1978 Lincoln Mark V Diamond Jubilee

Wallpaper Description:

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Ford Motor Company in 1978; Ford released Diamond Jubilee Editions of the 1978 Ford Thunderbird and Continental Mark V. Adding $8,000 to the price of a Mark V, the Continental Mark V Diamond Jubilee was the most expensive vehicle ever sold by Ford Motor Company at the time, raising the price of the Mark V to over $21,000. The Diamond Jubilee Edition included nearly every feature of the Mark V as standard; the extra-cost options left available included the 460 V8 (and its dual exhaust system), a power moonroof, and a 40-channel CB radio. The edftion included the digital LED "Miles-To-Empty" fuel gauge that calculated approximately how far the car could be driven with the remaining fuel in the tank, based on fuel level, driving speed, and fuel consumption rate. Every new owner was given car keys matching the interior trim and could request a Ford-created cookbook entitled "Ford Diamond Jubilee Recipe Collection".

In the style of the Designer Editions, the trim and paint of the Diamond Jubilee edition was specially color-keyed. Available in only two colors (Diamond Blue or Jubilee Gold), the edition is distinguished by a monochromatic exterior, with color-keyed wheels, grille, body trim, hood ornament, and trunklid (with color-keyed Lincoln badge). To further distinguish the exterior, chrome trim was added into the rear of the front fender vents. The Diamond Jubilee Edition was also one of the first Ford Motor Company vehicles (following the Lincoln Versailles) to utilize clearcoat paint.
The interior of the Diamond Jubilee Edition was designed to match the monochromatic exterior. The split front bench seat was replaced by cloth bucket seats with a center console with a padded armrest; the rest of the interior included padded leather on high-wear areas. Designed to provide extra storage, the console stored an umbrella on the underside of the armrest. Matching its name, the opera windows featured simulated diamond chips inside the glass, with a Diamond Jubilee script on the window the hood ornament featured crystal-style inserts. All Diamond Jubilee Marks were supplied with a leather bound owner's manual and tool kit.
In total, 5,159 Diamond Jubilee Edition Continental Mark Vs were produced. For 1979, the edition was repackaged as the Collector's Series.
