The Lincoln Mark VII sits in that narrow lane where Lincoln quietly built something far more serious than its image suggested.

Clean examples […]
The Lincoln Mark VII might not have been the last big American personal luxury coupe, but it was certainly close to the end of the American 2-door luxury boat that started way back in the early 1950s with cars like the Cadillac Eldorado…which coincidentally may have been the last personal lux coupe when it was […]
The seventh generation of Lincoln’s Continental platform was part of Ford’s downsizing trend and ended with the Continental moving from the Panther platform to the unibody Fox platform. The Continental was now a mid-sized car and was available with things like V6 power and…gasp…a diesel engine!! Today’s Continental has the Ford 5.0 small block V8 […]

It was powered by Ford’s legendary 5.0 V8…but saddled with a basic 4-speed slushbox but this next owner has fixed that with a few parts from a used Mustang. Find […]

Find this 1990 Lincoln Mark VII LSC SE offered for $2750 near Boston, MA via craigslist. Tip from Art C. From […]
This next car is a late model Lincoln wearing 2005-ish Ford Mustang wheels, which is great but the seller REALLY should have taken 32 seconds to remove the giant spatter of bird doo before taking pictures for the advert. Find this 1988 Lincoln Mark VII offered for $1800 near Atlanta, GA via craigslist. Tip (and […]
Welcome to another edition of the Thursday Twister, DT’s favorite quiz game where the answers are written on the wall of men’s rooms. Today, I want to bring up the subject of airbags — not the aftermarket kind that can be used to slam your whip to the ground, but the stock kind that are […]
The Jaguar Mark VII was a large luxury saloon introduced in 1951 as a replacement to the outgoing Jaguar Mk V. The unlucky number VI was skipped due to bad connotations with King Henry the VI (went insane at the age of 31), Rocky VI (did we really need another Rocky after Rocky V???) and […]
