Bare with me, I'm new to Lincolns. I've always been a Chevy owner
Can anyone answer a question about a 1968 Continental? I had to make a high speed run to the Hot Rod shop (only place you can buy the steal belted hoses.)
When I drove into the parking lot, there was behemouth coup version of my Mark VII, but with late 60s - early 70s embellishments. It was metallic gray with black vinyl top.
But it was not a Mark. It had Continental insignas. According to the tail lights, it was a 1968 Continental.
What caught my eye was the Mark VII style trunk lid that looks like a tire inside.
Does anyone know the story? Why did that Continental have a Mark look to it?
What is the history behind the Mark? Why is it called a Mark?
