This car has been in storage for over 28 years and is in great condition. As mentioned, the only
visible defects are a 4 hairline crack on the corner of the windshield glass, and a crack in the corner of the
driver’s window, but we are including the replacement glass for this crack in the trunk, so this should not be
considered a problem. This vehicle has up-to-date California title.

Here is some fascinating additional information regarding the Continental Mark II brand:

The Continental Mark II is a personal luxury car that was produced by Continental in 1956 and 1957. An attempt to
build a post-World War II car to rival the greatest of the pre-War era, or anything produced in Europe, it is
regarded as a rare and elegant classic. The new Continental was not intended to be the largest or most powerful
automobile; rather, the most luxurious and elegant American car available, designed to recapture the spirit of the
great classics of the prewar period with prices to match. There was something of the style of the early Ford
Thunderbird at the front, which was introduced earlier at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954, with a
tasteful egg-crate grille; a long, curving hood; and straight fenders to the headlights. The fender line went back
to behind the doors, at which point the line kicked up a little before curving back down to the taillights. Little
chrome was used compared to other vehicles of the time, and the only two-tone paint combinations offered were
limited to roofs being contrasted with bodies. The car had power steering, power brakes, power windows, power
seats, power vent windows, and a tachometer. The vanes on the wheel covers were individually bolted inside the
frame of the cover. It sported a high greenhouse and a wraparound windscreen. Fueling was accomplished via a swing
away left taillight. The Continental Mark II had only one option, air conditioning, for $595. Cars with A/C had
different body parts. Most of the car was hand-built to an exacting standard, including the application of multiple
coats of paint, hand sanding, double lacquering, and polishing to perfection. From today's vantage point, it can be
argued that the Continental Mark II was successful at being what it was intended to be: an American Rolls-Royce or
Bentley, and a re-creation of the grand cars of the thirties. Today, approximately half of the original 3,000 cars
still exist.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Lincoln Zephyr for China puts brand back in the sedan game

Fri, Nov 19 2021

Lincoln abandoned the sedan segment in the United States, but its Chinese division isn't ready to pivot toward a range made up exclusively of high-riding models. It has introduced a sedan named Zephyr at the Guangzhou Auto Show that was developed solely for China and will be manufactured locally. If the name sounds familiar, you're either well-versed in the history of American luxury cars or you've been keeping up with the news lately. Lincoln's original Zephyr was a stately, V12-powered model available in several different body styles and sold between 1936 and 1942. More recently, the nameplate appeared on a thinly-veiled concept introduced in Shanghai as a preview of the production-bound model. Unsurprisingly, the sedan has changed little in its transition from a design study to a series-produced car. It gained bigger and more realistic-looking headlights and a redesigned front end, and it grew a pair of conventional door mirrors (the concept was fitted with cameras). Out back, the bumper gets a new look and the lighting elements have changed, though the light bar is still oddly reminiscent of the Audi A7. What hasn't been tweaked are the Zephyr's proportions: It's sleek, fastback-like, and one of Lincoln's best-looking modern sedans. "Every detail from the inside out is crafted based on a deep understanding of our young Chinese clients," said Mao Jingbo, president of Lincoln's Chinese division. This is an interesting statement; Lincoln is targeting a clientele that, on our side of the Pacific, isn't typically found inside of one of its showrooms or seen behind the wheel of a sedan. To that end, the interior gains a tremendous amount of technology including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 27-inch touchscreen that takes up the entire dashboard. We know that the Zephyr offers Lincoln's largest puddle lights (which are referred to as a Welcome Mat), four Relaxing Modes, several "digital scents," and a 128-color ambient lighting system. What we don't know much about is what's under the hood: The only specifications released by the firm outlines a 2.0-liter engine, presumably a four-cylinder, that's bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Lincoln will begin selling the Zephyr on the Chinese market in the first quarter of 2022. The sedan will be built in China as well, which is a first that the company is proud of. And nothing suggests it will be sold outside of its home market — let alone in the United States.
