Continental Mark Series was one of Ford great success. Lincoln Motor Company was purchased by Ford Motor Co. in 1922. The Continental was first introduced as a customized car in 1939 for Edsel Ford. In 1940, it was offered as a limited production model. It came back in the early 1950's as a separate division but was not successful. It was put under Lincoln-Mercury for 1958 and afterwards. The new series in 1958 was named Mark III, in 1959, Mark IV and in the 1960's Mark V. The Mark designation was revived in 1968 as a 1969 model as Mark III and lasted until 1972. It was a success. The vehicle came equipped with a standard vinyl roof (with optional sunroof), a sure track breaking system that prevented wheel lock even on ice and snow, upgraded interior walnut wood, and a Cartier electric chronometer.
