Lincoln Continental Mark III : "The most authoritatively styled, decisively individual motor car of this generation", said the FoMoCo advertising and brochure, at that time !
Made on Final Cut Pro software.

"You must lead a charmed life, Mr. Devereau. The car's in perfect shape - not a scratch on it!"
Happy 50th Birthday to the 1971 French Connection Movie
The star of the movie is this beautiful car.
Love the Lincoln Con Mark III. I don’t like luxury cars much, but I loved this car since I first set eyes on it👏
From what I remember reading, "Irv", the mechanic shown in the movie was an actual NYPD mechanic in the motor pool at the time the movie was made.
Irving Abrahams was involved in the real case and is playing himself. He searched the actual smugglers' car, a 1960 Buick Invicta, and found the hidden traps that held the drugs.
@@speeta That's right. He was an actual NYPD motor pool mechanic back then.
Thanks for this video, classical Lincoln, beautiful.
I bought mark III of the same type at last! Thank you from Japan!
Fun trivia fact: the garage guy Irv, in the movie is played by the actual garage mechanic who took the car apart in real life for the cops.
That's correct. He was an NYPD motor pool mechanic.
My father bought one that looked exactly like the one in the movie. It was a 1970 brown with tobacco leather. He got it used in 1971 when this movie came out. My dad took me to see this movie and we could not believe our eyes when we saw this Mark III in the movie. I wish my dad kept that car, then maybe I would have got it, just say'n
Einer der besten Filme die es gibt...schaue ich mir heute noch gelegentlich an...und auch den 2. Teil der in Marseille spielt......
Der 1. Teil ist haushoch besser!
"You're in a No Smoking area sir, would you please extinguish your cigarettes?"
Fact/Trivia; The Mark 3 Lincoln is the same vehicle that was heavily customized for the film of 1977 "The Car".
a luxury-muscle car how can you not love it
Thanks for putting this together. I'm really sorry that you were forced to let go of yours, just looked at your beautiful flickr pictures in all these grandiose surroundings. I have got an aqua blue one and completely understand your anguish. Hope you got a replacement soon! If only I could, I would also love to own a IV and V, they all are such incredible creations with their own merits. French Connection was the first film I was allowed to watch after 22:00 as a kid. It was overwhelming to say the least! The Mk III has been my all time favourite car ever since
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, I hope I will be able to buy an other Mark III one day. French Connection was, indeed, a milestone movie, I love it. Mark IV are, as well, one of my favorite car, too. Thanks again.
I saw one of these brown-on-brown beauties at a swap meet/auto show this past spring, for sale. I love the movie and was sorely tempted to buy it; I could afford it - but I couldn't afford the TLC needed to keep it beautiful.
The Mark III was and is a beautiful car, I had 2 of them, I want another.....
5:16 that wave
Proud owner of mark IV
Lincoln has Virgil Exner to thank for deigning all of the winning designs he created, what a absolute genius !
Elwood Engle was the stylist of the ‘62 Continental that influenced this amazing MK III Lincoln . . . Virgil Exner was the Chrysler ‘Forward Look’ Design Chief of the 1950s both Men are Icons of Transportation Art
It drives me crazy that they left the hubcaps pushed in all they had to do was take them off and knock the center back in place with their hand
THAT CAR'S DIRTY
@heymargaretlook Year, i am agree, you're right ! Thanks for watching, my "2-full-evenings-work-result" !
Terrific pictures! Sorry about your car. Did you obtain a reasonable replacement?
4:11....who is the guy on the left sidewalk?
I always thought these were handsome cars. The classic car market does not think so. You can pick them up pretty cheap.
Eventually their price will go up.
They’re idiots. Love my mark iv
With tears in my eyes, i sold mine, 2 weeks ago, for being able to pay my income taxes (repayment of back taxes)...i'am deeply depressed now... I have to by another one (cheaper), as soon as possible now... (Pics with the link wrote on the video description).
TheTonio38 Hello from Hamburg, GER you know me from flickr... and there you can find more pictures of my Mark III. I absolutely understand how it feels to give away this fantastic car. I did this three times because I needed the money. Now I have found the ultimate Mark III for me, built in early 1968 and original condition. Yes I can say the movie „The French Connection“ with the Mark III influenced my life in a way that couldn’t be more. Too much too write down here. Thank you very much for putting all the scenes with this wonderful car together in this tribute.
This car was brand new in 1970 the early 70's everything had to be chocolate brown and burnt orange, cars, furniture, trailers etc etc. I have this movie and they ripped the car to pieces to find the drugs and then said put it back together to catch the crooks..... sure..... I'd say the car being dismantled was the last scene they filmed.
リンカーンを、ばらすシーンが好きだった！
I always wondered...how long would it have taken to completely re-assemble that car? They tore the thing apart...
Nicholas Stathoulopoulos they come apart very easily, putting it back together with all the fastenings and screws in the right places takes far longer.
The last time the power windows worked! Doing mine now on a ‘69.
Wondering what ever happened to this car?
What's the song?
The Three Degrees - Everybody gets to go to the Moon
Yes, normally, it should had taken many hours, to rebuilt the car, brand new
Why would they bring the car over from Marseilles in the first place?
Seriously? What a dick question..
I could never ignore that mud tire that just appeared out of nowhere on the left rear when the Mark III was up on the rack. -Kurt
Yeah, I noticed that too!

Am I the only one who's not crazy here? Absolutely no way that car could be returned after they ripped the sh*t out of it.
If you had a team of mechanics on it, you might be able to.
@heymargaretlook They search for heroin in hiding places that have little or no free space, or would have ruined the drugs from the heat, like when they drop the transmission pan. The editing is harsher than it looks, with sound FX of tearing the carpeting. But the car was reported stolen, and stolen cars almost always show signs of abuse or damage when they're "recovered". Also, the police have several hours to put the Lincoln back together again. Not entirely plausible, but acceptable storytelling.
I have a Maroon one, runs, and needs a fuel tank, can't find one, fuel filter kept getting plugged, Since I can't find a tank I want to sell it, has some rust and electric windows on't work, 58,000 original miles, I'm second. 620-363-4255
How about a tribute to the grandville
