1956 Continental Mark II White with White/Blue Interior! Over $60K invested!, US $35,000.00, image 1

1956 Continental Mark II For Sale. Excellent Driver Car - not a show car by any means, but a great car which presents itself very well and draws a crowd wherever it goes.

I have a 3 inch binder full of receipts for work done on the car - over $43,000.00 worth of receipts. These cars are not cheap to fix or restore, so best to get one that has had most of the work done on it. This car has had a LOT of little things done to it, which would nickel and dime you to death on a car needing a restoration. Chrome work is excellent, hubcaps excellent, as is most of the car. Underside of car is very solid and rust free, and has not been undercoated or caked over to cover any rust issues - car has been a Florida and Georgia car, and is very solid.

Original Town and Country radio has been converted to am/fm - maintaining the original look. Factory A/C car - blows cool sometimes, but not for long so it will need some attention. Car drives great, and I try to take it every month to a show 150+ miles round trip from me to stretch her legs. Car is driven weekly to keep all fluids circulating - it is leaking some oil when parked. Lot of work has been done on this car, but like most old cars, it will always need a thing or two.

Paint is about 15 years old and is starting to show some wear/cracks in spots, but everyone tells me she still looks beautiful. Panels in front will need to be re-aligned (this is a very common issue with these cars), but still looks good. Driver door swung open on me taking a sharp right turn while going downhill (I didn't close the door all the way), and broke the door stopper and the door creased the front fender, so that will need to be repaired - could possibly be popped back out. I still take it to shows like this, and being white it does not show too much until I point it out to people. I have provided MANY MANY detailed, close up photos below for full disclosure, so please allow them to load.

This is just a great looking Continental Mark II which you will be proud to own - nothing quite like a white Continental Mark II to show her beautiful body lines. I might consider trades - never know - I traded my Ferrari for this car several years back, so I'm open to trades. Really just a very elegant, understated car that gets compliments wherever it goes - from young and old alike.

Please see the many photos below. Email or Call, if you have any questions. Car is located outside of Fort Lauderdale, FL. I will not take less than the Buy it Now posted, so any emails offering less will be politely ignored. Call 630 - Two Four Four - Five Six Six Seven.

Below is the crease from when the door swung open and broke the door stopper.

Seal needs to be glued again:

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Bentley designer calls Lincoln Continental concept a Flying Spur 'copy' [w/poll]

Tue, Mar 31 2015

When you first laid eyes on the new Lincoln Continental concept, we'd wager you were likely impressed, because it's an impressive design. But if you also thought it looked familiar, you're in good company. According to Car Design News, design chief Luc Donckerwolke over at Bentley thinks the Lincoln concept bears more than a passing resemblance to another Continental: Bentley's own Flying Spur. "This behavior is not respectable. Building a copy like this is giving a bad name to the car design world," Donckerwolke told CDN, after posting some disparaging comments on Facebook and offering in jest to send over the tooling. "It is very disappointing, especially for an exclusive brand like Lincoln," added Sangyup Lee, his deputy for exterior design. The irony is further entrenched by the name, which Bentley only dropped from its Flying Spur in its latest iteration but still uses for the coupe and convertible models. Both automakers have a deeply routed history with the nameplate, but Lincoln's stretches back further, having first used the handle in 1939 before Bentley did in 1952. However it's not the nameplate that's the subject of controversy here, rather the design of the vehicle to which it's applied. So what do you think, did Lincoln borrow too heavily from its British counterpart? Related Video:
