1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Designer Series
Newsweek
states that the Lincoln Continental Mark IV Designer Series was created to present a model that can be personalized to the needs of high-end customers.Lincoln even collaborated with fashion houses such as Givenchy, Cartier, Pucci, and Bill Blass to create unique designer logos in a color that the automaker placed on each opera window. The owner's name and the designer's logo appeared on a plaque placed on the instrument panel.
Initially, the Continental Series ran on a 16-valve V8 engine that produced 365 horsepower. However, by 1976, the automaker had reduced the output to 212 hp to comply with the new emission rules enacted in the country. The 1976 model ran on a Ford C6 three-speed auto transmission and could reach 120 mph.
The leading competitors to the Lincoln Continental Mark IV Designer Series at the time included the Cadillac Eldorado, which produced 234 hp and reached 117 mph, and the Rolls Royce Corniche, with an engine that produced 236 hp and reached 120 mph.
Rolls-Royce was the most expensive of the three and had more personalized features.
