Adding $8,000 to the price of a Mark V,[16]the Continental Mark V Diamond Jubilee was the most expensive vehicle ever sold by Ford Motor Company at the time, raising the price of the Mark V to over $21,000 (over twice the price of its Thunderbird counterpart). Only four options were available: the 460 V8 (with or without dual exhaust), a power moon roof, and a 40-channelCB radio.
In a style similar to the Designer Editions, the Diamond Jubilee Edition was given its own design. The exterior was given a nearly monochromatic exterior, with color-keyed body moldings, vinyl top, wheels, grille, hood ornament, and trunk lid(with Lincoln badge); two colors were available and exclusive to the edition (Diamond Blue and Jubilee Gold).[16]Chrome trim was largely limited to the window and grille surrounds, bumpers, and trim of the fender vents (exclusive to the edition). Alongside the Lincoln Versailles, the Diamond Jubilee Edition was one of the first Ford Motor Company vehicles to utilize clear coat paint.
The interior was given its own model-specific trim.[16]The split front bench seat was replaced by cloth bucket seats with a center console with a padded armrest; the rest of the interior included padded leather on high-wear areas. Designed to provide extra storage, the console stored an umbrella on the underside of the armrest. Matching its name, the opera windows featured simulated diamond chips inside the glass, with a Diamond Jubilee script on the window the hood ornament featured crystal-style inserts. All Diamond Jubilee Marks were supplied with a leather bound owner's manual and tool kit. Every new owner was given car keys matching the interior trim and could request a Ford-created cookbook entitled"Ford Diamond Jubilee Recipe Collection".[17]
In total, 5,159 Diamond Jubilee Edition Continental Mark Vs were produced.
