Just got my Mark IV; it truly is rolling art. The car is very quiet. The ride is just like floating down the road, and I love the smiles and comments I get. I will keep this car forever.

I agree, I have two 1976 Lincoln Mark IVs. I LOVE them both. When I'm in my 5 car garage, I find myself singing "I've got two lovers" by Mary Wells. I'm singing to my Mark IVs, and sitting next to one of them is one of 2 of our Ferraris. Also have a 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet and our 1936 Auburn speedster. The garage will hold 7 cars. I will keep my Mark IVs forever. I do love the Mark IV the best out of the Mark series. But a 1956 Mark II convertible by Hess & Eisenhardt, the blue one in Farmington, Michigan, would be a joy to own.
Sincerely, LINCOLN LADY.

Dear Sir,
I came across your view of the Lincoln Mark IV. I also have one and love the car a lot. I had some work done to make it purr, but now I'm experiencing an oil leak, and I can't find a shop that knows how to fix it. Many shops give me wrong answers—this or that—but none of them provide a true diagnosis. No one has ever said they could fix it.
I would like to leave my car with a professional who will check it out. No-one mentioned that they could put the car on a lift and see what's leaking in just a few minutes. I'm located in South Florida, Boca Raton. What do you think I should do? Your advice will be helpful.
Thanks, James

On a road full of economical, egg-shaped, imaginative and most often disappointing examples of modern automotive engineering, the Marks of 1968-1979 are true starships. Even the most opulent BMW or the most expensive Mercedes cannot even hint at the curb appeal of these truly beautiful works of automotive art.
Hold on to your example, they will explode in value soon. The classic car world is just now starting to re-evaluate cars from the 70's and when the stumble blindly upon the Mark's III, IV, and V, they will be the most sought after of all vehicles from that era. Trust me. I own 7 of them. ;)
