For Sale: 1957 Lincoln Continental in Concord, North Carolina

Limited Production Continental Mark II -

The 1957 Continental Mark II was an elegant, meticulously built coupe that remains a standout of mid-century automotive design. The Mark II was intended to rival Europe's finest grand tourers and establish the Continental Division as a premier luxury brand. Each vehicle was largely hand-assembled and finished to exacting standards. Production was intentionally limited and Ford is said to have lost money on each unit. Around 440 Continental Mark II models were built during the 1957 model year, before the Continental Division was folded into the Lincoln Division.

Classic Design & Styling -

This mostly original Continental Mark II is a handsome example of this classic. The factory Starmist White exterior has had some minor touch-up work and is in overall good condition. Mark II exterior ornamentation is minimal, but chrome and stainless have been well maintained and the classic faux 'tire bulge' profile is molded into the deck lid. Inside the Mark II interior utilized only high-quality materials throughout. The tasteful original 'Bridge of Weir Scottish' leather upholstery presents well with only normal wear. The coupe is equipped with an air conditioning system w/headliner vents, power seat, power windows, full instrumentation w/tach and a built-by-hand 'Continental' AM/FM sound system.

Lincoln Power and Performance -

Under the hood, the '57 Mark II utilized Lincoln's powerful 364-cu-in (6.0-liter) V8/4V. This was a larger version of the traditional 292/312 Ford Y-block and was rated at 285hp-415lb/ft of torque. It is paired with a TurboDrive 3-speed automatic transmission giving the coupe respectable performance for a luxury car of that era. The solid chassis is equipped with power steering and power drum brakes. Steel wheels with full factory covers mount Coker Classic wide-white tires.

The Continental Mark II is prized for its craftsmanship and distinctive styling. There are very few of these classic Continentals around - it is a piece of Ford/Lincoln history that belongs in your Blue Oval garage.
