The Lincoln Continental Mark V is a personal luxury coupe that was sold by the Lincoln-Mercury division from the 1977 to the 1979 model years. Derived from the same chassis of its Mark IV predecessor, the Mark V was the largest member of the Lincoln Mark series ever produced. With an average of 75,000 units sold in each year available, the Mark V is also the best-selling version of the entire Mark series.

1978: $12,099 (72,602 sold)

Mechanically, a wider radiator was fitted for better engine cooling, a modified transmission torque converter, and a freer flowing exhaust. The electrical system gained a maintenance-free battery and an electronic voltage regulator. A slightly smaller gas tank was fitted. The base 400-cubic-inch engine was detuned to 166 horsepower.

While the two choices of aluminum alloy wheels were unchanged from 1977, base model wheel covers were redesigned from a flat disc appearance to a more three-dimensional shape. Wire wheel hubcaps were introduced for the first time on all Lincolns as a $233 option this year. (See above slide show for pictures).

A $900 “carriage roof” option which simulated the look of a convertible top was introduced for ’78. Made out of vinyl textured to resemble canvas type grain, it covered the whole roof and featured fake top braces and stitching. It was quite convincing.

A digital Miles To Empty gauge ($125) was a new option that calculated the number of miles a driver could theoretically travel before running out of gas. While computer controlled fuel injection was never an option on Mark Vs, a rudimentary on-board system used engine vacuum pressure instead to guestimate fuel economy, then multiplied that by the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. While crude compared to today’s standards, it was the first use of a digital gauge showing a mechanical function in any production car.

A limited production Mark V “Diamond Jubilee” Edition was offered to celebrate Ford Motor Company’s 75th anniversary. Available in light blue and gold metallic colors, Diamond Jubilees cost $8,000 extra and featured every available option. Unique body color matching of the turbine spoke alloy wheels was a feature unique to Diamond Jubilee editions. 5,159 were produced. Note: similar Diamond Jubilee packages were offered on the 1978 Ford Thunderbird.

The optional C.B. radio ($321) was redesigned to feature a digital display for channel numbers.

Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners

Fri, Dec 2 2016

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:
