Can anybody tell me what the differences are between the 1982 lincoln continental and the designer editions they made that year. ie. givenchy edition and so on?
Here are some excellent links to info you request: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Continental http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3077537 For the 1976 model year, Lincoln introduced the Designer Series; special edition Mark IVs with color, trim and interior choices by famous fashion designers. All carried the designer's signature on the opera windows, and had a 22 karat (92%) gold plated plaque on the instrument panel which could be engraved with the original owner's name. The concept was successful, and future Marks would continue to offer designer editions. For 1976, four designer editions were offered:
The Bill Blass Edition was in dark blue with cream accents. The external finish was dark blue metallic paint, with a cream "Normande Grain" landau vinyl roof, cream and gold pinstriping, and cream or dark blue bodyside moldings. Inside, a blue cloth or leather interior used cream accent straps and buttons.
The Cartier Edition was in dove grey. The external finish was dove grey paint, with a dove grey "Valino Grain" landau vinyl roof, red and white pinstriping, and dove grey bodyside moldings. The interior was in dove grey cloth or leather.
The Givenchy Edition was in aqua blue. The external finish was aqua blue "Diamond Fire" paint, with a white "Normande Grain" landau vinyl roof, black and white pinstriping, and white or aqua blue bodyside moldings. The interior was in aqua blue cloth or leather, and the instrument panel was in a special, lighter shade of simulated woodgrain.
The Pucci Edition was in red and silver. The external finish was dark red "Moondust Finish" paint with a silver "Normande Grain" landau vinyl roof, silver and lipstick red pinstriping and red or silver bodyside moldings. The interior was in dark red "Majestic" cloth.
You are welcome...my pleasure to assist you. Regarding the starting problems, pour a can of seafoam fuel additive into the gas tank. this will help with both starting and running. Also, make sure that you have a big battery and that the connections are clean and tight. JoeYou are welcome...my pleasure to assist you.
