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

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.
