Vehicle Description
1956 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK 11 COUPE Classic Luxury! 1956 Lincoln
Continental Mark II. The first year of the second generation
Continental. With a price tag of $10,000 when new, the Mark II
(equivalent to nearly $91,000 today) cost the same as five Ford
Customlines. With a large number of power-equipment features
included, the Mark II was offered with a single option: $595 for
air conditioning. This car is equipped with factory
air-conditioning. The 368 cu in 6.0L Y-block V8 starts; runs and
drives well, boasting 300HP from the factory. When current owner
purchased the car in 2010, over $6,000 of mechanical work was done
to ensure its drivability including carburetor rebuild, pushrods,
exhaust valves and seats; heads rebuilt, hoses, belts, heater motor
and more. Brakes, suspension and handling all in good, working
order. Power windows are operational as well as horn, lights and
gauges. The car was re-painted many years ago in Pastoral Blue by a
previous owner, a consumer-level respray with a nice shine and even
with a few scuffs here and there, presentable as-is. The floors and
inner-rockers are solid. This Continental Mark II Coupe is a nice,
solid, driver-quality Lincoln that should bring plenty of
enjoyment.
