The 1956-1957 Lincoln Continental Mark II was the mid-'50s successor to the original Continental of the '40s. It was magnificently styled by a team including John Reinhart, William Clay Ford, and Gordon Buehrig. Engineer Harley Copp's unique "cowbelly" frame dipped low to permit high seating without a tall body.

With Multi-Drive three-speed automatic and a balanced, individually tested Lincoln V-8, the Mark II was marketed as an image leader intended to steal Cadillac's thunder in the ultra-luxury class.

Despite beautiful styling, it didn't sell well, probably because its price was so close to the (then) breathtaking $10,000 mark.


Im selling this for a 79 year old man that owns the business next to me and wants to sell some of his toys....more to be listed 57 chevy with 30k miles,  65 impala convertible, 65 jeepster.

He had this car since 1970 and put it on jackstands in heated storage in 1986 until about 2 weeks ago when fresh gas a new battery and it drove 18 miles here and I drove it around also.  Runs great idles great and everything is here as if it was still 1956.  title is clear and what a cool rare car.   IT has a huge 368 v8 with 285 horsepower and luxurious interior.   Tires are still great with no dry rot and car is a cool barn find that has no rust whatsoever.   They only made 1550 in 1956 and then 1000 in 1957 and that was it so there aren't many left.  The only ones I could find from googling 1956 Lincoln mark 2 for sale were $59,000 and more.   I can tell you I was shocked at the number he told me to put the reserve at because I think this car hasn't even truly hit its value yet.   The car is huge and the body lines make you drool.

The owner does have many parts for it like the spare tire and spare tire cover, new fins for hub cap where 3 were bent (all mounted separate...crazy)

I put the car on the hoist here at work and I think these would be the necessary items to get it to be a cool driver that would take you anywhere.

Heater core appears to be leaking

mufflers need to be replaced

Brakes will need to be worked on (cut drums from sitting)

Change oil and go.

The paint is original and cracking on top and faded pretty good and it appears somebody at one point repainted the sides to get the shine back.   I totally thought this car was going to be T-bird size but its absolutely huge and amazing.  Two tone leather that is showing its signs and some strange colored carpet.   This would be the ultimate parade/cruise car.  

Shipping is available but be prepared with fuel prices that within the States it will probably be $800-$1100.  Ill get quotes or you can and we will assist loading.

Any questions ill try to answer or ill get the info from him but you have to scream at him in order for him to hear.

Thanks and happy bidding

High-tech, remote-controlled Golden Sahara II custom car going for auction

Mon, Mar 19 2018

Imagine a vehicle with automatic braking, remote operation, self-opening doors and a big screen on the dash. You're probably imaging a Tesla Model X, but we're actually talking about a car called the Golden Sahara II, a custom car originally built in the 1950s, and it's going for auction at Mecum's event in Indianapolis. According to Mecum, this custom car started out as a 1953 Lincoln Capri owned by George Barris, the man who created the original Batmobile. He didn't have it long before it ended up in a crash that led him to use it for a major custom project. He teamed up James Skonzakes, known as Jim Street, to create and pay for the build. In 1954, the car was finished with wild body work, actual 24-karat gold-plated exterior trim and a pearlescent gold paint created from fish scales. It carried the name of Golden Sahara, and it cost $25,000 to build. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In 1956, Street decided to invest a whole lot more into the car. He sent it to a shop in Dayton, Ohio where it was fitted with a myriad of high-tech features. These included a central control stick that could operate the throttle, steering and braking, push-button steering controls on the dashboard for both the driver and the passenger, a remote control for moving it slowly and for opening the doors. It had sonar antennae at the front for automatic braking, a TV in the center stack, a radio, a phone, and even a cocktail cabinet in the back and mink carpeting. All of these features were on display when Street appeared with the car on the TV show I've Got a Secret, seen above, as well as in a period news story in which Street's wife demonstrated the features including the light-up wheels and tires for turn signals. That clip is visible below. The total cost of the car, now called Golden Sahara II, was $75,000. Adjusted for inflation, that's nearly $700,000. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Eventually, Street stopped showing the Golden Sahara II, but he never got rid of it. It was recently found in his garage, and the car will finally go for auction in May at Mecum's Indianapolis auction. The car will be sold in unrestored condition, which looks to be fairly rough, but savable. It appears the remotes are still there, too. The car will be auctioned with no reserve, so it will have a new owner.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
