The Lincoln Continental Mark VI is a full-size luxury car that was sold by the Lincoln-Mercury division of Ford Motor Company from 1980 to 1983. As a response to federal fuel economy standards, the Mark VI was the first model of the Mark series with smaller exterior dimensions than its predecessor. Sharing powertrain and many body panels with the 1980 Lincoln Continental, it was based on the then-new Ford Panther platform.
For the first time since 1960, the Lincoln Mark Series was produced in multiple bodystyles. Along with the familiar 2-door sedan, Lincoln reintroduced a 4-door sedan bodystyle. All Continental Mark VIs were produced at Ford's Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom, Michigan.
The Mark VI was replaced by the Mark VII in 1984, which returned to a coupe-only bodystyle.
