This 2-door 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collectors Edition is

　　powered by the original 400vi V8 engine paired with a SelectShift

　　automatic transmission. The exterior was painted with triple

　　pinstripes and features coach lamps and 15-inch turbine-style

　　cast-aluminum wheels. This specific example is presented in white

　　with a matching white Valino grain vinyl Landau roof, color-keyed

　　Landau rood inserts and molding. Lincoln covered the 6-way powered

　　bucket seats in Midnight Blue Khasmin II luxury cloth. Cushioning

　　the occupant's feet is 36-ounce Tiffany-cut pile carpeting; this

　　was twice the weight of the carpet in the standard Lincoln

　　Continental. The Lincoln also used it to wrap the interior garnish

　　moldings and sun visors. The padded portion of the dash is covered

　　in real leather. The Midnight Blue dashboard features a combination

　　of wood applique and stainless steel, and in front of the driver

　　sits a Cartier analog clock. Protecting the owner's manual is a

　　leather covering and a Navy Blue collapsible umbrella. With only

　　nine available options on the Collector Series, this example is

　　optioned with the illuminated outside thermometer, power moon roof

　　and CB (Citizens Band) radio. Optional features came as standard

　　equipment on a Collector's Series and included AM/FM stereo with

　　quad 8-track, rear-window defroster with heated outside mirrors,

　　automatic headlamps, illuminated entry system, passenger recliner,

　　cruise control, tilt steering wheel, power door locks and delay

　　wipers. Comes with a leather-bound tool kit. ** PREVIEW
