we had this edition as a kid and it was a massive beast and I loved it, truly an end of an era, but I love tacky big cars driving them not as much but these machines were one of a kind.

Total production of all 1979 Continental Mark Vs was 75,939 with the Bill Blass Edition having a production run of 6720. List price of that edition with the Carriage Roof was $2775. Most people think that edition only came with the Carriage Roof but a full white vinyl roof with opera window was also available with a price of $1809. This example has Midnight Blue leather but White leather with blue carpeting and instrument panel was also available. The 460 V-8 was discontinued for 1979 and the 400 V-8 was detuned to only 159 Horsepower. The rarest special edition Mark Vs for 1979 were the Pucci Edition with a production of 763, the Collector's Series in Diamond Blue with only 197, and the Collector's Series in Silver with only 125. Midnight Blue and White were much more common exterior colors for the 1979 Collector's Series. Values for the 1979 Mark V are typically lower than for a 1977 or 1978 Mark V...mostly because the more desirable 460 V-8 had been discontinued. The Mark V offered a staggering variety in exterior color, upholstery, and trim. Production over the three model years was 228,862 so many still remain. My personal favorite Mark V is the Dove Gray 1977 Cartier Edition. The actor John Houseman introduced a white 1977 Mark V in a television commercial. The actor Tom Selleck was in print ads for the 1979 Mark V Collector's Series in Midnight Blue. Cartier (the CEO), Givenchy, Pucci, and Bill Blass (the men themselves) also appeared in print ads and television commercials....each receiving a royalty per vehicle sold. Opera windows with the script of those designers are expensive to replace as is the automatic headlight dimmer.

Car insurance is probably very low if it's registered as a classic car. Here in New York a car can be registered as a classic once it turns more than 25 years old and I believe that's the same for Illinois. My '73 Thunderbird costs about $280 per year and most people I have talked to pay less than that.

But I would love a Diamond Jubilee Edition or something like this. Love the color coated rims. PERFECT. I was on the show room Floor in 1980 when these were left overs and the MARK VI were selling for over $20K And could of picked up these beautiful Mark V’s for $14K as a left over.

All older cars have a longer checklist at tune up time whereas modern cars only require spark plug replacement. However as long as you do proper tune up on these classics they will run like new for a long time. Today's cars will not be on the road 50 years from now. But there are thousands of cars from the 70's still on the road today. Modern cars are cookie cutters and built as a disposable recycling material.

Hi david mcgrath, Glad you're enjoying the Channel. Is you're Grand Marquis a 2 door or a 4 door? I rarely do 4 doors, however a few have made it to the Channel, however there is usually a amazing story. The Mustang CS with a 390 with a 4 speed sounds like a winner. I'll be at Carlisle PA for the Ford Nationals this year 6/1-6/2. Hope to see you there, and hope you have a great day too, Lou

Because Ford owns Lincoln/Mercury, like GM owns Cadillac.

Come on, man. This "safe space", PC nonsense is getting out of control. The last election was your wake up call.

I'm sure they were a great bunch of guys, but I really couldn't stand The Village People's music. It was so fruity.
