Lincoln Mark V Memorabilia
Cherished Keepsakes: Rare Lincoln Memorabilia Collection
1978 DIAMOND JUBILEE DEALER POSTER.
These were on display at Lincoln dealers during the 1978 model year to herald the arrival of the special Diamond Jubilee Mark V which commemorated Ford’s 75th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary. Often times the dealer would present the buyer of a new Diamond Jubilee with one of these posters. They measure approximately 22 inches by 28 inches and is double sided. Finding one of these today is next to impossible. I recently (July 2009) added this poster to my collection thanks to an LCOC member along with the corresponding Mark V poster for the 1979 Collector’s Series Mark V.
1979 COLLECTOR’S
1979 COLLECTOR’S SERIES DEALER POSTER – Again a very very rare poster as is the Diamond Jubilee above. I also added this poster to my collection recently. Very rare and unique. The double-sided poster measures 22 inches by 28 inches and was intended to hang from the ceiling of the dealer with the ability to view it from both sides.
WOOD GRAIN DEALER KEY HOLDER
Another very rare piece. This simulated woodgrain key holder was given to new owners of 1979 Lincoln Collectors Series cars by the selling dealership.
DIAMOND JUBILEE DASH PLAQUE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This unique instruction sheet was sent out with each specially engraved owner name plate that was affixed to the dash of your new Diamond Jubilee.
CUSTOM MADE DIAMOND JUBILEE
CUSTOM MADE DIAMOND JUBILEE HISTORY BINDER COVERS – I had these color coordinated leather 2 1/2 inch binders to keep the histories of my Mark V Diamond Jubilees. They are crafted by hand and are made from a very thick but soft long lasting leather. He can make these to match most car interior or exterior colors. You can have some made for your Mark V by contacting Dan Taylor at taylormadeleather@yahoo.com .

1979 CONTINENTAL MARK V DEALER ADVERTISING SIGNS
1979 CONTINENTAL MARK V DEALER ADVERTISING SIGNS – these very rare 1979 Mark V Dealer Advertising Signs were used at Lincoln Mercury dealers to tout each carline. They are very rare and difficult to find since most of these items were destroyed by the dealer after the model year ended. If you find any hold on to them. These are from my collection. Also pictured on left is the ultra rare 1979 Continental Collector’s Series double sided dealer advertising poster much like the Mark V Diamond Jubilee and Collector’s Series poster at the top of this page. Again super rare.
