The Lincoln Continental model series had been a staple in the Ford Motor Company's family of fine, luxury automobiles for many years. It represented their best on offer in the ultra-luxury division competing against the likes of the Cadillac and Chrysler on showrooms nationwide. Each new generation easily identified in a Mark designation, with the Continental Mark VII hitting the market in 1984. This modern platform shared its chassis with the Ford Fox-platform utilizing the same chassis as the Mustang, Thunderbird, and Cougar, but came with more upscale features as standard equipment. This included auto-leveling suspension, on-board computers, digital instrumentation, and automatic climate-control systems.
The Luxury Sport Coupe, or LSC, was also incorporated into the Mark VII series as a new showroom attraction for buyers wanting a sportier, 2-door option. By 1986, the Continental Mark VII simply became known as the Lincoln Mark VII, and the LSC would undergo an attractive update to separate it from other models, mainly to better enhance its performance appeal. By 1988, it would utilize the High-Output 5.0L V8 and 4-speed automatic transmission shared with the Mustang GT to provide strong performance in combination with luxurious ride and handling characteristics, particularly due to a revised steering design. This led to a 120-mph speedometer in 1990, along with 16" BBS-style cast alloy wheels. The very special Mark VII LSC was produced until 1992 and quickly became referred to as "The Fox Body in a Tuxedo."
