Matchbox 28d; Mack Dump Truck

The largest of the Lincoln Continental Mark Series, the Mark V shared the underpinnings of its predecessor while wearing an all-new body that influenced Lincoln styling for the next decade. Although 200 pounds lighter than the Mark IV, it was stretched to the point of being only 3 inches shorter than the 4-door Continental. The Mark V would go on to be the best-selling of the Mark Series, averaging over 75,000 sales a year.

This Matchbox was added to the range in 1979 in light red with a white roof and a tan interior. In that year it was changed to dark red which colour it remained until it was withdrawn in 1981, this later colour can be found with tan, grey or dark brown seats. Dark red cars get a small premium over light red cars.
