Description of 1972 Lincoln Mark Series Continental Mark IV- show original title

"The 1972 Lincoln Continental. The finest cars built in America" * *Quoted from: http://automotivemileposts. com/lincoln/prod1972lincoln. htmBarn finds are very hard to come by in California but here is one that was driven only 80K miles and according to the previous owner whom is the 2nd owner was driven less than1. 00 miles in the past 3 years. Everything is original and works as it should except the driver side rear quarter window does not move up or down all though the motor can be heard. my guess is the regulator is broken. This beauty even has a Cartier Clock which I was told was standard!!!"In 1972 less than 23% (10. 08 of 45. 69) of Continentals were Mark IV Also:1972 was the best sales year for Lincoln since 1966. 60 out of the 100 Cadillac owners participating in a test said the Continentals had a more comfortable ride than Cadillac. **Quoted from: http://automotivemileposts. com/lincoln/prod1972lincoln. htm Styling of the 1972 Lincoln Continental Luxury CoupeThe Mark IV carried over most styling motifs from the successful Mark III. including the tall. prominent grille. the fashionable long-hood short-deck style. covered headlamps. a "spare tire hump" in the trunk. and the taller. knife-edged fender line. For 1972. close-fitting bumpers dipped in front to allow a longer grille. At the rear. the bumper followed the rounded "spare-tire hump". continuing its lines further down. Both of these styling touches were lost in subsequent years because of Federal 5 mph (8 km/h) bumper mandates; the front in 1973. the rear in 1974. All Mark IVs were equipped with a vinyl roof. The Mark IV introduced the opera window to the Mark series. a feature that would become a Mark trademark until 1984. In 1972. it was an almost universally specified option and from 1973 onward it was standard equipment. All Mark IVs were equipped with the 460 in³ (7. 5 L) Ford 385 series V8 engine. 1972 Mark IV's were rated at 365 bhp which drove through a C6 3-speed automatic transmission. The performance-gap between the 1972 and its later-years was significant since in 1973 compression-ratio was lowered considerably due to new changing EPA requirements. and Ford adopted a new SAE method of measuring horsepower. nbsp;resulting in 212 SAE net hp. "Lincoln might be running away from these cars now. but the Mark IV was a real success story at the time. Lincoln had brought out its predecessor. the Mark III. in 1968. in response to the Cadillac Eldorado. The Mark’s Rolls-Royce grill and fake-spare-tire hump stood in stark contrast to Bill Mitchell’s creased and classy Caddy. By the early 1970s. however. the Eldorado had taken a turn. following Lincoln down the boulevard of baroque. Lincoln. nbsp;meanwhile. turned up the wattage with the Mark IV for 1972. and sales jumped by nearly 80 percent over theprevious year. The Mark IV sailed past the Eldorado and outsold it every year after. The 1974 brochure humbly states: “The Continental Mark IV is one of the most desirable and most wanted personal American luxury cars of this decade. ” It is indeed very much a car of its decade. The 1970s Continental Mark IV is arguably the zenith of the personal-luxury era. In all its long-hood. short-deck. vinyl-top. opera-window glory. in the same way that a '59 Cadillac epitomizes the finned '50s. Ford threw everything it had at the Mark—some of it serious. some of it less so. On the serious side. one can’t help but marvel at the smooth and silent operation of the massive. 460-cubic-inch V-8 engine. The Lincoln Continental Mark IV also offered rear antilock brakes and an electric windshield defroster as standard. Less serious perhaps is the Cartier clock that is as prominent as the speedometer in the instrument panel. The low roof and small windows make for a cozy interior. almost absurdly so. given the hugeness of the exterior.
