My favorite cars of all time. The Mark IV and following Mark V. To me, they are the very definition of class and elegance.
Glad to read you were able to see a winner for you Todd V :-) Lou
This car belongs to a museum.
High praise.
wow...have seen a lot of Marks over the years (I'm old) but never one this color...usually they are dark colors or maybe white...this is spectacular. dude looks like the kind of guy to be driving a Mark
Hi Steve S, Happy to read "this is spectacular" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

One of the most beautiful cars, ever.
And Humberto, honestly looks like he could guest-star on the Sopranos.
I'd buy this car from him.
Hi 67marlins, High praise for the looks of this car :-) High praise for Humberto's looks too :-) Lou
Wow I just bought at 72 Mark IV. Needs work for sure. Alot of little things needs addressing but nonetheless wondering how much it would cost as this place is almost an hour away.
Lincoln MKS are such classy cars. I wish they still made them.
Hi Paul M., Happy to read you enjoy this classy car :-) Lou
The only year Mark IV that looked balanced, not overblown. I have never seen this one in this color.
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy the design of this car. Lou
LOVE THAT WRAP AROUND FRONT BUMPER, my dad had a new 1974 MKIV with a 460 motor. Nice Job LOU THANK YOU!
Hi Philip Settimi, Glad you love the front of this one :-) Glad to read your Dad have a cool car too. You're welcome, Lou
WOW, I forgot what a beautiful car that was! Thanks Lou!
Hi Bill Yates, Thank you for the wonderful reaction :-) You're welcome, Lou
Mr. Garcia really knows his stuff and he sure seems like a classy guy. I live in suburban Chicago and would drive to his shop today for a chat---but I wouldn't want to waste his time because I'm not in the market! But wow, what a cool car. And once again...thanks, Lou!
Hi Anthony C, Glad you enjoyed this story and car. You're welcome, it's my pleasure, Lou

Really wish I could get my Uncle's 72 back on the road and restored after seeing this! Such beautiful cars. Its neat to see these and then all the mark series cars and then to see the subtle design features that made their way into Mark VIIs like mine. Can't beat the long hood! wow
Hi ChizAfterHours, Hope you get your Uncles 72 back on the road too. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
The Lincoln Continental Mark IV 1972, was a real gem, during its heydays, back in the early 70s and it was a real competitor, to the Cadillac Eldorado of that same time period. With all the complete options you could’ve easily purchased this car for only $9000, which was a lot of money back in 1972. What i like about this particular model is the fact, that it really features some of does ThunderBird lines to it. Hence, the Lincoln Continental 1972 offered a beautiful front grill that resembled somewhat to the Rolls Royce, like you said and the body was also assembled, on the same ThunderBird platform, from the Ford factory! Once again, Lou, you’ve really surpassed yourself, in this other terrific episode of your car story. Just keep at her and thanks again, Lou. It’s always a renewed pleasure. Johnny, Montréal, Canada!👍💖
Hi Johnny, Thank you for your thoughts. High praise for this episode, and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
@@loucostabile you’re very welcome.
That idle sound is beautiful . What a fine car !

The mystique of the Continental Mark IV.
Beautiful Rose Diamond color. Would look
great on the new Continental. For 1972 this
was one GREAT ride. Beautifully designed
exterior and interior ...
Hi Marc Miller, I like that "The mystique of the Continental Mark IV". Well said, Lou

Hi Anthony Arena, Glad you "love" this one :-) Lou

Another great car! Is that a world record for the longest hood? Thanks, Lou!
Hi Brian Chappie, Glad you like this one with the longest hood :-) You're welcome, Lou
Just about the most classy, prestigious and beautiful cars ever produced. The '72 had a full size grille before they (feds) made Lincoln run the bumper straight across shortening the grille.
High praise for the design of this car :-)
6mpg city 8-10mpg highway. IMHO best looking car ever.
Hi Bob, Mileage = :-( Looks = :-) Lou
Beautiful color and the deep grille! I only wish the Mk IV had been as well built as the Mk III.

Very nice car. Takes me back to the days when the big 3 all made big cars that dripped luxury and prestige, none more than the Mark IV.
Hi senorkaboom, Glad you enjoy this one, and took you back to a time of luxury car enjoyment :-) Lou
Beautiful car and that color just blows me away.

