Lincoln 1975-1979 based on the shape of the steering wheel.

...but it could also be a Ford pickup truck.  Look it up....  many Lincoln owners NEVER knew their steering wheels were "commonized"  and thus, used across the board within the FoMoCo.

(NOTE: Because of the Word Press host, this site continues to glitch. Therefore, I obviously can't guarantee my post will appear, at any rate....

Yes Chav, that's clearly a "Lincoln"  steering wheel.  My point, however, is that in the late 1970's Ford literally used the same steering wheel on "everything."  The design was "commonized,"  a fact NOT advertised nor barely mentioned.  🙄 🙄 😯 😯 😯 

Here are pics of late '70 FoMoCo products: F150, Bronco, Ford LTD, Mercury, and of course Lincoln.

Had no idea so many FoMoCo vehicles shared the Lincoln steering wheel. The subject car here is obviously a Lincoln for all the reasons Chav brings up but Chris I remember the Lincoln pickup too. Mostly I saw them as Lincoln Platinum's and they were gorgeous!!

Close - it’s actually a ‘74 Chevy Impala “Spirit of America”…
