The new electric wipers were two speed, with an adjustable interval feature that paused the wipers for up to ten seconds between cycles. This was most frequently seen on early production units, but was used throughout the rest of the year, if requested by special order. The more common variable-speed hydraulic wipers were also used throughout production. |
 There's more than just a hint of the1956-57 Continental Mark II from this vantage point. 13.5 cubic feet of luggage capacity was hidden below this distinctive rear deck, and the spare tire inside was covered in a dark gray material that matched the trunk lining. The jack was tucked up inside the right rear quarter panel and was concealed by a flap that matched the rest of the luggage compartment. A small label sewn to the flap marked what was hidden behind. |

 Cartier Clock, designed by the famous jeweler Cartier, is a 5-jewel electronic timepiece, the first of its kind in an American car. Transistors actuate the gear movement by continuous pulsations. Twice as accurate as ordinary car clocks, the Cartier Chronometer is virtually silent—there is no re-wind spring to "click" every minute or so. Some believe the name Cartier displayed on the clock face makes the car a Cartier edition. The Cartier Edition Mark IVs and Mark Vs were available 1976-1979, and the color and trim were what made the option—no Mark IIIs were ever built with such a trim option. |
