1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II Starmist White over Red/White AC & Literature!!

Cosmetically restored White over White/Red Mark II! Factory air conditioned example listed with a $10000+ sticker price when new! Perhaps the most luxurious 50s car for the money! Great investment!

Lincoln’s spiritual successor to the esteemed pre/post-war V12 Continental was the Mark II. In an effort to branch off the Continental brand and take it upmarket the car wore Lincoln badging but no “LINCOLN” script. Instead the car featured almost every luxury feature imaginable as standard equipment with only one option: air conditioning. Under the hood was a powerful 368ci version of Ford’s Y-Block mated to a smooth Turbo-Drive three-speed automatic. Base price of these hand-built cars was around $10000 which restricted admission into this exclusive Mark II club to only the wealthiest individuals including Elvis Frank Sinatra Elizabeth Taylor and the Shah of Iran. It is estimated that around 3000 cars were built over its two-year production run of which only half are thought to exist still today!

We are very excited to offer this 1956 Continental Mark II! The car is finished in its factory correct color scheme of 14 – Starmist White over 1F6M – Red & White interior upholstery and powered by its original 368ci V8 engine and Turbo-Drive automatic! Features on this car are abundant and include power steering power brakes tinted power-lift windows 4-way power seat & power antenna; dual zone heating Travel-Tuner AM radio with dual speakers electric clock engine dress-up kit and fully carpeted trunk. This car has the only available option air conditioning where the condenser is located between the trunk and back seat with four registers in the headliner! It has been recently serviced and continues to blow cold today. The car rides on freshly painted steel wheels with Continental hubcaps and brand new 8.20-15 US Royal wide whitewall tires!