Already Did, Your Welcome, And God Bless
Gorgeous
Nice :-)
I have a 1976 Mark IV with the dual exhaust, 50,000 original miles, red exterior and white vinyl top. I am thinking about putting a 72' grill on the front, and a 72/73' rear bumper on because the 5mph bumper really ruins it in my opinion! Great video, thank you so much for this.
Hi Loco Airlines, Good to read you have a nice Lincoln too. Thank you for the kind words on this video and you're welcome, Lou
Continental Mk IV : the perfect accessory for my Cartier Tank Française watch. I like the way the car rocks on its springs when the owner blips the throttle. I can almost hear the Dollar coins falling out of the dual tailpipes...
HI Andrew Graham, "I can almost hear the Dollar coins falling out the dual tailpipes.." That's funny :-) Lou
Mine got 8mpg in the city and around 12 on the highway, thankfully gas was cheap at the time! :)
Good times, good times :-) Lou
Great car just out of curiosity does Humberto have a mark II you could video cause he seems to have a lot of these great cars thanks Lou keep it up
Hi William Simonian, Humberto does not (or I have not seen it if he does) however here's a Mark II for you. Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/JS-7rZ0993o/w-d-xo.html
You would need some theme music riding in that beauty
Hi Chris Jones, Nice :-) Lou
I love it!!!!!!!!!
High praise :-)
I absolutely love these cars! There are not very many of these in this condition in Australia. Wonder what something like this would sell for??
Glad you love this one Nicholas Milano :-) No idea on the price for a car like this. Hope you have fun time on the Channel, and tell your car friends, Lou
Is this the original paintwork or has this vehicle been restored??
You were mistaken about the Opera Window: There was an Opera Window DELETE Option. In it's place was the Lincoln Star on, I think, the inside and outside. (I have the 1972 Sale Brochure). The opera window was standard. I have never seen a 1972 w/o one.

Production of the 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV was 48,591 which was a huge increase over the Mark III. The 1972 Thunderbird was almost exactly the same car but came with a 429 V-8 standard (400 V-8 in early production), the 460 V-8 as an option, and minus the unique Lincoln grill and rear hump. The Mark IV, Thunderbird, and standard Continental were all built together at Wixom Assembly. Sadly the real wood interior trim of the Mark III was replaced with plastic wood tone... overall build quality was still very good but not as high as the Mark III. The 1972 model came in a staggering 23 paint colors, 5 vinyl roof colors, and either cloth or leather upholstery in several colors. Just for comparison, a 2020 Tesla Model S offers only 5 exterior paint choices and a couple interior trim choices. The front bumper guard was optional at $19.19 and the opera windows were a $81.84 option. The front grill of the 1972 model is not interchangeable with the 1973 to 1976 models. For 1973 the Mark IV offered its first luxury group in Silver, and the 4 Designer Series Models were introduced in 1976.
Hi SpockvsMcCoy, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Lou
yes you sure know your lincolns,, i had a new mark iv in 75 it had a round glass over the light bulb in the trunk ,, has a metal shield in the door opening where the door hindges are to hide the opening twards the fender,, has a 4 wheel disc brake plaque on the lower dash metal signifing 4 wheel discs,, the rear window opened 2 inches back,, under the hood had the metal info for the motor and tranny and oil data,, 4 inches by 3 inches,, to show how much fluids to add for all eng components,, for the resonator there was a metal cup in the corner to help conserve the resonator last longer,,
ok all this and more ,,, in 1976 the mark iv got rid of all this,, to save money,, this is how they get you ,,, buy getting the engineers to how do we save money,,, so i say the 75 was the last good one
@@mikepapillo5728 I have a 1976 Lincoln Continental with the optional Town Car trim (Dove Gray paint, Gray half vinyl roof, Gray crushed velour upholstery with large headrests, polished aluminium wheels). The 1975 Mark IV did not have the Designer Editions but there was a striking Lipstick and White Luxury Group. What color was your car?
Frank Matthews drove this car!! It was his favorite vehicle he owned!
Hi GG Peso, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy, Lou
To me, the Mark IV looks the coolest of the series.
Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts Kroeber38 :-) Hope you see many cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
many similar interior features to my dad's 1969 ford thunderbird!!!
Hi postaltraining, You're Dad has a cool car too. Nice, Lou
haD- got eaten up by new england salt. but i loved it as a kid. it had the 429 4V and back of the door handle ash trays and the more i looked at this the clock and speedo were exact same location but round. dummy light cluster same location. cruise controls on steering wheel the same. not a great snow car for the winter but what a cruiser!!! i'm sure it didn't have a Cartier clock though lol. just a regular one
Wow that color!! What a car.. very nice :)

