The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupe that was sold by
the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years.
The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its
existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of
Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European
manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second-generation
(succeeding the 1939-1948 Lincoln Continental). As the most
expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was
marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a
two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln
mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic
transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled,
leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example
produced. Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its
flagship Continental division, with the division phased into
Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the
Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III
coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line
currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified
form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by
the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987
Lincoln Continental, as well as the 1977-1980 Lincoln Versailles)
was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunk lid.
