    Lincoln... all day long! I had a 78 Thunderbird, same car just not as plush. After the T- bird a couple LTD's, and the last 2 were Lincoln TC. Currently still driving my 2001 Town Car Cartier Series as it's still fantastic as a daily driver and I am the original owner. 249K. These cars don't wear out. Great video.

    I can just picture Sweet Lenny the pimp exiting that Lincoln at the player's ball back in '78.

      A stark contrast to the old woman listening to gospel and country 8-Tracks that was its original owner.

    Keep in mind that Mercedes was getting killed as the Dollar to Deutschmark ratio was sliding in the dollars favor. The 1979 300sd msrp was $3,000 higher than 1978 with minimal changes.

    Man.... my 1978 Mercury Cougar has held up WAY better than both these vehicles.

    A ‘78 continental with no vogue tires? Why....

      A set of Vogue tires would cost more than I paid for the car. Check out my video of how it was when purchased.

      I associates Vogues with Cadillacs.

    The merc is more handsome to my eyes. The Lincoln looks like it was drawn in MS Paint by an elderly woman.

    The Lincoln looks awful inside (and outside for that matter). It looks awful period.
