1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V review from North America

"A good luxury car from the past"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing more than a few oil leaks, the general fit and finish isn't superb, but isn't terrible either. Rust is the only big problem, but can be sanded out with ease. The fuel economy is also sad, but to be expected being that the car is from the late 70's weighs 6300 pounds and is an American luxury car.

General comments?

I think this car is great, very comfortable, excellent acceleration, totally ironic according to its size. Great for long drives, basically like a big comfy chair all the way there. A bit of a pain to park and the gas bills aren't too friendly, but a crowd pleaser.
