1978 Lincoln Continental Diamond Jubilee Edition Only 10,078 Original Miles!

In the world of classic American luxury automobiles, few names carry the same weight as the Lincoln Continental Mark V, and even fewer stand out as true collector's gems like the 1978 Lincoln Continental Diamond Jubilee Edition. Designed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company, this limited-production masterpiece was the pinnacle of sophistication, engineering, and exclusivity. With only 2,557 examples ever crafted in the striking Gold Diamond Jubilee finish, this particular Mark V is an extraordinary find, boasting a mere 10,078 original miles since new.

Under the hood, this stately coupe is powered by the legendary Ford 460 cubic-inch (7.5L) V8 engine, delivering 208 horsepower and a wealth of torque, making for a driving experience that is both smooth and commanding. Mated to a three-speed Ford C6 automatic transmission, this powertrain glides effortlessly down the road, embodying the refined cruising experience Lincoln was renowned for. From the moment you settle into the plush cabin, it is evident that this car was built for those who demand nothing but the finest in automotive luxury.

The Diamond Jubilee Edition was not just a celebration of Ford's 75th anniversary; it was also the most expensive vehicle the company had ever sold up to that point, reflecting its status as the absolute best that Lincoln had to offer. This particular example hails from the esteemed Bob “Wheels” Hohenforst Collection, a name synonymous with meticulous preservation and collector-grade automobiles. Every inch of this Lincoln reflects careful ownership, ensuring that it remains a time capsule of American luxury motoring.

Step inside, and you are immediately greeted by an interior fit for royalty. The factory bucket seats, separated by a stately center console, provide unparalleled comfort, while every detail, from the woodgrain trim to the plush carpeting, exudes an air of timeless elegance. The factory-original accessories included with this Lincoln are nothing short of remarkable—an owner's manual, the factory umbrella, the original Diamond Jubilee tool kit, and even the rarely seen original unused Lincoln Continental garage door wall transmitter, complete with matching woodgrain. These rare artifacts further reinforce this car's pedigree as a truly special collector's piece.

Beyond its history, exclusivity, and remarkable originality, this Mark V also comes with a Marti Report, verifying its authenticity and significance in the realm of classic luxury automobiles. Whether admired in a collection, showcased at concours events, or enjoyed on the open road, this Lincoln Continental Diamond Jubilee Edition is an undeniable statement of prestige and refinement. It is not merely a car; it is an experience—a rolling testament to a bygone era of American craftsmanship and opulence.

For those who seek an automobile that represents the height of late-1970s luxury, this collector-quality Lincoln is an absolute must-see and must-drive. Opportunities to acquire a Diamond Jubilee Edition of this caliber are exceedingly rare, and with only 10,078 original miles, this Mark V stands as one of the finest examples available anywhere.
