Setting the Lincoln Mark V apart from other luxury manufacturers in period were the various special editions offered. This included the Luxury Group offered from 1977 to 1979, the Designer Series offered from 1977 to 1979, the Diamond Jubilee Edition for 1978, and the Collector’s Series for 1979. The most coveted of the Mark Vs today is the designer series including the car featured designed by Emilio Pucci, each of which featured a unique exterior and interior design celebrating an internationally recognized designer for which they were named.
For 1977 to 1979 the celebrated designers included Bill Blass, Hubert de Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, and Ralph Destino of Cartier. The Mark V was produced from 1977 to 1979 and is considered the most successful of Lincoln’s Mark series.
