Lincoln Mark IV: More Than Just a Car

The Lincoln Mark IV, introduced by Ford Motor Company's luxury division, isn't merely an update of its predecessor, the Mark III. With its design and features, it stands out as a distinctive model, maintaining classic elements while integrating new touches.Article Body
The Lincoln Mark IV, unveiled by Ford's luxury division, was marketed across North America from 1972 to 1976. It succeeded the successful Mark III and was later replaced by the Mark V. Sharing much of its structure with the Ford Thunderbird, the Mark IV was noted for its noteworthy blend of style and performance.
In terms of design, the Lincoln Mark IV shares several key motifs with the Mark III, such as the tall, Rolls Royce-inspired grille, the long hood and short deck style, covered headlamps, the distinct spare tire hump on the trunk, and the sharp fender lines. However, the grille on the Mark IV was taller, requiring a dip in the bumpers to fit. The spare tire hump transitioned to a more rounded shape with lines extending further along the body. Overall, the Mark IV is longer, wider, and features softened, rounded angles with symmetrical wheel openings at the front and rear, reminiscent of the Oldsmobile Toronado style popular at the time. Additionally, the Mark IV sported a vinyl roof.
Powering the Mark IV was a robust 460 cubic-inch (7.2 liter) Ford 385-series V8 engine, capable of producing 212 horsepower (158 kW). This powerhouse was coupled with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth performance.
A notable highlight in 1976 was the introduction of the Designer Series. This daring move by Lincoln showcased models with exclusive colors, trims, and interiors crafted by renowned fashion designers. Each designer's signature adorned the opera window, with their names engraved on a gold-plated plaque on the instrument panel. The series featured editions by Bill Blass, Cartier, Givenchy, and Pucci, adding a personalized and luxurious touch to the classic Mark IV aesthetic.
