The Lincoln Mark VIII, a 2-door personal luxury car or Grand tourer, was introduced by Ford's luxury division in 1993 and continued production until 1998. Manufactured at the Wixom Assembly Plant in Michigan, alongside the Ford Thunderbird and the Mercury Cougar, it was the last model in the Lincoln Mark series. Utilizing the Ford FN platform, the Mark VIII was characterized by a front-wheel-drive layout. The model was designed by Ford's then-design director Dave Rees and was larger yet lighter than its predecessor, the Mark VII. It had advanced chassis features including a high-strength roof, front and rear crumple zones, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, dual front-side airbags, heavy-gauge steel door beams for side impact protection, and a computer-controlled air suspension that could automatically adjust ride height at high speeds. The Mark VIII was powered by a new all-aluminum 4.6L DOHC 32-valve V8 engine, coupled with a 4R70W 4-speed automatic transmission, producing 280 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque. It also came with standard chrome dual exhaust tips and 16-inch aluminum wheels. The model received redesigns in 1997 and 1998, featuring a larger grille, smoother front and rear fascias, an aluminum hood, a subtle "spare tire hump" on the rear decklid, neon brake lights, and side mirrors with puddle lamps to illuminate the ground for entering passengers.

The Lincoln Mark VIII, despite its 1997 facelift and special models, has been known to face some common issues. Engine failure is the most frequently reported problem by long-time Mark VIII drivers, often manifesting as unusual engine noises, rough running, misfires, stalling, and starting issues. These issues are often exacerbated by cooling system failure, leading to engine overheating and reduced performance, signaled by a loss of power during acceleration and the activation of the Check Engine Light. Inspections of the spark plug, air filter, oil filter, crankshaft pulley, thermostat gasket, and radiator hose are advised in these cases. Suspension and transmission failures are also common, resulting in uncomfortable and unstable driving experiences and possibly noises from underneath the vehicle. Suspension failure may cause uneven tire wear, leading to vehicle tilting, poor handling, bouncing while driving, and a loose steering wheel. Transmission failure symptoms may include the indicator not matching the gear, the vehicle not turning off, starting in another gear, not going into gear at all, transmission slippage, and a delay in reversing. Possible culprits could be the Mark VIII coil springs, shift cable, transmission pan, and automatic transmission filter. Additional maintenance on the Mark VIII door handle, emblem, window switch, wiper arm, fog light bulb, headlight bulb, and oil pressure switch is advised to ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.
