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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
