Glove soft leather trim is used throughout including the entire dash pad, seat moldings, armrests and entire console. Overhead is a power sunroof with sunshade. The carpet is thick and plush. The visors have lighted vanity mirrors and I just discovered something really cool. Drivers visor has a garage door button and there's a sticker from Ford on the mirror with the codes. Guess what I found in the trunk still in the box? The digital controller that goes in the garage with a Lincoln logo still on it. I've never seen one. Of course the car is also full of all the power accessories, climate control, cruise, tilt, lumbar etc. Has premium Quadraphonic stereo with power antenna. Everything appears to be working including the Cartier clock. Wood appliques are used on doors, dash and seat backs. Also has map pockets on the backs of the seats. It is absolutely like brand new in this car. I'm literally sitting in here trying to find a flaw and I can't. The rear seat belts are still wrapped in plastic, ashtrays are shiny and believe me or not it smells new. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has original 400 motor. It is just as it left the factory. Tags, stickers, ink stamps are still in place. Never monkeyed with, spray painted etc. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is fully lined in the same plush carpet that's in the interior.

The latches are still shiny, has factory ink stamp, weatherstrip still like new. UNDERSIDE: Very original. Not messed with, not spray painted over. Absolutely no rot, yes it has surface haze of rust on some suspension, bolts, brackets etc. The floors are pristine. It still has some assembly line paint markings and tags. Original exhaust with Ford muffler. Has C-6 automatic trans and disc brakes at all four wheels. This was the Flagship of the eloquent Lincoln line up. The Mark V is very desirable because of it's style and size. Last year for "full" size. This one right here is the ultimate. I'm going to go take a nap in the front seat now.
