1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass review from North America
"Greatest land yacht ever built"
General comments?
I've owned this car for 15 years, and never did anything but change oil and have regular routine maintenance performed.
It was the Bill Blass, dark blue and white with matching dark blue leather interior with white leather piping.
While it was not a sports car, my Mark VIII was it was the most fun I've ever had with a car. If you wished to be noticed, this was the one and only car to drive.
I still regret selling it. I've owned nine Lincolns in the last forty years and the 79 BB was by far my favorite.