Just picked up contenantal Mark v
Hi Tony, Congratulations on your new car :-) Lou
what kind of camshaft does that have in it? doesnt sound stock
Think this one is stock.
hi, it's really a nice car. I've got a 72 Mark iv too and I'd like to covert the original single exhaust to a dual exhaust. What kind of exhaust is on this car?
Thx.
Regards.
JJ
Hi JJ, Glad you enjoyed this one and nice to read you have one too. Seeing this car in a National Award Winner as I understand the dual exhaust is in the original and stock exhaust pipes configuration. Curious, does your car have single exhaust? Lou
Lou Costabile: hi Lou, yes stock is single exhaust with 2 muffler. Very (too) quiet ;-).
regards.
JJ
The 460 ci engine began to get strangled by emission standards by 1972, thus the drop in the horsepower.
Hi Dave, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
Lovely car but I must admit I'm partial to the Continental Mark III. To me every line and piece of chrome on a Mark III was so thoughtfully placed and had a purpose.
Hi Jake Real, Glad you thought this one is lovely :-) I like the Mark III too, Lou
did the 72's have an 8 track?
I think they could have.
hey lou what are all those wires under the dash , don t look neet. sounds like a exhaust leak.
hey Robert, I'm not sure...lets pull them all out and see if anything happens :-)
This car makes me home sick for my 1973 Mark IV l miss that car 😣😣
Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts.
The car sounds like its cammed, am I the only one that thinks/hears that?? Such a beauty.. 190hp..lol And TWICE THE TORQUE!! I'm into modding, I would make that car haul ass with that big block..
Hi TigreLoko24, Hmmm, didn't seem to be anything but factory to me. I'm sure if you had this big block, it would be a "Hot Rod Lincoln" :-) Lou
@@loucostabile hi, thanks for your quick reply.. I understand, maybe it was the way your camera captures sounds cuz it sounds mean..lol Does it sound quiet in person?? Anyway, I'd pay good money for that car, it's super clean..
cartier clocks were available in the mark 3's too -rare that they are found in working condition though
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Had a few of those Marks. The clocks are very easy to fix once you het them out of the dash. They operate by having a set of points similar to ignition points wind the clock (if you have ever slept in a car with a working clock you would remember hearing a click sound every few minutes) anyway the points wind the clock and slowly close back until they make contact this pushes them back apart and the clock is “wound” for a few more minutes. To repair one all you need to do is unstick the points and give them a light sanding with a fine sandpaper. I always enjoyed the fact that everything in my car functioned properly.
Nice :)
Glad you liked this one :-)
:) :)
Please as Roberto if he knows someone in Elpaso tx to work on my 1979 Lincoln Mark V...

am/fm 8 track option?
Hi Rumblepot, Not sure. Hopefully a Viewer can share knowledge. Lou
He shows the AM/FM 8-track tape option in the video. The 8-track is the quadraphonic 8-track option.
did they get that car from Dolemite, Octavius or Demetrius?
Not sure.
Niiice!

Interesting its not a documented color for 72. And also the AM/ FM 8 track was not a 72 option. In 1972 you had your choice of an AM 8 track or an AM/FM radio only.

I had one of my Mark Vs out this weekend and I really don't get compliments, just silly cliched comments. " that hood is as long as my car!!!" Being I felt a bit cocky and a little tired of the silly comments I answered.., your car is five feet long? People, don't forget this was the era of the majestic Caddys, buicks, Oldsmobile. Telling me my hood is big is not a compliment.
As long as you like it man, thats all that matters. I loved my '64 Impala SS till I lost it last month to a wreck, however, I got nothing but compliments and thumbs up as well lol...

