1956 Continental Mark II For Sale in Huron, Ohio 44839
Get ready to capture the attention of anyone who sees you driving
this 1956 Continental Mark II. "To craft the finest automobiles in
America"- This was the brief of Ford's short-lived Continental
Division. The Continental Division of Ford Motor Company traced its
roots back to Edsel Ford's pet project, the 1939
Lincoln-Continental. The Continental Division instituted a
seven-point quality-control program, and each Mark II required
twice as many man-hours to build as did a contemporary Lincoln. The
quality of materials used in these cars was one of their best
attributes, as Ford felt everything in their flagships should be
the best. This European-inspired vehicle, styled by E.T. "Bob"
Gregorie and based on the contemporary Zephyr's body and
mechanicals, set the trend for long hoods and short rear decks that
remains 75 years later. The coupe's styling was considered quite
conservative upon introduction; its lack of tailfins, air scoops,
chrome moldings, two-tone paint or other "jet age" styling cues
gave the Mark II a tastefully understated appearance. This 2-door
hardtop features a sleek, elegant styling. It is dressed in
beautiful Powder Blue paint that is complemented by an
exceptionally clean Blue Leather interior. Powered by a 368 V-8
engine that is paired with automatic transmission, this handsome
devil offers 300 horsepower and a readiness to hit the road. If you
are someone who collects or appreciates rare, iconic classics than
you owe it yourself to check out this Mark II!
