specific details that give it a distinctly upscale atmosphere. Equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, CB radio, and a Quadrasonic AM/FM stereo with eight-track player. This Mark V is an especially attractive commemorative example with strong collector appeal and unmistakable late-1970s Lincoln style.
