1979 Lincoln Mark V review from North America
"Big, powerful, beautiful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's window goes up, and not down.
Factory radio does not work.
Headlight switch also needs replacement.
General comments?
Easily one of the nicest, most comfortable cars I have ever owned.
I use Shell, 91 octane, and can get 19 mpg. I think that's great considering most SUV's get 15 mpg.
Very reliable and gorgeous. The car is in excellent needing only a few cosmetics. I would recommend buying a Lincoln to anyone.
