- Today we take a step back in time to the good ole days to when luxury cars were judged on their size rather than their tech equipment. This beauty is a time capsule in the very nice Designer Edition Cartier package, with it's unique exterior and interior color combinations. These cars were well equipped for the time, featuring power windows, door locks and automatic climate control as standard. This car even has the relatively rare Miles to Empty fuel consumption computer. While that's everyday tech in the most basic of cars, this was almost 40 years ago! Actually, the MKV's had a total of 9 on-board computers and the engines were literally suffocated by incredibly strict government-regulated emissions controls.
Neighborhood Car Reviews gives you an alternative look at the already impressive list of car videos that are online. What we do is a first-person walk-around of the car. We show features and details that are on the particular model being shown. Performance data, safety equipment and the like are usually not shown due to the already enormous amount of videos that cover the aforementioned topics.
We like to cover everything from classics to high-end and everything in between. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Good to see that some of the Grand Ladies are still out there and look so good. This car is a true survivor!
What a beautiful car. Class act. Period.
If you’ve never driven a car like this you just have no idea exactly what you’re missing. You’ll cream
I remember these so well. They were quite popular despite their high price. Back when the Lincoln name really meant something. Nice review!
+David M I wish I had the money to buy this car. If I did, no questions asked.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews I had that same model in same color paint and interior but mine was a 1979 with a 400 motor. Nice car, but I sold it because did not like the color to much. It is a good mood calming color though.

The mark v is my dream restoration car. The older i get, the more impossible it seems. My dad had one when i was a kid and i loved it. Unfortunately it was stolen and totaled :/. I felt like the coolest kid getting dropped off in it.
They’re my all time favorite Lincoln.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews if i ever find one within my price range and ability, im buying it. They dont make em like this anymore.
Condolences. My biggest fears of daily driving a classic ... theft and vandalism.
@@vdelrio999 The hate is real.
WORK OF ART!!!
Nice review. However, it's not a 4-valve engine. It's a 2-valve engine. Maybe you saw the term "4-V" written somewhere. That means "4 venturi" which refers to the carburetor design. Most people would use the expression "4-barrel" to describe it.
Correct!

WATCHING THESE BEAUTIFUL AMAZING CARS THAT THEY USE 2 MAKE IS GREAT ALL THESE CARS HAD THEIR OWN PERSONALITY NOW THE CARS ALL LOOK THE SAME. RICHY RUDELL. BKLYN. BY NY NY
not having a sunroof probably saved this car...they all leak after a while...only getting worse as the years go by. indeed, the interior looks incredible...that off-white with the dark red buckles is as nice an interior as any ever...truly stunning. someone got themselves a real dreamboat.
Pretty car. I'd have paid $12K 5 years ago when a dealer would have asked $16K. Today times are a changing. I'd still offer $10K although a dealer would have it marked $35K or more. Good Luck and thanks for showing this. It is now a documentary of Cars of the 70's.
My Grand father has the same car!!! Been sitting in the garage for over 20 years
I'd be sneaking it out at night!
Dream car!
+Capybaraism You and me both!
I am still in love with that huge hood - what a GORGEOUS car, love the color. I was surprised to see that it did not have the “AutoLamp” feature to turn lights on/off, I wonder if that is because of the headlight covers? I was so into the American luxury cars as a kid, with family owning bustle-back Seville, Eldorado Biarritz, 1st/2nd gen Continentals and I learned to drive on an ‘85 Town Car. Now I own an S and an SL class Mercedes, VERY different cars, but I still have a soft spot for the luxury behemoths of my youth. TY for the video share!
They all have covered headlights. The Autolamp/Autodim was an option (except for the Diamond Jubille and Collectors Series cars, where it was standard).

