This 1978 Mark V was also used on the set of the original television show Dallas as Jock Ewing’s car. While it’s the same silver color as the ’77, those with a discerning eye will notice this one has a set of turbine alloy wheels. Its whereabouts are unknown today.

At the start of the series “Ewing 1” was originally on the Country Squire station wagon that Suellen would drive periodically.
The Lincoln Mark 5 was shown parked in the driveway of the Original Mini Series where South Fork was at a different location.
Eventually, when Suellen obtained her own car. The mark 5 re-appeared with “Ewing 1” on its license plate.
Let me kindly educate you. Jock never had a ’77. The Lincoln he drove from Episode #1 in 1978 thru his death in 1981 was the exact same ’78 Mark V. They changed wheel covers twice (for a total of 3 different sets of hubs/wheel-covers. The car is blue, not silver. The car is located here: http://www.southforkranch.com/tours (on Southfork to this very day). The car has 25K actual miles. All of the fluids are drained out, & the Southfork museum! Please don’t ask me how I know all this….
