The Mark V in this
configuration was produced only 3 years from 1958-1960. The model was
later introduced again in the late 70’s as a 2-dr. hardtop. This was the
longest American production convertible ever manufactured, a whopping
19’ in length. It epitomized the American luxury automobile marketing
perspective of the era that “Bigger was Better”. Noted styling features
that make this model a favorite among Lincoln collectors include Chinese
Eye dual headlights, egg crate grill design, & bullet tip front bumper
guards. The a/c air ducts are also vented through the doors providing
ventilation to the rear passengers.
This car has a
complete new refurbishing of the interior including replacement of the
padded dash, seats, door panels, & carpet. Both bumpers were recently
re-chromed, the stainless & bright work are all in very nice condition.
The red paint shines. The engine & trunk compartments have all been
refinished. The car runs & drives very nice. The undercarriage is also
in very nice condition. The Lincoln script emblems are gold anodized.
All the weather-stripping has been replaced & is in like new condition.
The jack & spare tire with cover are present in the trunk.
