Absolutely stunning, I remember these when they were new. The first time I saw one in person was when I was walking home from school and this lady was backing out of a driveway in a new white/white/white MK4 going pretty fast and would've ran me down had I not stopped to let her pass in front of me, then she took off like a bat outta hell. I'm 66yo now and I'm sure the lady and the car are long gone, but for some reason I've always remembered that first encounter with a MK4. Seeing this beautiful car is a stark reminder of how far we've fallen.
My Mark III had the hood release under the bumper like that and I am surprised they still did that for this model. The 1963 Lincoln Continental had the hood release inside on the left side of the steering wheel.
Yeah... The Opera Window. Which happened to be an option in '72 and '73, but most people ordered them apparently. But if you've ever seen a Mk IV without them AND no vinyl top, you'd wonder why they were so popular... Without them, those cars truly look sinister!
My Dad was going to buy me a white Cartier edition , here in the uk for £1200 in the early 80's. He changed his mind at the last minute. Gutted even 40 years later 😢
You did not mention the center bar going across the grille is removable to give the front of Car a bolder look but then the grille will be unprotected so not advisable but a judgement call that is a catch 22 like when you ride your Harley To wear or not wear a Helmet
Hermoso auto, es como la versión Lite del mark v Hermoso color lastima que ese color se ensucia mucho y hasta con una partícula de polvo ya se ve sucio cualquier auto negro
@QuiseKirilenko NO! ALL THE CARS THEN WERE DAILY TRANSPORTATION. THESE WERE DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE'S CARS. 9 - 10 THOUSAND WAS A TON OF MONEY IN 1972, AND THESE CARS JUST WERE NOT WORTH IT.
Sorry - but Mark 4 was a very bad design. A 'grim duc' compere to the others. Awful whit that high back rooftop. Destroy absolute all of the elegance the others have. Tragic.
Bullshit.It's beautyful...❤❤😊 I got one here in Norway and wherever I go,people love my car...so do I.And you see all the comentary...YOU think it's ugly and that's ok...
The 72 mark IV is my dream car however the bar across the grill has to definitely got to go it ruins the look of what the 72 mark was intended to look with a tall beautiful grill . The bumpers design was intended to be with out that stupid looking bar....
I agree - I think the '72 is peak MK4 because it doesn't have the 5mph bumper, which totally ruined the front end in '73. I know the bar was intended to protect the grill area, but it really looked much better without it and the one I would seek out if I were to ever win the lottery. I also believe the '71 MK3 is peak MK3 because of the high back seats and real wood on the dash.

That's a beautiful Mark IV. 72 is the model to have for sure
Absolutely gorgeous. I hope it went to the right home.
Wow what a looker. Great shape. 72 is peak year for the MKIV
That 72 was the best design ever! And with waterfall grill!

My father had this exact year same color and it was a dream to ride in. The carpet was so plush...
My second most favorite automobile design of all time behind the 1968 Eldorado.
WOWSERS!!! THIS MODEL BEATS THEM ALL BY A CENTURY!!! I would rather drive this car than any modern car today.
Thank you for this video.
I'm 64,living in Norway and I got one..❤❤❤😊 and I love my car.
By 1974 that car was $10,000 brand new. A Lincoln Continental four-door sedan was just under $9,000 in 1972.
Today’s money it would be $100K yeah big money back then
Inflation after Nixon closed the gold window on Aug. 15th, 1971
This Car Is Pretty Asf.. 😍😍😍😍
NOTHING beats a CLASSIC LINCOLN.
Style wise there has been, nowt like it : before or since.
Super Dope !!!!

I believe the "port Window" is referred to as an Opera window.
Yeah... The Opera Window.
Which happened to be an option in '72 and '73, but most people ordered them apparently.

This Car Had to Spend most it's Life in Someone's Living room. It's So So Beautiful Dream Car ✨💖🤠👍👍💖✨

Best year for the mark series, that and 1998,
I had that exact car only one level down with cloth seats. It was a car that would go from coast to coast like the wind...
I actually prefer the cloth over leather - I've seen very, very few with cloth though so yours is fairly rare.
Wish I would have seen this sooner. Looking for one exactly like it to buy.
I wish the antenna would go down when you turn the radio off and up when you turn the radio on
I have lost antenna’s in car washes
69 MK III hubcaps are a nice upgrade
How much did this car sell for and when?
I have the exact same car and it’s amazing. It doesn’t have the original radio tho
very-very nice, did it sell yet
Hi I went tom your website, couldnt see it. Has it been sold?
Gorgeous car, nice presentation, BTW!
This does not look at all like a 50 yr old car! Could put back in the showroom!
I always felt this era Mark IV was a direct rip off of the '67 - '70 Eldorado. it's why as a previous owner of a '68 Eldo, I always liked it. ;)
BBBAAADDD OOOMMMGGG
We blame gas prices but CAFE standards killed land yachts too
Hermoso auto, es como la versión Lite del mark v
Hermoso color lastima que ese color se ensucia mucho y hasta con una partícula de polvo ya se ve sucio cualquier auto negro
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌆🏆🌆🏆🌆🏆🌆🤭☺️
There was no lincoln in 1972 that had any designation of MK. That started decades later. MK Z
Stop saying beautiful we can make our own decisions salesman
You’re right, it’s gorgeous.
@@calumpasqua9619 sales sales sales just won’t sell itself brah 😑
WEAK WEAK WEAK ENGINE. YOU HAD TO BE AN ARAB TO DRIVE IT. BEAUTIFUL,
BUT A SLUG. IF YOU PUSHED THESE CARS ON A TRIP, THEY WERE A MAJOR LETDOWN.
It’s A Cruiser

The grill bar can be removed easily, without evidence.
@davidbolt5113 doesn't tlit leave holes though?
