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).

Oldsmobile is yet another one of those American automakers who is, sadly, no more. Our country’s storied automotive history is littered with such manufacturers who gave us some truly spectacular machines; yet time and economics were unkind to them. But have you heard of the Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds range? You see, in 1968, Oldsmobile collaborated with renowned aftermarket tuning firm Hurst Performance to create a special line-up of sporty cars. They started with the Cutlass. By 1983, it was time to celebrate 15 years of this amazing partnership, and a line-up of special 15th Anniversary Edition Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds were made. This 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary Edition is one of just 3,001 units made, and comes to you with 14,152 miles. Currently residing in Hiawatha, Iowa, this car packs the iconic Rocket V8 and Lightning Rod transmission combo.
