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

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.

Ford recalls EcoBoost-powered F-150 and SUVs for brake fluid leak

Wed, Mar 23 2022

Ford is recalling approximately 280,000 trucks and SUVs equipped with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine to address a potential brake fluid leak. The recall covers the 2016-2017 Ford F-150, 2016-2017 Ford Expedition and the 2016-2017 Lincoln Navigator.  According to Ford's defect report, the issue stems from contamination in the brake fluid causing degradation or damage to the seals in the brake master cylinder, allowing fluid to escape. Ford says that braking performance is not immediately impacted by the leak, and owners may not realize there's a problem until a brake malfunction indicator appears in the cluster, accompanied by a chime.  "If the brake fluid in the reservoir is depleted to a predetermined level, the driver will receive an audible chime, message center alert, and red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the driver continues to operate the vehicle, the drive may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel, and increased pedal effort." "If a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, full braking function would remain in the rear wheel circuit. However, reduced brake function in the front wheels can extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash," Ford said.  The issue can be addressed with a replacement brake master cylinder, which Ford will install free of charge. Ford has already begun notifying dealers and will send notices to customers starting in April.  Recalls Ford Lincoln Ownership Safety Truck SUV
