1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC review from North America
"Most treasured car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Chrome wheels began to crack and peel so had to replace all four - expensive.
Outside driver door handle broke -white metal - costly for a small part replacement.
Right side of neon taillight darkened due to dirt seepage from top of lense & not sure how to remedy - unsightly as it appears shadowed at night.
General comments?
I had a 1971 Lincoln Mark III and this car is reminiscent of that car - powerful engine and multiple luxury appointments and firsts in the industry.
A real looker and head-turner.
Nice lines, wrap around luxury.
Distinctive styling in a boxstyle-oriented industry.
