Lincoln Mark IV: Not just another... This car is tuned up, oil changed, transmission change and Certified ready by Ford Mechanic! All questions welcomed... :)The Ford Motor Company, luxury division introduced Lincoln Mark IV in 1976. In the United States and rest of North America, this vehicle was actually sold and marketed from 1972 until 1976. It replaced the Mark III although it was already successful at that time. Later on Mark V replaced IV, with some of these specifications duplicated. For example, the Lincoln Mark IV and Ford Thunderbird were very much alike. Even the frame platform shared by the two vehicles was not know by many.By taking a close look at the style and design of Lincoln Mark IV, one could see most of the motifs and angles are just like Lincoln Mark III. This included tall Rolls Royce style grill, and fashionable long hood, with short deck style. Then the covered headlamps and the spare tire hump found on trunk, and let's not forget the taller and knife-edged fender line? As per the grille, the Lincoln Mark IV's version was much taller. Allowing for these kind of adjustments, with close fitting bumpers that were dipped. The spare tire hump was still more rounded, and from thereon, the lines led further down the vehicle.As per measurements, though, the Lincoln Mark IV came out to be longer and wider. The angles were slightly softened out and made more rounded. The wheel openings were made to be symmetrical front to rear like in the Oldsmobile Tornado inspired style that was popular that time. The Lincoln Mark IValso held a vinyl roof.The power of this machine and vehicle comes from a 460 cubic inch or 7.2 liter Ford 385 series V8 engine. On its introduction, it has been that this vehicle could prove to produce and create some 212 units of horsepower or 158kW. To assist this engine, the Lincoln Mark IV also came with a C6 3 speed auto transmission system.In 1976, Lincoln took a gamble and made the Designer Series. When it was introduced that year, the Lincoln Mark IVs under this series were its colors, trims, and interior choices designed by worldwide fashion designers. Each of designers signed at the opera window, plus name on gold plated plaque was positioned on instrument panels if ordered by customer. There were four designers that time that took the time to show off their craft's using Lincoln Mark IV.
