<b>1977-1979 Lincoln Mark V</b><br>
<br>
Average miles per gallon: 3.5-7 MPG<br>
<br>
Average cost of one gallon of gas: $0.65 (1977) - $0.90 (1979)<br>
<br>
Paris Hilton has nothing on her '70s counterparts, because while she can only wear designer fashion, they could drive it! Personal editions from Cartier, Gucci, Bill Blass and Emilio Pucci helped make Lincoln's Mark V one of America's favorite luxury coupes. Collectors have caught onto this car, pushing prices past $20,000 for a mint-condition Diamond Jubilee or Collector's Series. The 1979 brochure features another '70s icon, Tom Selleck, modeling alongside the Mark V.
