I was a valet right out of high school and used to drive Continentals, Mercedes, Jaguars, Cadillacs, Rolls Royce, etc. on a daily basis. While they all had their own individual pluses and minuses, without a doubt, the Continental had a ride unequaled by any of them! The only other car quieter inside was the Rolls. I miss the old Land Yachts!

I like the pillowed cushion design seats. They look really comfortable.

I owned a Lincoln Mark VI Signature Series Coupe & that car was all about comfort & class. People always stopped to tell me what a beautiful car it was, and this was in the late 90's! Everyone who rode in it didn't want to get out, the seats were the softest & biggest Lazy Boy type seats available -pure heaven. The engine could not be killed, and it drove like a dream. Yes, it needed repairs like any car of the 80's did, but it was solid & reliable. Sadly it was stolen and I still miss it. =(

True American Luxury; These cars were quite technically advanced for their time. Thanks for sharing. :-)

I feel like the same people who produced the series Dynasty produced this video.

I had one of these. A most pleasant, enjoyable car to drive. Essentially a re-skinned top of the line 79 LTD / Marquis.

elegant, subtle yet gorgeous styling, a shear picture of everything everyone wants in a luxury car. Lincoln. What a luxury car should be.

I remeber my cousin had a 1980 Town car, he bought it in 1983, i was amazed at the technology with the pushbutton keyless entry, the digital instrument cluster and the stereo system. His was White/White leather with the Lincoln factory turbine wheels, man that car was really nice, i was sold as a Lincoln fanatic after that, i just thought they were so close in competition with Cadillac or in my opinion, just a step better in refinements than Caddy.

The Bill Blass edition definitely looks the best out of the rest of the designer series.

Can't but agree with ya! Older American cars are so much better than new ones either way, they just have a lot more character. But so could be said with a lot of car companies, including Benz. Their older cars have so much more character than their new, because they weren't agressive looking, or anything like that. Was just a relaxed ride with a relaxed design, without sudden curves and angles.

I was impressed when they came out with the electronic key pad you could use to unlock the doors or open the trunk. I think that option came out in about 1982? For the time, it was state of the art. Loved these cars.

I had lots of seat time in these. My dad had an black80 Continental Towncar sedan like the one in this video. It had the 351 variable venturi carbureted v8- sounded so good! had a muted, polished rich sound, so luxurious. It also had the softest ride of all the Lincolns I've ever rode in- buggy coach style. He also owned a moonlight blue metallic 84 Towncar, so classy with the moonroof and 1/2 coach vinyl roof. oh, and it had the spoke Lincoln wheels (not hubcaps!) 302 central fuel inj.

The music playing during the showing of the Mark VI sounds like the theme to Charlies Angels or Dynasty.

My mother used to have a 1980 Town Car. It had a 351-W with the variable-venture 2bbl carb. It was a fantastic car! I loved driving it. It also had a factory original CB radio option.
