    Great video with your usual outstanding selection of high quality photos. From beginning to end, the Mark series had two things in common… 4 tires and a trunk-centered spare tire or hump. 😉 Thanks and Happy New Year! 🎊

    The Mark II is easily one of the most stunningly beautiful American cars of all time. Every time I see one in person I’m blown away by the lines. Pictures don’t do it Justice.

    The Continental has always been a favorite of mine, albeit a guilty pleasure at times. I recall one automotive critic calling the Mark VI "thunderingly gauche," a sentiment I completely agreed with. Wonderful retrospective! Happy New Year!

    Very good! In tact excellent. You covered it all. I smiled watching the video. The only Mark I did not like was Mark VII(7). I hate that car. I was so glad when Mark VIII(8) arrived and I really liked that one. I liked that you talked about the different changes and the MK's of the 2000's. You know the MKT(Lincoln version of the Ford F150) ran in Mexico for a few years after they stopped selling it in the United States. There was the Navigator based Lincoln Blackwood too. I really enjoyed the video for the footage, the pictures and information. I liked the photo with the Cadillac Eldorado. The sad part is the Mark VII was too much like the Mercury Cougar and Ford Thunderbird. Thank you so much.

    Great series. I had the 1977 and 1978 Mark V was the most comfortable automobiles I’ve ever owned. I started to collect die cast cars but have had a lot of problems finding especially the 1978 Mark. I now have somewhere over 100 mostly

    This is a very good review of the Mark series. I've owned several different Marks & enjoyed each one!! I was sad when they went away. Now I drive a 18 Continental. 👍👍🙂

    Good history lesson HCG! I had a couple new Mk Viis and later a Mk Viii. In my opinion the Mk Viis were a lot more fun to drive. Thank you.

    I’ve owned a 5,7 and 8LSC. My son totaled the LSC, and I was crushed (pun intended). It was in the exact color you featured(Toreador Red Pearl metallic). Somehow , I always remembered that paint’s name. Lol!

    Do you have a video on the TARUS and SHO?

    I'm an optimist. People grumble mightily that a Chevy looks like a Ford looks like a Mercedes--all of which are white grey, black or for people who liked to crayon outside the lines, a soft metallic moss color.

    A vehicle emissions air pump, is never a "smog pump" they pump air into the exhaust system to help burn spent unburned fuel. They never pump exhaust gases. Please reply. Dave...
