The Lincoln Continental Mark V was a large coupe sold by Lincoln, the Ford Motor Company's luxury division, between the 1977 and 1979 model years. The Mark V was a restyled Mark IV, replacing that car's more rounded styling with a more squared-off, sharp-edged detailing. "Miles-To-Empty" feature "Miles-To-Empty" indicator. This was a small rectangular display, located to the right of the steering wheel, which sat in place of the standard equipment "low fuel" warning lamp. The amber LED readout would indicate the estimated distance (in miles) available before reaching empty based on remaining fuel, fuel consumption, and driving habits. This system was a precursor to the electronic digital full-instrumentation which would be available on the 1980 Continental Mark VI. The system represents a first for an American automobile manufacturer, as it is the first dashboard LED display of an automobile's mechanical function.[3] Manufacturer Ford Motor Company Production 1977–1979 Assembly Wixom, Michigan, USA Predecessor Lincoln Continental Mark IV Successor Lincoln Continental Mark VI Class Personal luxury car Body style 2-door coupe Layout FR layout Engine 400 cu in (6.6 L) Cleveland V8 460 cu in (7.5 L) 385 V8 Transmission 3-speed C6 automatic Wheelbase 120.5 in (3061 mm)[1] Length 230.3 in (5850 mm) Width 79.5 in (2019 mm) Height 53.1 in (1349 mm) Curb weight 4,508 lb (2,045 kg)
