The Continental Mark V is a personal luxury coupe marketed in North America by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company for model years 1977–1979, as the fourth generation of the Mark series. At 230 inches (5.8 m) in length, it was the longest two-door coupe Ford has marketed.
The Mark Vs were assembled alongside the Lincoln Continental at Wixom Assembly (1957–2007). For 1980, the Mark V was replaced by the Continental Mark VI, significantly reduced in exterior dimensions.
