The Continental Mk. III was the spiritual successor of the
limited-production. ultra-luxurious Continental Mk. II. produced by
a short-lived Continental division of Ford Motor Company between
1956 and 1957. A vinyl roof in cavalry twill pattern was optional
but examples without the vinyl roof were rare. mainly because the
roof was made in two pieces and required extra preparation at the
factory to conceal the seam. Consequently. its availability was not
widely advertised. Some 12. 00+ were produced in the first year of
production alone and just 95 of these were specified without the
vinyl.

This imposing example. in gleaming white with white leather
trim. was originally ordered without the Landau Vinyl roof. by
Baseball star (and second baseman for the Nashville Vols and
Washington Senators) Johnny Mihalic. for his wife Ruth. The options
for this car included High Torque axle. six-way power seats. br/>automatic climate control. tinted glass. a special body finish and
automatic headlight dimmer. swelling the cost to an eye watering
$8. 80. 61. The car today is in fantastic condition and shows very
little sign of its 45 years of age; the chrome and paintwork are
extremely good. as is the sumptuous interior and the rare Autronic
Eye even works as it should. Having covered just 86. 00 miles and
having had a full engine and air conditioning and carburettor
rebuild. this exceptional example puts Rolls-Royces and
Bentleys in the shade. turning heads wherever she goes. A very rare
example. presented without the vinyl roof and in a condition that
needs to be seen to be appreciated. this American luxury car is. as
Ford so eloquently put it "the most authoritatively styled. br/>decisively individual motorcar of its generation".
