Bleach Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'm still on the look out for the ultra rare limited production "de Sade" edition. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmac Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 If this was a Colony Park wagon I would think awfully hard about it. I love these really big swan song cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Do any of you recall what years they offered the "variable venturi" carbs? They were dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Do any of you know whether those rims are rims or hubcaps? I always see them on Lincoln Marks and love them, but I can not remember if they are "mag" wheels or just a fancy hubcap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a popular option on Continental Mark IV & V plus other full-size Lincolns and Mercurys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When polished with aluminum polish, they are much brighter than shown on this 1978 Mercury. My own 1978 Lincoln Mark V has that type of wheel. They might be identical except for the center piece: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
