In this Regular Car Reviews episode, the team takes on the 1991 Lincoln Mark 7 Luxury Sport coupe, a relic from a bygone era when luxury meant long hoods, cramped back seats, and an engine that could have done better. Ford seemed stuck in a time warp, churning out these personal luxury cars long after the competition had moved on to more modern offerings. The Mark 7, with its high price tag and outdated technology, represents a time when comfort trumped performance, appealing to a niche market of widows and men over 50 who clung to the past.

As the team delves into the quirks of the Mark 7, they uncover a mix of luxury options like air shocks, digital gauges, and power windows that were considered cutting-edge in 1991. Despite its flaws, the car exudes a nostalgic charm, drawing in those who long for a taste of yesteryears long gone. The episode is punctuated with humor and wit, painting a vivid picture of the type of individual who might have found solace in owning a Lincoln Mark 7 during its heyday.

The team's exploration of the car's history reveals an attempt by Lincoln to capture the attention of BMW and Mercedes clientele, a lofty goal that ultimately fell short as depreciation hit the Mark 7 like a ton of bricks. Critiques of the car's Windsor block engine, transmission, and fuel efficiency highlight its shortcomings compared to more modern counterparts. Despite its age and mileage, the Mark 7 soldiers on, a testament to its durability and the care shown by its previous owner. The episode closes with reflections on the car's place in automotive history, underscoring its unique features and eventual decline in production numbers, signaling the end of an era for this once-proud luxury coupe.
