I got my 1997 Mark at 15 1/2, about 2 years ago actually, and I'm still happy having a wicked awesome car while all my friends are jealous of my "old-person" Lincoln! You should try appreciating what you have before you mod it, and think about putting that money into the bank for college so...

1,869 MM is equal to about 74 inches. Not sure if that includes mirrors or not (does not specify) but worst case scenario is that the mirrors are NO MORE THAN 1 foot wide, so luckily you make it! :) Here is the site I got my info from...

I use 93 octane every time. My car would "knock" while trying to pull the car up larger hills when I tried to use 87, and when I switched I also saw better fuel economy by a small margin. Most of my driving with the Continental is in my small town. BTW I have a 2001.

Hey everybody, In my 2001 Continental, my rear windows will only work "sometimes." The rear-drivers side hasn't worked for almost a year now, and the passengers side rear window works occasionally. Because they seem to work occasionally, could this mean the window motors are going bad? I was...

Not completely sure here, but recently I had to replace my turpentine belt because of the same sounding grinding/squealing issues, so maybe you need to replace your AC Core...but this is just a guess...

The series you are referring to is the Town Car "Signature L." It is the top-of-the-line Town Car. It starts at $50,500. This Town Car is extended, I think about 8 inches, in the rear seat. These are the options available: Select a package or options. PACKAGES Rear Seat Amenities Package...

In 1985, Lincoln introduced a series of commercials which depicted parking attendants having trouble distinguishing Cadillacs from lesser Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs and even Chevrolets, with the question "Is that a Cadillac?" answered by the response "No, it's an Oldsmobile (or Buick, Chevy...

Riviera's are two doors. It is *supposedly* Buicks Mark series, so to say.

I was driving around town in my Mark VIII today when a pearly white Town Car pulled out in front of me. When we came to a stoplight, I saw that on the right hand side of the trunk it said in silver cursive writing "Cape & Islands Edition." I take this to mean Cape Cod and Islands. I live in...

That looks very nice. :)

Yes, the lines are cold and the compressor comes on. It must be the blend door. How hard is this to fix? Thanks.

My '97 Mark VIII's check engine light came on the other day and the code reader came up with this code: P0113 I read online that it is the Intake Air Temperature Circuit. I couldn't find much more info than this. I tried searching this site and looking in the tech articles but couldn't...

Just the AC does not work. Defroster works fine, heat is wicked hot. The mechanic said it could be the blend doors, but wasn't sure how hard of a job it is to get to. The compressor, dryer, and relay were replaced.

Hey everyone, I bought a 97 Mark VIII back in October (my first car), and so far it has been great. The only thing I had to replace was the air compressor (just died in June) and all the bags are great. But since I bought it, the air conditioner has not worked at all. I had my mechanic check...
