More and better pics of my 72’ Mark IV
answered my own question . The hood mounted temperature gauge is actually a General motors part with a Oldsmobile logo insert. These black dial gauges run about $1000 now if you can find one. It does not belong on a 72 Lincoln but the previous owner liked what he liked and he got what he liked, so again I’m not bothered. Its part of the history of the car.New here to the forums. Here’s my 1972 Mark IV in light yellow gold. Bought via a facetime walk around and soon to be in transit to it’s new home here in TX. 21000 original miles. It’s got a couple of what look to be aftermarket accessories , such as hood mounted turn signal markers and an outside mount temp gage, on the drivers side cowl. It’s also got a real cow catcher of a front bumperette duo, with bumper guards on the back to match. I’m not bothered by either, but I would like to know of anybody else has these other A/M gizmos. Otherwise this car is bone stock the only changes being a new alternator and A/C refrigerant conversion. The car is essentially a one owner car< passed on from father to son until I just bought it. I have not had a vintage car in many years, my last being a 75 Dart , but prior to that I’ve had a 57 series 40 Buick Special ( my first car ) a 67 Firebird, a 68 Barracuda, a 69 Camaro vert”, a 72 Coronet, and a 65 Corvair Monza vert’. All of those were daily drivers. This 72 Mark is going to be just a weekender, or short runs about town.
