The 1958-1960 Lincolns were the largest American cars built following the Second World War; they were opulent and audacious. They were the first Lincolns to receive full unitary construction. All examples were powered by a 430-cid, 315-hp V-8 engine with an automatic transmission. In 1960, only 2,044 examples of the Lincoln Mark V Convertible were made. Today there are less than 500 of the automobiles reported to be surviving still.

This Lincoln has been correctly restored with white paint and a matching white convertible hardtop. The exterior also features fender skirts, wide whitewall tires and full factory wheel covers. The interior is tailored with factory air conditioning, Autronic-Eye, radio, electric clock and red leather upholstery. Standard features on the Mark V included six-way power adjustable seats, tinted glass; power windows (including vents), antenna, steering and brakes.The rear window being retractable while the top is up makes for great top-up/open-air touring and while certainly uncommon in its design, it is very popular in its application.
