Advertising Proof, 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII, "It Not Only Says You've Arrived, It Says You Beat Everyone Else There"

Summary

Lincoln's Mark VIII debuted for the 1993 model year, continuing a series that stretched back to the 1956 Continental Mark II. The Mark VIII was marketed as a personal luxury car -- a premium version of Ford's Thunderbird or Mercury's Cougar -- with a two-door body and a traditional rear-wheel-drive layout. The trunk lid's shape recalled the classic rear-mounted spare tire.
