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.

The 70s was a time for a major change in the American automotive scene. Nothing was ever the same post-oil crisis. The big shift in big old Detroit motors to fuel-sipping imports and smaller offerings by American automakers meant change was necessary to move forward. Present today is a chip off the old block and a reminder of what cars were and takes shape with this lovely 1979 Lincoln Continental Mk V. With a reported 93,000 miles on the clock, this classic American land yacht is built for cruising in style and showcases the good old days of American motoring.
The 1983 Lincoln Continental Mark VI Coupe was once the flagship of the entire Ford Motor Company model line. Brought to life by designer John Aiken, the Continental Mark VI was produced from 1980 to 1983 and was assembled at the Ford Wixom Assembly Plant in Michigan alongside the Lincoln Continental and Town Car. In comparison to its sizable predecessor, the Mark V, the Mark VI was manufactured 800 pounds lighter and nearly 14 inches shorter. This car also housed the first Ford V8 produced with throttle-body fuel injection that offered similar performance to the bigger 5.8L Windsor V8. This 1983 Lincoln was one of the first cars with several features that are commonplace today such as a keyless entry system, digital instrumentation, and a trip computer. That odometer has clocked 58,000 miles on this particular model. So, this is your chance to experience the prominent luxury of the early ‘80s in this rich historic world of four-wheeled machines.

The late 40s saw a resurgence in the American luxury car market that had almost died completely thanks to more than a decade of economic depression and World War. The post-war boom brought a wave of Cadillacs, Packards, and Lincolns re-entering the market. For the first few years after the war, most cars (especially the more expensive ones like the Lincoln Continentals) were largely similar to the pre-war models. This was due to civilian automobile production being paused after Pearl Harbor (and America’s subsequent direct involvement in WWII). In this case, the first-generation Continental had only been in production for a couple of years before being put on hold. They were offered only in 2-door form, as either a coupe or a convertible. Several changes were made when production was resumed in 1946, the most prominent being the “Zephyr” name being removed from Lincoln-Zephyr. This production run would last only a few years as well, ending in 1948. The 1949 Continental would be a fancier Mercury and not quite the expensive and exclusive personal-luxury vehicle that its predecessor was.
