For Sale: 1957 Lincoln Continental Mark III in Costa Mesa, California

Vehicle Description

Crevier Classic Cars is pleased to offer this beautiful 1957 Lincoln Continental Mark III. 

Mark II Continual were Ford Motor Company’s image cars during the era when the then-family-owned automaker sought to compete with GM by making a stock offering to the public in 1956.

These cars didn’t sell well, but they were never intended to. They were sold by the then-new Continental Division through Lincoln dealers. This car marks first use of modern perimeter frame, allowing for

Hudson-like step-down interior and lower center of gravity. The lower roofline adds to a look that seems modern even to 21st century eyes. Renowned as one of the 1950s finest designs, these class-act automobiles

were built as well as anything in the world at the time.

Only a handful of custom-crafted convertible versions were built by coach makers, but they were equally stunning. Styling was intentional update of the Continentals from the 1940s.

The engines were special constructed Lincoln-derived units individually tested prior to insyalation, and the new Multi-Drive automatic meant Ford no longer needed to rely upon GM for automatic transmissions in luxury cars

as it had through 1954.

They sold new for and amazing $10,000 plus dollars in 1957 and only 444 were built for that year.
