	Lincoln Mark series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even though the Continental Mark II was technically not a Lincoln, it featured the Lincoln hallmark spare tire hump in the trunk lid, was sold and serviced at Lincoln dealerships, and the vehicle's drivetrain and forebears also came from Lincoln; thus causing many to think of the Mark II as a Lincoln.
		The Mark III was the first Mark produced by Lincoln itself since its predecessor the Continental Mark II was manufactured by Continental which for the two years of its manufacture was a separate Ford division apart from Lincoln.
		Lincoln, with the Mark V and Continental, held out for the giant American car longer than anyone else, but after 1979 it would not be possible.

	Lincoln Continental Mark III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lincoln Continental Mark III was a personal luxury car produced by Lincoln and sold in North America in the 1969 through 1971 model years, although it actually became available in early 1968.
		Though the Mark III was officially considered a 1969 model by Ford Motor Company, it was really a 1968 1/2 model due to its early production falling within the last few months of the 1968 model year.
		In the Eldorado's case it was the Toronado; Lincoln, similarly, took the underpinnings of the 1968 Ford Thunderbird, built alongside Lincolns at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant.

		Engineers at Ford thought that the '58-'60 Marks were not at all deserving of the "Mark" name, thus the number rollback to Mark III.

	AUTOMOTIVE MILEPOSTS \| 1969-1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III
		No one knows for sure why Lincoln reused the Mark III name again, some speculate it was because Ford was so unhappy with the slow sales of the 1958 Mark III, and they wanted to somehow pretend it never existed, and by reusing the name they were somehow changing history.
		The 1970 Mark III was almost identical in appearance to the 1969 model, except it was updated with the new transmission/steering wheel/ignition key locking system that all Ford cars got for 1970.
		Sales of the Mark III each year outpaced those of the Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado, which was the Mark's main competitor, but no doubt also impacted the sales of its sister, the Thunderbird, to some degree.
