The Lincoln Continental was engineered to be among the finest

　　automobiles America has to offer, and the 1979 Lincoln Town Car

　　Collectors Series was at the very top of the company's lineup. The

　　1979 model year is the finale for the last full-size luxury sedan

　　built in America. To commemorate this historic event, the Flagship

　　Town Car was offered as a limited edition, The Collector's Series,

　　which epitomized the luxury and elegance of America's last

　　traditional luxury sedan.

　　The 1979 Continental Collector's Series came fully equipped. The

　　Continental sedan with this elite option ran around $16,500. The

　　cost of a fully equipped Collector's Series ran in excess of

　　$18,000. Comfort and convenience features and accessories optional

　　on the Lincoln Continental are standard for The Collector's Series.

　　This is a very special limited edition.

　　Signature exterior features include color-keyed Coach Roof,

　　gold-color grille and bumper inserts, right-hand remote-controlled

　　outside rear view mirror, color-keyed premium bodyside moldings,

　　color-keyed turbine-style cast aluminum wheels, Appearance

　　Protection Group (front and rear carpeted floor mats, door edge

　　guards and rear license plate frame), right and left-side

　　illuminated vanity mirrors and Interior Light Group. This car is

　　fitted with a set of American Classic white wall tires that enhance

　　its classic look. "Collector's Series" is affixed to each rear roof

　　sail panel attesting to the fact that this is the quintessential

　　luxury sedan.

　　The Continental Collector's Series includes as standard equipment:

　　power vent windows, interval wipers, Defroster Group (electric

　　window defroster and heated left-side outside rear view mirror),

　　and Headlamp Convenience Group (automatic headlamp dimmer, and

　　Autolamp on/off delay system). This is a sedan designed for comfort

　　and pampers its occupants with Automatic Temperature Control,

　　This 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series is

　　powered by the Ford Cleveland 400 CID V8 engine and has one of the

　　widest stances of any car in the world and rides upon a long 127.2"

　　wheelbase. It has the luxury length of 233" and is 79.9" in width.

　　Its impressive size, extraordinarily comfortable ride and

　　impeccable road manners makes it a very distinctive luxury car. The

　　Continental Collector's Series sedan is the last of the real

　　American luxury automobiles. Ford was the only domestic automobile

　　manufacturer that made automobiles this large for the 1979 model

　　year. This is indeed, the end of an illustrious era in

　　motoring...
