I found this Mark V listed for sale and listed as a Cartier. Everything I've found shows that the '79 Cartier was Light Champagne. Is this the real deal?

No, and it also has incorrect wheels. That is a standard model with the carriage roof option.
It's been covered here a million times, but low-information sellers see Cartier on the clock and assume that makes the car a Cartier edition. All Lincolns came with Cartier clocks during this period. You are correct that in '79 the Cartier was light champagne only.

I suspected that but wanted to make sure. I emailed the seller, and you are correct. He believed that since the car had a Cartier clock that it was a Cartier edition.
