Free and clear of major blemishes as well as mechanically sound, this RARE and beautiful Convertible 1971 Lincoln Continental is a true dream of a car. There are times when the American automobile industry swings for the fences and hits a home run. There are times, however, that the industry misses out on a tremendous opportunity, and such is the case with this 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III convertible. Introduced in April 1968 as an early 1969 model, the Mark III was Ford Motor Companys answer to Cadillacs El DoradoGMs top-of-the-line entry in the personal luxury car marketplace. Ford competed well with the lower GM marquees with the Thunderbird but had no vehicle to match up against the Cadillac until Ford vice president Lee Iacocca tasked his design team to put a Rolls Royce grill on a Thunderbird for the newest Lincoln model In reality the designers did far more than that and, while utilizing the Thunderbird chassis, built a new car atop the platform. The goal, as far as Ford executives were concerned, was to outsell their Cadillac competitor and the first-year offering (1968) did just that by several thousand units. Ford named the car the Mark III, homage to the short-lived Continental Mark II of 1956 and 1957. The new design featured vacuum-operated hidden headlights keyed to the body color, a radiator-styled grill (think Rolls Royce) and a trunk lid that appeared to hold a spare tire (but actually did not). By using existing parts and pieces from other models, the Mark III was developed at a relatively low cost for a brand-new model of vehicle. Previously, the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company had been operating at a loss but sales of the Mark III turned the division into a profit center and were later credited by Iacocca to have been one of his greatest career achievements. For the man who spearheaded the launch of the Ford Mustang and introduced the Chrysler K-car that saved that company from bankruptcy, thats an Impressive feat The Mark III was offered only as a two-door hardtop, just as the namesake Mark II was just over a decade earlier. Power was derived from Fords 460 cubic inch engine backed by the proven and dependable C6 three-speed automatic transmission. A variety of gear ratios were available for the trusty nine-inch rear differential. Standard equipment included leather interior, power split bench front seats, power steering, power brakes and power windows. A host of factory options were available (air conditioning was not standard equipment until the 1971 model year) including cruise control, power door locks, automatic dimming headlights and a variety of stereo systems. While a vinyl roof was technically an option, because of the additional bodywork needed to smooth the two-piece roofline on solid-roof models very few cars were manufactured without the vinyl roof treatment. The Mark III held its own against the Cadillac during the three years the model was built (the final year being 1971) but just like with the predecessor Mark II, there was something missing for a particular segment of the motoring public. There was not a convertible option for the Lincoln Mark III, and it was up to private, independent coachbuilders to provide such a vehicle. This 1971 Lincoln Mark III is an excellent example of that This car was converted to a convertible several years ago by a
