Vehicle Description
To be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sotheby's Santa
Monica event, June 24, 2017.
Estimate:
$45,000 - $55,000 US
Beautiful older restoration in stunning colors
Interior upholstery done to very high standards
Recently discovered in a private Northern California collection
Offered from long-term stroage, will require recommissioning prior
to use
This very rare Lincoln Continental Mark II was recently discovered
in Northern California, where it has spent a number of years. These
Lincolns were one of the world's most expensive and luxurious cars
in 1956, costing over $10,000, on par with a Rolls-Royce.
While little is known of its early history, it is known to have
come to the West Coast from Florida approximately a dozen years
ago. It appears to have been the recipient of a high-quality older
restoration, with very attractive red paintwork contrasted against
beautifully redone two-tone upholstery. The passenger compartment
can best be described as opulent and luxurious, as one would
expect. The engine bay has also been fully restored and detailed
and offers a very pleasing visual presentation. The Lincoln's
odometer records just under 84,000 miles, believed to be
original.
This stunning Mark II should provide much future enjoyment, but has
been sitting largely unused for the last decade. As it has been
sitting for an extended period, it will need some recommissioning
before hitting the road again.
