Mark VIII

The Mark VIIIs are smooth yet quite fast off the line. I love the roomy front interior. The back seating is non-existant. I use it for storage. Gass mileage I get is 24 city 27 highway even in winter months. Excellent highway driving. Came with 10CD changer and JBL stereo which is nice but not great. Handling is very ggod for such a large car. I'd opt for a 98 instead of 97. The 4.6 Ford v8 will run forever under good maintenance.

Hot Rod Luxury Lincoln

This car is just a blast to drive. The handling is amazing and the power never stops coming. This car has muscle-car performance and hanling while remaining composed, quiet, comfortable, and luxurious in the interior. With the HID headlamps, side turning lamps, puddle lamps, and neon tail lamps, and optional chrome wheels the exterior looks as good as the interior. The interior is really set off by the leather sport bucket seats. The car has a ton of neat features that you'd only expect to find in a Mercedes.

It just came out of the factory

The title says it all. The car is 27 years old, and one could put it back on the showroom floor without shame. It was a one=owner car and the only thing amiss about the entire vehicle was the remote gas filler cover would not release the cover from the driver's door release button. Fortunately, there is a lanyard release in the trunk that works just fine. Even the air ride suspension was operating as it should, when so many have long since given up the ghost and been replaced with conventional shocks. I could not have been more pleased with my purchase!

Fabulous Car! Probably the last Lincoln with any "pizazz". I would love to pick up a second one , a 98 CE, as a second car!
