1956 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK II COUPE

The Continental Mark II debuted at the 1955 Paris Motor Show. Its fashion-forward lines fit in nicely with the European marques also on display. First available in 1956, this incredible motorcar was the product of mostly hand-built construction utilizing only the finest materials available. The interior of these exclusive vehicles was lavish with power features, full leather, and instrumentation that rivaled the finest watchmakers’ precision. Power was derived from the 368 cubic inch V8 that produced an incredible 285 horsepower. This level of performance and luxury was not without cost, considering the expense of nearly $10,000 when new. The Mark II attracted the same clientele as Rolls-Royce, with numerous famous owners, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Nelson Rockefeller, and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower. Only 3,005 would be built between 1956 and 1957, and today the Continental Mark II remains to be one of the most sought-after models by collectors across the globe. The magnificent 1956 Lincoln Continental MKII featured here is finished in gorgeous dark gray metallic over a deep burgundy leather interior. This exquisite example has been subject to a no expense spared show quality restoration and is now ready to be shown or driven. Equipped with every available option, including rare factory air conditioning; this is the perfect example to add to any premier collection; we are proud to offer what we believe to be one of the very best Continental MKII on the market today for the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own the very best!
