This beautiful, important and exceptionally rare 1957 Lincoln Mark
II Continental is a 3-owner vehicle with only 40,913 actual miles.
It is equipped with every possible option including the rare and
desirable factory air conditioning and padded dash. This car has a
368ci V8 engine which was specifically made, blueprinted and
balanced for this vehicle by a special department within Lincoln.
Connected to the engine is the original 3-speed automatic
transmission as well as a stainless steel dual exhaust system which
was recently refurbished. Additional equipment includes power
steering, power brakes, power windows (including vent), power seat,
AM "Town & Country" radio, power antenna and a self-regulating
clock. This was the most expensive automobile in 1957 with a retail
price of $10,000 US dollars. The original owner of this particular
example was Edward Gaylord who founded Gaylord Concept Cars with
his brother. Gaylord Concept Cars were renowned for building
concept cars and leading-edge prototypes for Detroit's "Big Three".
The exterior has had one professional repaint in its
factory-correct color and the red and white Bridge of Weir Scottish
leather interior is original to the car. This is a phenomenal
example of a mid-century American flagship automobile with lots of
long-term upside and potential in the collector car market. Act now
while the time is right!
