they ran out of ideas. All "new" cars today are all the same and have the same features while cars at this time still had things to improve on. Not to mention the looks of the cars lol
I love it how in those vintage commercials you can actually see the vehicle clearly. It's a beautiful American land cruiser. 😊 You could play a hockey game on that hood! Gorgeous!
“A special level of status, attained only by the few.” Boy you can’t say that about today’s Lincolns and Cadillacs. Luxury cars are no longer *just* for “men of status,”but also for the thugs, homies, baby mamas, and pimp daddies. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Also took inspiration from the rolls royce grilles and the general styling fashion of luxury cars from the 30's. This car was a massive hit in the prestige car field.
Listen to the dialogue. This ISN"T a Lincoln, its a Continental Mark III. No where on the vehicle will it say "Lincoln" The Mark II was build by the Continental Division of Ford Motor Company. The Mark III say's it a Product of Ford Motor Company.
The Continental division ceased in 1958. The later Continental Marks were sub marques under Lincoln. While they didn't say Lincoln and I am pretty sure the registrations reflected this too, they were built, designed, and engineered by Lincoln.
Don't waste your time and mental health. I've made the same comment over and over on other "Lincoln" Continental Mark series videos, trying to explain that the Mark line are Continentals, a stand alone brand, property of the Ford Motor Company, and all I got back was unpleasant remarks... Same with people refering to Imperials as Chryslers, another mistake, Imperial being a stand alone brand - not a model - of Chrysler Corporation. But you know and I know, so...
No not putting anyone down just showing respect for American innovation, forward thinking, and Capitalism. Without those three that magnificent automobile would not exist.
i never shopped in a Macy's after they bought out Marshall Field n Co...the main reason the red commie star just doesn't come off patriotic to me so i thought there are other stores that i can shop at and so i do
@@67marlins81 it depends on where you drive it. here where i live, the road salt used to melt ice is used so heavily that all vehicles have serious rust after 7 or 8 years, and many before that. i guarantee you that there would be nothing left of that car by now after 40 plus upper mid west winters, unless of course it was stored in the winter months.
@@carryclass6807 Not exactly. Every Spring I get under all my cars and blast out everything the garden hose can reach. There's plenty left of my '68 Chrysler after several Massachusetts winters.
Why can't today's ads be classy like this? I'm digging the jazzy backing music as much as the car presented.

One of the most beautiful cars ever!🇺🇸👍✌️

I remember thinking the was the most beautiful car on the road and that I HAD to have one. Didn't happen but I still think it was a great car.
I had one. It was a breathtaking car!

I agree but a lot those people will keep them on the road.
I think the designers of the 1969 Mark III had to have looked at the 1956 Mark II for inspiration in creating the new model.
Also took inspiration from the rolls royce grilles and the general styling fashion of luxury cars from the 30's. This car was a massive hit in the prestige car field.
I think all the Marks took inspiration from the original Continental from 1939 except the Mark LT
Absolutely.
Better than any Rolls or Bentley of the day.
@@1983jblackThe Mark LT was a truck! An F150 in drag! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮
Imo the 3 and 5 were best of the five different models. 3,4,5,6,7. Agree?
Forgot the Marks II and VIII
Don’t forget the first gen. Continental. Definitely the forebear of the Mark II.
It's Mark III not Mark 111
Voiceover sure sounds like Chris Schenkel
Luxury muscle car of d '70s. ✌💖
Same music as Pontiac's 1968 dealer intro. Like it.
Pontiac had a very similar music score..
Fill it up; with LEADED.
Commercial
THE CAR(1977). 3:)
Yes, 1971 Mark III. I love that movie.
III
No trunk lid release?
Back when you could tell what brand luxury car it was from half a mile away, not like today's cookie cutter luxury sedans.

True to some extent but the reason I use the word Lincoln is so people can find the video because not many know them as just a Continental.

Damn, putting down everyone basically
Really

Mark 111? Mark III.
What was the worth of the car back then
6 to 7 thousand more if you kept adding options I could buy a house for that in 1969
In Chicago $ 6,200
8 gallons to the mile
WAT ACOOL CARR ILIKIT

Oh good, I was dying to know what you thought.
quality of the video as good as quality of the car!!
Why are you here..
Sad but true...
I had one.
Dream car to drive till it dissolved into a bucket of rust like most any American car of that era.
@@williamobrien2759 I guess that's why my 70 Mercury is in better condition than most of today's cars...idiot.
