When Lincoln Took On The Germans - The Lincoln MKVII

In this Rare Cars documentary, we are covering probably what is one of the most overlooked American Cars ever made - the Lincoln Mark VII. These cars were an 80's expose for Lincoln to try and reinvigorate the brand and build a series of true euro fighters to compete with the likes of BMW & Mercedes. The MKVII carried a host of special technological innovations that really made it for the first time ever competitive with the Europeans like air suspension, a digital dash, and more. But it was still powered by that gloriously American 5.0L V8 that we all know and love.
