Are you interested in owning the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States in 1956? Meet the Continental Mark II. Developed as the successor to the first-generation Lincoln Continental, which got discontinued after six years of production due to World War II, the Mark II had big shoes to fill. To achieve this, the Ford Motor Company used a strict quality control program, which resulted in a number of suppliers upgrading their production standards as the Lincoln Continental Mark II was only allowed to use the highest quality materials. This particular example we have today had undergone a restoration roughly 20 years ago. A total of 33,568 miles on the odometer after restoration is reported by the current owner. We’re also told that some details are available from the restoration. Once an ultra-luxury coupe and a worldwide flagship vehicle, this is your chance to own a piece of automotive history for sale in Pacific Palisades, California.
Dressed in an exquisite white coat of paint, this 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II is the result of elegant engineering. Compared to other American luxury cars at the time, this Mark II was conservatively designed. For example, chrome was limited to the bumpers, grille, rocker panels, and window trim. You have meticulously hand-assembled chrome wheel covers wrapped in white wall tires, with disc brakes equipped up front. Inside the lavish white and red cabin, the Mark II comes with an extensive list of standard equipment for the time, such as power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, power vent windows, and full instrumentation — all features that were revolutionary for the time. This particular model comes with A/C and of course, a wood steering wheel.
Under the hood of this 1956 Continental Mark II is a potent 368 cu in (6.0L) Lincoln Y-block V8 16-valve OHV engine. This is mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. The Mark II used a 4-bbl carburetor fuel system and was reported to produce 285-300 hp and 402-415 lb-ft of torque that was sent to the rear wheels. To lower its body and to optimize the use of dual exhausts, the Continental Mark II uses a Y-shaped frame, creating a luxurious and powerful ride.

Lincoln, the luxury marque of Ford is best-known for their Continental. Produced sporadically between 1939 and 2020, the Continental was their full-size luxury offering. It’s a large, opulent and decadent thing that unashamedly embodies the American spirit of excess. Today’s 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Designer Series comes from the fifth series, made between 1970 and 1977. It’s a perfect dictionary description of the popular term “Land Yacht”, and this 15,513-mile, all-original car from Toms River, New Jersey Is now up for sale. Plus, it’s a special edition trim level.
If you're looking for a literal landyacht, then this could be it. The Lincoln Continental Mark V represented the height of American personal luxury in the late 1970s, combining immense size, distinctive styling, and a wealth of comfort features. This 1977 example, offered from Nevada, Missouri, is powered by a 400ci V8 paired to a C6 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing just 37,243 miles, it presents as a well-preserved classic, capturing the spirit of 1970s luxury motoring.
There was a time not too many years ago when the name of a Lincoln product told you what purpose it was built for and how and where you should use it. The Town Car nameplate is the best example of this. Before the stretch limo versions of the 2000s, this name was attached to Lincoln’s Continental line in the 1970s. Lincoln released the fifth generation Continental in 1970 and it would stay in production until 1970 with some year-by-year changes and a major facelift in 1975 (to differentiate itself from the new Mercury Grand Marquis that it shared many components with).

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
