1973 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

The most obvious difference between the 1973 Mark IV and last year’s is the adoption of the big “5-mph” bumper, which forces to reduce the height of the grille. Optional in 1972 for widely ordered, the “opera” windows, these oval openings in the thick rear roof pillar, are now made standard.
