2020 Market Review - Lincoln 1957-84
Ford’s luxury brand took longer than Cadillac to be accepted onto the Australian market and even then its presence didn’t last for long. Once the classy Mark 3 Continental appeared, local dealers took an interest in Lincoln imports and throughout the 1970s brought in a lot of Mark IV and V two-doors. These were laboriously converted to right-hand drive and very expensive as a result.

Survivors haven’t held those values and very good two-door Lincolns might reach $35,000. They join a smattering of 1950s and ‘60s cars in the market, none of which will be particularly expensive.
1960s Continental Convertibles in excellent condition are the only models to regularly exceed $50,000, while Town Cars offer interesting and prestigious transport at around $25,000.
