1978 Lincoln Mark Series Diamond Jubilee 42374 Miles
Lincoln was celebrating 60 years in business in 1978, and what better way to commemorate it than with a special-edition Mark V? While this would be known as the Diamond Jubilee edition, it's hard not to deny how much it sticks out from a crowd when done in the optional gold. And this is a full collector-level package with the numbers-matching big V8, original paint, believed original mileage, and a luxury A/C interior. You even have rare finds like the sunroof! The Mark V was a true road-owning vehicle in 1978 where it far outstretched even the Cadillacs. So you took notice when one of these came around a corner. But the imposing style becomes unforgettable when done in Jubilee Gold paint. This shows all the right signs of being the factory application, and while you have imperfections from time, it absolutely retains a shine that impresses. And gold trim and gold vinyl roof make the full car look gilded. The acres of sheet metal remain in great condition with the razor-sharp creases that define the Mark V still crisply rendered. And yes, there's a lot of gold here, from the bumper rub strips, the grille, and even the padded insert on the "Continental kit" out back. There's plenty of chrome, too, all of which shines up nicely and looks great for its age.
