Gateway Classic Cars of Denver welcomes this 1956 Continental Mark
II ! This is a Numbers matching, no panel's replaced, beautiful
example of a two year only built luxury vehicle. The owner has
added A/C. There is a Bin of Documents / Manuals / Receipts /
Brochures that goes with this vehicle. The Continental Mark II is
an ultra-luxury coupe sold by the Continental Division of Ford,
serving as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company.
The Mark II was produced for the 1956 and 1957 model years. Like
its competitor, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, the Mark II was
essentially hand-built, making it the most expensive
American-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time.
Ford lost money on each unit sold. The Mark II, a two-door hardtop
coupe, used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including a V8
engine and automatic transmission. The Mark II was the sole product
line of the Continental Division. The car derived its name from a
practice in European manufacturing, with "Mark II" denoting a
second generation (the vehicle was intended as the successor to the
1939-1948 Lincoln Continental). Following the demise of the Mark
II, Ford rebadged Lincoln vehicles under the Continental nameplate
from 1958 to 1960. the Continental Mark II made its world debut at
the Paris Motor Show in October 1955. The Mark II debuted in the
United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn,
Michigan.[9] With a $9,960 price tag (equivalent to $95,060 in
2019),[10][2] the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced
automobile sold in the United States; The only option offered for
the Mark II was a $595 ($5679) air conditioner (used through
interior-mounted ducts). Don't miss your opportunity to own a piece
