Vehicle Description
The Continental Mark II is a rare and elegant classic built by the
newly created Continental Division of the Ford Motor Company in
1956 and 1957. Built to be the most expensive and luxurious
American car available, it was priced higher than Cadillac, Packard
and Imperial. The Mark II sold for $9,996 (with the only option
being air conditioning), the equivalent of a new Rolls-Royce at the
time. Each car was built to exacting standards, each nut and bolt
was hand torqued and the engines individually hand balanced. Upon
completion each car was fitted with a fleece lined cover before
shipping to dealers. This example is presented in Presidential
Black with the correct red "Bridge of Weir" leather hides. Options

368 C.I. (6.0L) V8 4BBL Engine/285 H.P.
