Description
After a hiatus of some seven years, the luxurious range-topping Continental returned to the Lincoln range.
Premiered at the Paris Salon in October 1955, the Continental Mk
II was a sublimely styled hardtop coupe created by a team that included Gordon Buehrig, William Clay Ford and John Reinhart.
The Mk
II was powered by the most powerful (300bhp) of Lincoln's 368ci (6.0-litre) overhead-valve V8 engines and boasted a host of desirable features as standard including power steering, power brakes, power seats, power vents, AM radio, whitewall tyres and a heater.
Air conditioning was the sole convenience option.
Offered in 19 standard exterior colours and 43 interior design schemes with five interior fabrics to choose from, there was something for everyone.
Leathers were supplied by Scotland's Bridge of Weir.
Priced close to the then breathtaking $10,000 mark, the Continental Mk
II was necessarily a most exclusive automobile.
Only 2,550 were made in 1956 and 446 in '57.
