1972 Mark IV color combination

Details such as correct colors, plating material, inspection marks, orientation, and even the number of wipes that should occur for a vacuum-powered windshield wiper system after pushing the "wash" button.

1972 Mark IV color combination

Post by Bill Prince »

Was a black bodied car and black vinyl top offered from the factory with the dark green interior?
Thanks,
Bill

You MIGHT find your answer in the 1972 Color and Upholstery Book. Seen here: https://www.lincolnlandinc.com/browsePr ... tegory~762
I would think that there would be no reason why one like that couldn't be ordered.

If it wasn’t available as standard, someone could have special ordered just about whatever combo they liked back in those days. The interior “harmonizer” made suggestions on what combinations would coordinate well with each other, but that didn’t prevent someone from ordering whatever oddball combination that they wanted. Black with green interior doesn’t seem off the wall, to me.
