I couldn't vote Mark II fast enough. So elegant and refined, especially for its era. One of my favorites, and I've been lucky to see a few.

Edit: They're all fabulous.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Nice choice today. My favourite here is the original configuration with the Mark II close behind.

Had to go with the Mark III.  Mom's first Lincoln.  She went on to have a 5 & 6 as they traded up.  I started with 2 different Mark VII's, one a base model and then moved up to a Bill Blass Signature.

For collectability the Mark I and II. For pure drivability the Mark III with it's stump pulling 460 CI engine.

They were are great in their prime. 

I. Just stately. A little short in the backside though.

II. Just beautifully designed. 

III. Keeping up the Lincoln perfection

I love them all. I'm taking them in reverse order. I've always had a soft spot for those Mark III's.😊
