the black one, a Lincoln Continental Mark series, a 1968 - 1971 Mark III, the very small rear window and no opera window( as in Mark IV and subsequent models) -- Last edit: 2009-10-26 22:02:43 |

"Mark III" is an integral part of the name, not a trim. |

Listing should be changed to 1969. There is no such thing as a "1968" Mk III. All Mark III's built in 1968 were VIN-coded as 1969 models. (Much like the early so-called "1964 1/2 Mustangs". All were 1965's) |

That's not a Mark III; the wheel openings aren't nearly flared enough: /vehicle_2340-Lincoln-Continental-Mark-III-1970.html Also the location of the gas filler is much too high to be a Lincoln's, it's a Mercury. Because the antenna is on the back it's a 1970 model, and the trim along the top of the fenders and doors make it a 1970 Mercury Marquis Brougham Two Door Hardtop [65C] |

Interesting, Somename. I have some problems, though. The C panel emblem does not look quite right and there is no Marquis name on the fender behind the front wheel. -- Last edit: 2011-10-12 15:09:56 |

^You're right, and after further research I discovered that some 69 Marquis do have a rear antenna, instead of a front one Damn you manufacturer's and your mid-year model changes!!! -- Last edit: 2011-10-29 17:44:58 |
