Lincoln Continental

Lincoln Continental is a name that has been used several times by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company for a line of luxury cars.

Lincoln Continental Mark III

Lincoln resuscitated the Mark designation in 1968 for the 1969 model year, bizarrely restarting at Lincoln Continental Mark III rather than at Mark VI -- as if the 1958-60 cars had never existed. The first of a new Lincoln Continental Mark series, the Mark III was based on the four-door Ford Thunderbird chassis and was a two-door hardtop coupe competing at the top end of the personal luxury car segment, directly against the Cadillac Eldorado. Styling-wise, it carried over many cues from the 1961-69 Continental, and it was a huge sales success. A Lincoln Continental Mark IV model followed in 1972, and the Mark Series was built until the 1990s.