I absolutely loved mine same color same trim except mine had a sunroof in it. You can fit two people hanging out of it it was so big LOL good times
My only regret is not buying this car! I loved every minute of filming this. Then, 1 year later, I revisited it, re-filmed it and added more details! I couldn’t believe it when that happend!!
My mother just inherited my grandfather's Mark V in the Champagne color. It is in pristine condition! I was shocked today as i was taking pictures for the insurance at how it looks very near as it must've coming off the car lot. My grandfather was the original owner & it has only 15k miles on it! The leather is soooo nice & plush!
Nice car. indeed.
The trunck butten is electric, not vacuum.
The trunk is not large. If you have travelled in a 1978 Town Car, you are in for a surprise if you don't travel with soft bags.
I never understood why the Mark Vs do not have a center arm rest in the rear seat.
MY CLASSIC DREAM CAR!...
I have a 79 Town car in the same colour. Doesn’t seem to be a very common colour. This is the only other Lincoln I’ve seen in real life or online in light champagne. 🧐
My dream classic car I was introduced to these kinds of cars thanks to an 80s disney movie. Oliver and Co the villain Bill Sykes. Bill's cadillac is a mk V lincoln continental and that's why I love them and wish to own one someday.
Also there is an electric antenna manually operate it right under the dash by the ashtray...
They all had electricit antenna
I have had 5 of them 2 of the 77s a 78 convertible and a 79 plus a mark 6 1982
Kenny Smith I had one myself a 77
You sound as ate up as i. I've had the 3,4,5,6,7,8. My favorite cars were the marks.
Not gonna lie those interiors look comfy AF
They are.
Such a beautiful car. I'm sure that car rides and drives like a dream..This was when Lincoln were set apart from everyone.nowadsys these new Lincolns look like Fords with fancy chrome and upgraded leather and front wheel drive. Sad
Honestly, I’m a HUGE DUMMY for not buying this car on the spot.
The old lincolns and old cadillacs!. Are better than the new ones!..
Very nice!
This was Jock Ewing's car
I'm old I remember when these cars were brand new I had a friend who owned one and it still had that new car smell. You forgot to point out the ashtrays
It comes with a CB Radio?! Well hot damn, how much you want for that baby?!!! I buy it!!!
i like classic muscle cars
Beautiful Car!! Could be my retirement gift 😊
Nice review! And what a great looking car. Who knew cars had electric windows all the way back in the 70s!
+100 Rental Cars Thank you! I really enjoyed this one! And, they had power windows all the way back to the late 40's. Those were hydraulic operated.
Neighborhood Car Reviews The 40s?!? I had no idea!
100 Rental Cars there's been an electric windows way back to the 40s
they had power windows in the 50's
Alanis!
Beautiful usa cars.👍🇺🇸
I need this car😲
I thought the Cartier model had opera lights that wrapped in the red to accent the roof?
Did the 1978 Lincoln Diamond Jubilee Edition ever come with a chime or just the classic buzzer?
+Jac2Mac I believe all DJE’s and 1979 Collector Editions had the chime, which was a mechanical bell and striker. The Designer Series cars had that as an option and the standard Marks had the buzzer.
Jock Ewing's car
Nice review. However one bit of criticism however. There is too much distortion. Your lens is severely wide angle and wants to get everything in view by "bending" the subjects. The end result is not pleasant. Something to consider in future videos. Have a good day
+styldsteel1 Yeah. I’m in the process of getting a new camera. Just working with what I have at the moment. It’s not ideal, but I guess it’s better than nothing. Hopefully soon I’ll have new equipment.
Nice car 😍
The trunk release was electric solenoid not vacuum
Hi can I know the color code of this car. I want to paint my grand marquis the same color
Magnificent automobile, topnotch, is it still available? if so how much?
Always liked these cars but never understood why a Lincoln had the same wheel as a F-150 ?
ONLY THING MISSING A SEXY MOONROOF
The 460 was a 2 valve heads.
I want it.
I would buy this car.
I almost did...
-Almost.
Mobilnya bagus...
Great car,may I ask where you got the tires from?
+Dave Cowdrey Honestly I have no idea. I don’t work for dealerships and I don’t own the car.
Dave Cowdrey Visit www.dbtires.com They have the most amazing tires in the entire world. When you download their free catalogue, you will be speechless.
price?
How much $?
continentals are the best, i looks like brand new
My cousin's mother had one the Burgundy wine that look just like this one y'all should have seen her try to turn it around🤣🤷♂️ that is a beautiful car when they came out they were ridiculously gorgeous all of those beautiful colors and champagnes greens stripes two tone never to happen again I don't think but they were some kind of gorgeous those big old white wall tires they used to move with the spookiness🤷♂️🤷♂️🌹❤
4 valve?????
Richard P I meant to say 4 barrel. I misspoke.
These were smoker's cars with 4 ash trays
And that's ok
NIce. Not thrilling but nice.
TREASURE BATH!!
Wash this!
She's quiet
Where's the MOONROOF?
Papo Cam Sadly, that’s one of the few options they original buyer didn’t select. This car, at $16,678 in 1978 USD was already incredibly expensive. In 2018 USD comparison, that’s equal to $65,291!!
+Neighborhood Car Reviews Nevertheless it's BEAUTIFUL, NJOY.
Bzzzzzz?!!! In a Lincoln?!!! No chimes to remind you to buckle up?
That was an opinion
And isn't it ironic
What?
Horrible car, lack of taste, the lost decade of the American car
Those hideous crash bumpers don't do this design any favors.
dj33036 .dj63010 Actually, those huge heavy steel bumpers are one of my favorite features. I think they look outrageously gorgeous.
I love mine been wanting one since I was 7 years old in those days these cars were all over town it was the Escalade of the late 70s early 80s
Actually, they're quite functional. Once, I had to "kiss bumpers" to help a stalled vehicle get off of the road. It was gentle, no damage, and those cars are strong!
Those clueless Ford designers of the 70s did not even know how to use ugly black plastic everywhere, especially on the doors. And they thought in terms of different interior colors, upholstery, and accents. What losers. Imagine how much we have learned since!
All they've learned since then has been to make all the cars look, feel and drive the same, regardless of the manufacturer or segment. Now a Ford Escape is similarly equipped to a Lincoln Corvair and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference in ride quality.
