Rarely does a manufacturer turn out one brilliant design one
after another after yet another. but that is exactly what happened
with the Continental Mk. III. Mk. IV. and Mk. V series. Spanning a
period of more than 10 years. these cars set new standards year
after year for design excellence. glamour and prestige. This
1979 example was the last year for the Mk. V and once again came
the limited edition series designed by Cartier. Bill Blass. br/>Givenchy. and Pucci with new colours and trims selected to awe the
Lincoln buyers. Occupants received admiring glances from strangers
by merely having the good fortune of riding in such fine
automobiles. A smooth. solid ride and quiet cabin are areas where
these cars excelled above the rest. calming passengers and
isolating them from the turmoil of the world outside. Everything
looked different through the tinted windows of a Lincoln
Continental.
Nominated at the American Fashion Hall of Fame. American
designer Bill Blass lent his name and concept to this. a rare
limited edition' Bill Blass' edition. A respected leader in his
field is also an epithet that can be applied to the vendor of this
example. Legendary drummer. Mark Brzezicki . founder member of
1980's rock band. Big Country as well as string of other session
acts including Ultravox. Procal Harum. The Cult. Pete Townshend and
The Pretenders. In fact. the self-effacing Mark Brzezicki was
recently nominated 4th best all-time drummer. Ever.
And that's impressive but his real passion seems to be the Mk. V
Lincoln Continental and this example represents an excellent
example from his collection. This Mk. V addition is distinguished
by dark blue body side mouldings and dual Gold paint stripes on
body side and rear deck lid. so often missing. Whilst the
white carriage roof is standard. the interior leather is more
unusual. it being white with blue piping and Bill Blass buttons. br/>and not the other way around. Acquired by said percussionist in
2006 from Cape Elizabeth on America's East coast. it has since been
meticulously cared for and forms part of his limited edition Mk. V
collection. Supplied with an extensive history file. this. The Bill
Blass edition is the embodiment of outdoor life.