The color is beautiful but the idol sounds like it has an engine lope in it I,had a 72 and was pretty copper and white wish I never sold it. Anyway the engine, should idol smoothly I had 180,00056. Miles on it and still running smoothly and every thing still working even the tape player.
Hi Wayne, Happy to read you enjoy the color on this car :-) Interesting this car has a "lope" sound. Glad to read you had a cool 72 too. NICE! Lou
@@loucostabile thanks for your response,as of a matter of fact I've owned the Mark s 3 4 5 7 and 8 and now I'm driving the mkz, witch I, love now. But nothing can replace elegant beauty of the mk,3 and 4 ohh yeah love your videos Lou. I am thinking about another Mk. Four some day in a couple more years. Ohh yeah almost forgotten my wife, had a Lincoln navigator be for she passed away. Anyway Lou, have a blessed year. Shalom

Thank you for viewing & sharing.
Is it real wood?
Seems like it if it's not.
Yeas, it's genuine faux wood.
No, but the earlier Mark III used real wood trim.
Need help bringing it back to life loaded 460 mother all complete
Hi Tony, Need more clarification. Lou
My first brother
That car says to me either a pimp or a mobster is behind the wheel, bags of coke, guns, or body is in the trunk.
Hi Timothy, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou
The clock he showed on the car, had IIII as the number 4 in roman numerals. That's incorrect. IV is 4....oops Ford
:-0
. Nothing more American than a 72 Lincoln mark 4
Nice :-)
I have one I'm selling been in.my garage for 20 years
Hope you find the right Buyer for your car.
GORGEOUS CAR, HOWEVER THAT EXHAUST SOUND SUCKS. THAT 460 SHOULD SOUND LIKE A LOW POWERFULL TONE NOT CLANKY LIKE THAT SOUNDS. YOU NEED TO SHOP AROUND FOR A BETTER SET OF EXHAUST SYSTEM OTHER THAN THAT ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS CAR I'D BE EXTREAMLY PROUD TO HAVE THAT SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY
Hi Rosemarie, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and we'll have to look into that exhaust issue, Lou
These were beautiful. Why are they building such crap today?
Hi VEGAN MGTOW, Glad you enjoyed this one and think it's "beautiful" :-) I think there are some nice cars today too, Lou
Such as? Nothing from Lincoln and maybe the Cad CT6
OX MONSTER The new Continental?
@@pat8437 FWD, fusion based, no V8 and a harsh ride
Oh and it's being discontinued anyway, such a shame since the interior was up to the Continental name
People aren't interested in cars anymore. They're interested in saving money.
the women of the 70s that drove these,....u could call it be4 they got outta the car, would be wearing pink lipstick and black mascara, white nail polish around a fistful of diamond rings...maybe like the girls in the casino movie........
I wish I was interviewing the girls you're describing with this car :-)
really?..... are u sure?...their now somewhere between 75 and 80 years old ....but they have to be better off than their replacements will fair...that beautiful swan on a branch tramp/stamp tatt,... will look like a buzzard takin a crap over a fence by then......whew...... dont even wanna think about it!!...but i know what u mean...and thanks 4 the lol.......
This car's engine was a lot quieter than it sounds on the video. Sounds like it has an exhaust leak in the system or a warped manifold should not sound like this at all! I am surprised that this guy who has a shop that specializes in classic cars and is a fan of the Continental brand would allow such a beautiful classic car like the Mark IV to sound like a Tractor! That is shameful!
Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy.
nice, but the 68 - 71 was better looking
Hi Steve Osgood, Did you see this one? Enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/q_S1RmOsUyw/w-d-xo.html
Lou makes me kind of embarrassed to be an old car guy - there's so much about every vehicle he does that he just doesn't know or misses entirely - nuances of equipment, availability, styling, design, etc., etc. Then he forgets what the owner has already told him. I do appreciate getting a look at these vehicles but wow. Makes me yearn for another Dennis Gage video - also sometimes lacking knowledge but he's somehow managed to finagle himself into some pretty impressive collections (damn why don't I have that gig?), and we at least get to see the cars move - at 20 mph.
Joe makes me kind of embarrassed to be an young car guy - because he never start his own TH-cam Channel and make $$$ with all the car knowledge he has & he never figured out Lou doesn't have to know a thing about cars because the Care Takers of the car have way more knowledge then Joe or I will ever have, so all Lou has to do is ask questions to find out the answers :-) Stay well Joe and have fun with me on the Channel, Lou
I love the color
Nice :-)
