Does anyone know if Cannon's ice blue,with dark blue top and red interior was a signature series Mark IV ? I'd like to find some pictures of one of those cars.
Whisper quiet babes -- Rolls Royce among other manufactures were outraged by that perfection; Cadillac and Buick, too, were amazed that Lincoln had pulled that off, clearly staking new and expanded claims in their august markets ... more so than ever! To think, too ... all those LOUD Chevrolet and European cars, mated to what invariably seem fittingly tacky or haughty owners and aficionados ... hideously overrated engineering messes, with mind-numbing idle noise & social status pollution.
Thanks so much for posting this. This takes me back to my childhood watching Cannon tooling around in his latest Mark (Ford always updated his vehicle to the current model year throughout the series' run). It was a more innocent time, when bigger was better, and when giant Lincolns and Cadillacs ruled the highways...
In 1972 the front bumper could be had with the cross bar or without it was an option, part of the appearance group. also the opera windows were optional $63.50 They became standard in 1973 along with the (ugly) mandated 2.5 MPH impact absorbing bumpers. 1972 Mark IV MSRP $8300
I just saw your post in the 72 Lincoln Mark vid forum. You mentioned the cross bar on the front bumper. This year the only year I think the open grill look was available. It was the best sure did emphasize the grill. I didn't know the opera windows were an option. They could have left them off for my money. Made the roof look to busy Later in the 70's I think the Blass version Blue and White The windows were blocked out. I thought it really improved the roof line
The 1972 Mark 4 had very nice front grill and nose as the years went on to 1980 they just lost the plot on styling. Except for the Interiors which just out classed cadillac.
Interesting that you have chosen the theme from Cannon, as I have tried to get hold on DVDs with these episodes, to enjoy him riding around in his 73 model.

I used to own a '72 Mark IV, the best looking Lincoln ever made, it was all black inside and out and loaded. I miss that beast.

The lincoln in "canon" was actually william conrad's own vehicle. the shows producers thought it was just right for the character

My dad had one of these in blue.
wasn't it around this time , that lincoln put out the designer series Continetal?
I think there was a Bill Blass version, and Halston version, and another one if I recall

you must be talking about another Lincoln model as the IV was only a two door breed.

Note this is an early 1972 model, before they put the bumper rail that covered a portion of the grill..very rare and the best of the Mark 4's
