 Mark II Continentals were Ford Motor Company's image cars during an era when the then-family-owned automaker sought to compete with GM by making a stock offering to the public in 1956. These cars didn't sell well. but they were never intended to. They were sold by the then-new Continental Division through Lincoln dealers. This car marks the first use of the modern perimeter frame. allowing for a Hudson Hornet-like “step-down” interior and lower center of gravity. The lower roofline adds to a look that seems modern even to 21st century eyes. Renowned as one of the 1950s finest designs. these class-act automobiles were built as well as anything in the world at the time. Styling was an intentional update of the original Continentals from the 1940s. The engines were specially constructed Lincoln-derived units individually tested prior to installation. and the new Multi-Drive automatic meant that Ford no longer needed to rely upon arch-enemy GM for automatic transmissions in luxury cars as it had through 1954. Costing a then-astronomical $10. 00 plus. the cars were exclusive when new and are even more exclusive now. Merely 2. 50 were built.   This is a stunning example of such a car. hand built and ready for a true collector.    Finished in near perfect Presidential Black with new Black leather.   This American Icon was collector owned. serviced and maintained to the highest standards.    Only about 2500 miles since restoration.   All factory options including air conditioning.   Perfect stainless and chrome. very rare original factory hub caps.   All original drive train. California car all the way. # C5613261.   Now on display at the home of “over the top cars” CHECKERED FLAG CLASSICS 7743 MONTEREY ST GILROY 408-847-8788 California buyers are responsible for sales tax and license fees.   Bid with confidence I am a licensed bonded California dealer.   This American Icon is for sale locally therefore the auction can end at any time.   Thanks for looking!
