Continental Mark IV

After World War II, Ford’s premium brand, Lincoln, offered exclusively full-size cars. The model name had been “Continental” since 1958. In addition, starting in 1969, there was the Continental Mark Series—a line with confusing names—consisting of technically related but stylistically distinct and high-priced coupes.

1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

The fourth-generation Lincoln Continental, introduced in 1961 and based on an award-winning design by Elwood Engel, was produced until 1969; over the years, the car underwent numerous stylistic changes. 1

The Lincoln Continental Mark IV offered here was manufactured in July 1975 as a 1976 model and delivered to Philadelphia. The vehicle registration document reveals that this massive coupe was likely imported into Switzerland very early on—or even as a new car—and presumably underwent its first roadworthiness inspection (MFK) in 1977 or 1978—which would explain the incorrectly registered type approval certificate listing it as a Continental Mark V (introduced in 1977). This elegant Lincoln, with its 216 PS 7.6-liter V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning, power seats, and power windows—was ordered in “Lipstick Red” with an optional Landau vinyl roof and white leather with red accent stripes.

The history of this Continental is unknown until it was acquired in 2019 by an enthusiast in the Canton of Zurich, who sold it to the current owner in 2025—with just under 1,000 km more on the odometer—due to his advancing age. The Lincoln was recently extensively restored and is consequently in good to very good condition; the engine and transmission are in perfect working order, the body is in excellent condition, and the well-maintained, original interior suggests that the 78,900 km shown on the odometer corresponds to the actual mileage. The last vehicle inspection (MFK) as a classic car took place in August 2026.
