The Mark V marked the apex of Lincoln luxury and engineering. This was the last year of the full-size chassis—literally, an end of an era. It’s all-original and very low miles. This smooth-cruising, bronze time machine has many unique design touches, including concealed headlights, turn signals incorporated into the leading edge of the front fenders, an upright chrome grille, the trademark hump across the edge of the trunklid, oval "opera” windows, and a vinyl roof.
This big car offers big luxury, from the soft suspension to the luxurious interior with cold A/C. The car starts right up, moves well, shifts well, and is comfortable and easy to drive. This car has no serious flaws and the car is fully serviced, sorted and reliable.
While this car is well-maintained and in excellent condition, it is still over 40 years old. I ask that you drive this car reasonably and do not abuse it. Please understand that it will not be flawless like a new car, and there is a greater chance of something going wrong.
HOW TO BOOK:
The hourly rate pays for the car only. Delivery to your location (within a 15-mile radius of Hawthorne) and a driver to stay on-site to help operate it are extra add-ons which usually must be added on for this car (see very bottom for exceptions). The delivery fee acts as a base fee and covers the cost of gas, drive time, and time/materials required to prep the car.
When booking, ensure you select enough time to meet the minimum booking time. This is the time the vehicle is required to be at your location. You do not need to keep the car for the minimum booking time. After booking, send me a message with approx. shoot location, any special requests, and exact time desired on-set.
Message me BEFORE BOOKING if:
1. You require delivery MORE than 15-miles from Hawthorne; an add’l fee MAY be required. I am also open to long-distance sites; the car can be trailered.
2. You have a full-day (6+ hours) or multi-day requirements, I will send you a custom rate with discounts off the advertised rate
3. You plan to have your own driver pick up/drop off and/or operate the car and thereby avoid the driver and/or delivery fee. I must approve this plan prior to booking. These requirements must be met: copy of driver's license; proof of active car insurance; written promise you will replace the fuel used. You are also limited to 75 miles per 24-hour period, with each additional mile costing $1/mile.
