For 1970 (and 71) the exterior mirror head got a make over with a Lincoln Star, off set in a corner of a squared border. The mirror difference in Mark III? In model year 1969 the outside mirror head was smooth chrome. The same as slab side Lincoln Continental! That mounting did change for Mark IV but that is not the topic of this thread. And all years of Mark III had the added complexity, the exterior mirrors are mounted integral with the top peak molding. Not possible at all for 1970/1971 models. A right outside mirror was possible for model year 1969. So when the Mark III was introduced in 1968, the vast majority had only the left outside mirror. By the 1970s it was more common to have a right outside mirror. When the (second) Continental Mark III was rolled out, the industry was changing from only one outside mirror to dual.
