    Another car I didn’t know existed. That is spectacular. I’m an especially big fan of all the interior details like the door designs and materials, the seat designs, the dash designs, controls and gauges, the steering wheels, the roof liners and the use of chrome, stainless steel and other materials. All of it. This is another beauty. The people who designed it must have been so passionate about their work.

    Stunning restoration on a beautiful car. Love all the features, especially the power rear window. I had a vehicle with the power rear window and it was better than a sunroof. I couldn't imagine the strong presence this car would have going down the street today. Had it back then, sure as hell does now. The design on cars back then was a million times better than what you got today. That was when individual designs stood out no matter what you had. Not the copycat me too scared to do anything different designs of today. Imagine this model back in the day with suicide doors!! I know they were on the way by the sixties but still...

    That Lincoln is absolutely stunning! I've owned four Lincolns in my lifetime. I was only 12-years-old when this one came out. But had I been 32-years-old (when I had the financial means) -- I would have headed straight to my local Lincoln dealer to place an order for one. And that red interior is just gorgeous. And all that tasteful chrome and chromed die cast metal -- not the plastic crap we have today.

    I recall riding in my great grandmother's Continental Mark V in 1960. She ran a date grove in what was then called the Indian Wells District of Indio, CA. The driveway from the main house was a good distance from Highway 111; and I distinctly remember my fascination with the rear windshield that retracted into the trunk area--since I was relegated to the back seat. Wow! What a car. The example in is post is a remarkable restoration effort and completely captures the elegance of the vehicle. Kudos!

    I'm 68 yrs old & my dad had a gunmetal blue 4 door. I was born in 1955. I knew my dad loved high class cars but I really didn't know it in 1959. My dad sold it in 1965 for a Chrysler Imperial 4 door. I drove that age 16 to a drivers test and passed. The examiner told me turn to left. I did immediately & piloted it thru the narrowest of alleys. I came from a very rural area of aprox 1500 people He whistled & said wow you pass. I was only 5ft tall! These cars drove like a dream. Again I had not been aware of that at a young age. I'm happy my dad instilled in me fondness of luxury cars. My dad was my buddy. He took me on many rides. I enjoyed riding until I then was able to drive at 16. That was rare for a female. I became very good a to diagnosing & repairing at age 20. I read K C Whitney catalogs. I believe that was the name. Thank you for showing us a very beautiful car.

    I'm glad somebody preserve one of these so well. When we were kids we thought these were hideous. I even remember when the 71 Plymouth Cuda came out the automotive press criticized it as being ugly compared to the 70, that's why it's 72 they went back to the looks of the 70. Good luck today how great looking it is, it's an icon. Fashions and opinion change over time don't they

    I believe this is a Premier, not a Mark V ... All Marks were 2 door. My Dad had a '58 Mk III 2 door convertible but it was light silver blue with a white interior - and it even had the back window that went up and down. I think this was the only car my Mom ever said she liked, and we would go on Sundays to the Oh Henry hamburger drive in, get our burgers, and shakes, then go to Midway Airport to watch the planes land and take off ... Thanks for the memories!
    I just rewatched the video, and indeed it says Mark V on the rear fin and Continental on the armrest ... So now I am at a loss at what a Mark is! Did they somehow use the Mark marquee differently and reuse in later years? I had a '78 Continental Mark V - the selling point was that it had 5 yards of leather - and I still have the brochure and BOS, so I know it is a Mark V. And I am all but certain that my Dad had a Mk III in '58. He also had a '56 Premier convertible which was an extremely different looking car and without all the pizazz of the '58 and a horrible coral color with my Mom's white interior.

    I'm 69 and always have been a car lover and admirer. In elementary school in the very early sixties or late fifties one of my classmate's monied family had a white 2 door Mark II. I remember her mother bringing her to school in it. Now there was a car that was relatively devoid of side or any other body chrome, but dripped excellence and class. As I remember, theirs was white with the "Continental kit", of course. I knew my Cadillacs even back then, but this is another different cookie from a different MOLD! I don't know how else to describe this Mark V, except that it's a boldly beautiful luxury car. American luxury of the highest order. 😉

Pure elegance. Thank you Mike. If it weren't for people like yourself, us out here in far off countries would never get to see these absolute treasures. You know, we all dream of winning the lottery and if I did, this is what I would love to be the custodian of for a little while. Making sure everything that needs attention, gets attention. What an honour it would be......... Thank you Mike......if you could see my face looking at this beauty, I'm smiling from ear to ear.

Absolutely beautiful car!

    I've always wanted a 58 continental convertible!! It was so cool that the center of the rear window went up and down on the hard tops!

    If you're not a rich man it's a lot of hard work owning a car like that!

      You're not as rich after you restore it. That's for sure. Thanks for watching.
