Mark VIII for me. Ill never forget when I first saw one, I was intrigued, especially with the bizarre HID headlights, the likes of which were the first I ever saw. The space-age interior (for its time) had me drooling. LOL That was the FIRST Lincoln I ever thought I could own. I do like some of their new models, though.

Definitely, 1979 . . . The Mark II, especially the classic Convertible!

yeah same when I saw a tripple white one in showrooms it was pretty amazing inside and out. it was also one of the first cars to use the all-aluminum DOHC 32V 4.6 which later found it's way into the cobra mustangs

by todays standards the Mark VIII is not a heavy car. A new Infiniti G37 awd outweighs a Mark VIII despite being about 2 feet shorter. The Dodge Challenger R/T outweighs a Mark VIII by almost 400 pounds, and the new Chevy Camaro outweighs the Mark by 100 pounds.

The 1977-79 Mark V is my favorite, well actually I would stop at 1978 cause that is the last year for the desirable 460. These cars still have have the best drivetrain and have 4 wheel disc brakes with hydroboost and other improvements over the earlier Marks and the newer Marks just can't compare to these.

I pick the Mark III. Around '68-'71.
Those were very big, had the 460-cu-in engine with around 500 lbs-ft of torque, had soft seats and rode very smooth like a Lincoln should.

Mark III. I'd like to have one again. Eh, probably not. Ha!

I'd agree with this

The only one I've had, or driven, is my 1977 Mark V. It was an ugly yellow but... what a cruiser! 460, 4-bbl, and a hood that arrived 5 minutes before the driver. I had to sell it before it rusted away. I tried everything, but the rust won.
