1982 Lincoln Mark VI Brochure
By 1982, Lincoln's personal-luxury buyer wanted substance without apology.

Against the Cadillac Sixty Special and the Packard Super Eight, Lincoln's 1941 Zephyr held its ground with a 120-horsepower V12 that delivered smooth, unhurried power. The body was roomier than before, the interior trimmed in genuine leather and burled walnut. For buyers seeking American luxury without pretension, this was the year the Zephyr proved it belonged in that conversa
