I looked at some of the other Mark III's in this sites's archives. From what I can see, there are two others that are labled as 1969 models. However, from what I can tell it was starting with the 1970 model year that they came with hidden wipers. The 1968/1969 models had exposed wiper arms.
Ha ha. I've owned continentals and didn't notice that about the wipers. It is wearing Mark-IV wheel covers. Too bad EVERY body panel is misaligned. But it's a pain straighten when each one weighs 300lbs.
Best of OPC.

The auto-headlamp-dimmer looks like something out of the original "War of the Worlds" movie.

That headlamp dimmer is AWESOME....never going to see anything innovative and interesting on cars like that anymore.
