1979 Lincoln Mark V Collector series review from North America
"They are dreamboats to drive"
General comments?
I bought my first one from a used car dealer.
It is blue inside and out with moon roof and velvet interior.
The second car was from a private owner. it is exactly the same except for leather seats and no moonroof.
I got 23 mpg on a trip from outside of Cleveland, Ohio to Pittsburgh, Pa. and back using the cruise control set on 70mph.
The cars handled like a tank in the snow. My girlfriend has no problem with driving in bad weather.
