As the 1980s approached, demand decreased for traditionally-sized massive luxury vehicles. This model was perhaps the last true holdout, entering production in 1977 with an industry-largest 7.5 L engine... except in California, where the engine did not meet emissions criteria.

The Lincoln Continental Mark V was redesigned in 1980. Its descendant was over a foot shorter and produced 70 less horsepower.
