Very Rare Restored Mark II Reserved Lowered

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 21 st century eyes. Renowned as one of the 1950 s 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 1940 s. 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.
