William clay ford’s tribute to his father edsel, the continental mark ii was developed to be the finest automobile possible. Given a classic “long hood/short deck” profile and a simulated spare tire bulge on the trunk lid by a styling team that included ford himself, john reinhart, and former auburn-cord-duesenberg designer gordon buehrig, it was a semi-custom automobile, with a price tag to match. At $9,695, the continental mark ii, as it would be known, was the most expensive american production car in twenty years. It boasted nearly every comfort and convenience gadget as standard equipment. Ford was very clear that this was not a lincoln, but a continental, a separate division established to add exclusivity to the luxury marque. 1956 continental mark ii one of the finest in the world. Powerful v8 rated at 275hp. A balanced 368ci (6. 04l) 4-bbl lincoln y-block engine. This car was untouchable then and is still to this day.
I purchased this lincoln in 1999, for $2500. it was running, and was drivable. It is running, is drivable, but still needs finishing with re-installing of parts and complete paint and upholstery work. boxes of parts and trim pieces are in the trunk. this 1956 lincoln can be inspected most anytime here in my barn in clovis, new mexico.. Insurance. this lincoln is a true classic, and with a little more work, can become a very nice eye-catching driver. i am getting older, and not able play with cars much any more... The lincoln and the cadillac were the top luxury cars in the us in 1956, and there are not many '56 lincoln's around anymore. check out the prices of the '56 lincoln's that are restored and around now-a-days. $25,000 to $40,000!

This is a 1956 Continental Mark II. I bought this car several years ago with theintention of restoring it. I parked it in my basement and never got around toit. At 75 years of age I don't think I ever will so I'm giving someoneelse an opportunity to own it. The car is being listed without reserve so bid tobuy. The car is one of approximately 2500 built in 1956. It has factory airconditioning which was the only available option, however the condenser ismissing, other components seem to be there. The car has a shiny black paint jobbut was not properly prepared before painting. Interior is nice vinyl. Car runswell but has no brakes. Transmission seems ok but leaks fluid. Exhaust system isgood. The drivers side floorboard has been replaced and there is rust in theframe behind the rear spring mounts. Front and back windshields are good, bothdoor glasses are cracked. All window and seat motors work. There is a small dentabove the windshield in the roof resulting from the transporter when it wasshipped to me. This is a mostly complete car that needs total restoration and isa great candidate for such. It has not been driven for many years but crankswell and will drive (slowly, no brakes!) I know very little else about it butwill answer questions to the best of my ability. Air Conditioning
