@USA#1: The Mark III design is classically elegant while the Mark IV looked best in Bugazzi get-up by Barris.

Steve McGarrett drove a Mercury, not a Lincoln. [Mea Culpa! A major short-circuit on my part. The entire first season of Hawaii-Five-O on DVD is in the Clunkbucket collection. - ed]

Those cars are freakin sweet! So is the 72 Mark 4 .
Great buy for 5 hun! Lincoln should still
build them like this today! The 72 Eldorado
also had the highbeam sensor.

My old boss has one of these with ~8k miles. No foolin', he bought it new. It gets driven around the neighborhood once a month, then wiped down with a diaper. Kind of a shame, IMHO. 'Course, he does have a few other nice cars, like this one

Wait, it flashes your lights at people running with their high beams on or turns off yours if it senses oncoming cars? [As far as we know - automatically switches to low beams when it senses oncoming lights. The lasers function may have been reserved for the military versions - Ed]
