Description

Up for your consideration is this 1956 CONTINENTAL MARK II. This is a very rare car with only 2550 being made in the 2 years. (1956 and 1957). I reached out to the Mark 2 registry and was able to get the tag decoded and a wealth on information on these rare classics. This car has been repainted to it's original glory and the paint looks great! The engine and transmission both work great. All the windows roll up and down and the factory AC works as well. The interior has been redone to factory co...

Our Take:
  • Rarity and Production: The 1956 Continental Mark II is quite the standout in the automotive world, with only 2,550 units produced over two years. Its exclusivity wasn't just about limited numbers—it was about representing the pinnacle of luxury and style. Owning one was a statement; it told the world you were someone of significance, both socially and economically.
  • Unique Branding: Interestingly, the Mark II wasn't originally meant to be part of Lincoln's lineup. Ford intended it to be a standalone Continental brand, but that idea didn’t translate well into official records—hence why most DMVs label it as a Lincoln. It's one of those quirks in automotive history that makes owning a Mark II just a bit more intriguing. You get a classic Lincoln that never really wanted to be a Lincoln!
  • Luxe Features Galore: Even by today's standards, the Mark II was packed with features that scream opulence. You've got power everything—steering, windows, adjustable seats—and let's not forget that factory AC, which was a real luxury at the time. And who could overlook the V8 under the hood? A 368 cubic inch powerhouse coupled with a three-speed automatic transmission ensured it wasn't just about looks.
  • Artful Restoration: This particular Mark II has been lovingly brought back to its original glory, with a meticulous repaint and an interior restored to factory specs. The fact that its air conditioning and all electricals work perfectly is a testament to the quality of the restoration and maintenance. It's a rolling piece of art that embodies mid-century American luxury.
