http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Continental_Mark_V#Cartier
Very solid, straight, low mileage classic Lincoln.The rear has a heavy duty tow hitch with a plug for brake and directional lights as well as adjustable air shocks.The power moonroof, power quarter windows, main windows, power seats and headlight doors work properly. The floors and trunk are solid The color matched aluminum turbine style wheels will be reinstalled before pickup. The brakes feel a bit low, might need a master cylinder and the gas tank will drip iffilledfully. The a/c compressor turns on and there is still some old style freon in the system, it blows cool. Recent work includes radiator, valve cover gaskets, water pump and alternator.Otherwise the body is solid, underside clean, floors, frame and trunk Ziebart protected when new. I purchased it from the original owner. He redid the vinyl top and replaced the oval windows with "Diamond Jubilee" glass (he liked the diamond chips ha). I believe I have the original glass in a collection of parts that came with the car. All service records since nearly new. Headlight doors stay shut when car is parked for at least 6-7 days. Interior is gorgeous, perfectly clean, no rips, stains or worn spots. All power features work properly; all power seat positions on both sides, power quarter windows and power moonroof with sliding shade. No leaks from moonroof at all, car smells clean inside.
