Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to bring to market this very special
1956 Lincoln Continental Mk II for your consideration. This example
here was purchased by the owner in 1987 directly from Burt
Reynolds! The owner was a friend of Burt's and spent a bit of time
in Hollywood on various movie scenes and was a companion of Burt's.
The car comes with the original license plate and still has the
original registration from Burt Reynolds Productions INC in Beverly
Hills. Still in the Window is Burt's membership sticker to "The
Jockey Club" in Miami Florida. Not only does this car come with
excellent history, it is in excellent shape. It is finished in
burgundy metallic over a tan leather interior. The car is powered
by what appears to be a 368 V8 with an automatic transmission.
Since the stopping of production of the Lincoln Continental in
1952, Ford Motor Company moved to conduct some research to decide
whether having a premium car would still be marketable. Although
all research done showed that they would more than likely lose
money on such a project, they continued the luxury model production
in hopes that such a prestigious vehicle would gain them enough
publicity to make up for any such loses. A design contest began
between Ford stylists and outside contractors to make its new
design and ended up being led by John Reinhart. This newly designed
model went on to receive the new tag "Mark II" within its name and
was classified as a two-door coupe with both traditional and
classic designs and was termed by Reinhart as a Modern Formal
design. From the dash to the floor to the headliner, this vehicle
is just as nice as the outside and is sure to keep its next owner
very comfortable from the drivers and passengers seats. From the
rear bumper with its cut-outs for the exhaust to its beautiful fins
to the unique continental package built into the trunk, it doesn't
get much better than this! Call or email us today for a closer look
at this hard to find and well-kept example!
