Details: All the great big personality of the 1970s in a cool limited edition package. This 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition is a low-mileage time capsule than offers distinctionand#44; luxuryand#44; and value.


The Continental has always been a great American luxury car with a TON of vintage sheetmetal. This style Mark V was longerand#44; widerand#44; and lower than its predecessors. The hood alone looks like it could have its own horizon. Luxury was a guarantee with features like the razor-sharp fender creasesand#44; Rolls-Royce style grilleand#44; and 1970s cool flat front hidden headlights. This is accented by attractive parking light lenses that are miniature works of casting genius. Out backand#44; the deck lid features the Continentals trademark spare tire hump/continental kit. But theres something special about this coupe. Few people were willing to add 16% over the already expensive Mark V for the Givenchy Edition. That makes the factory-correct Crystal Blue Moondust Metallic paint a unique feature. This included other notable upgrades such the pinstriping and half vinyl roof in a complementary shade of darker blue. You might have also noticed the Givenchy was the only one that covered the forward half of the roofand#44; and the rear portion had the hallmark opera windowsand#44; but now they have Givenchy in the glass.


Inside the seating reflect the exterior perfectly. The blue leather is a nice matching shade for the accessory colorand#44; and all the seatbacks have the Givenchy logo stitched into them. The doorsand#44; dashand#44; headlinerand#44; and even the steering wheel continue this great blue theme. Its joined by some tasteful wood trim to really give it a premium atmosphere. All of it is presented in like-new conditionand#44; because less than 20K on the odometer means there is very little seat time. The interior is large enough to comfortably seat six peopleand#44; and up front you can fold down the armrests for the choice of independent luxury. As expected with a true premium cruiserand#44; this one comes with power everything - power windowsand#44; power door locksand#44; and power front seats. Other great comfort features in this classic include cruise control and the original AM/FM stereo with 8-track. There is even a Cartier in-dash clock in front of the driverand#44; so you know this is true automotive jewelry.


Fords smooth and refined 400 cubic-inch Cleveland V8 provides effortless performance in the Continental. It has good horsepowerand#44; but the real story is the torque thats about enough to pull a boat. Of course you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this beautiful big bodied carand#44; but its this kind of available strength that allows you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the stoplight. Fans of originality will love how the numbers-matching big blue Ford engine looks factory-fresh. While this is the perfect car for the drive-in (after alland#44; its more comfortable than any movie theater seat)and#44; theres much more to the Mark V. It has a three-speed C6 automatic transmissionand#44; power steeringand#44; and disc brakes at all four wheels. This means you can ride in comfort to car meets as far away as you want.


This Continental Mark V Givenchy Edition is a rare classic with low miles and an exceptionally affordable price. An opportunity like this is seldom and fleetingand#44; so if you want to take it homeand#44; call today!
