The Lincoln Continental Mark VII, later shortened to just Mark VII, was a rear wheel drive luxury coupe. Introduced in 1984, the Lincoln Continental Mark VII shared its platform with the Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar and was manufactured at the Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom, Michigan through 1992. The Mark VII held a lengthy standard equipment list, including an onboard trip computer / message center and digital instruments (on all except the LSC models after 1986). Mark VII's also came with full air suspension at all four wheels. The 1985 LSC was the first American vehicle with electronic 4-channel anti-lock brakes. The Mark VII also had the distinction of being the first American vehicle with composite headlights.

The LSC was a performance oriented model, designed to compete against European luxury coupes like the BMW 630/635CSi and the Mercedes-Benz 500/560SEC. It had a stiffer suspension, dual exhaust, sport leather seats, a higher output engine 225 hp 300 lb·ft 5.0L 302 from the Mustang GT. For 1990, 16 inch rims based on the BBS RA Series appeared on the LSC.  The LSC also had analog gauges with a speedometer, tachometer, fuel level gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and separate trip and regular odometers.  A select few were sent to Jack Roush Performance for suspension enhancements and optional 5.8L and T5 manual transmission conversions. In 1990, the LSC Special Edition was added to the lineup, as Ford prepared to segue to the Mark VIII. Since that car was still a few years away, and the VII was quickly becoming one of the more dated production cars on the road, a serious interior redesign took place that year, along with the introduction of the driver airbag.
