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.

Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

After an excessive number of recalls on the 2013 Escape and Fusion, we can't really fault Ford for being a little extra cautious with the launch of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Last month, we reported that dealer supply of the car was extremely limited due to more attention being paid to quality checks of cars rolling off the assembly line, which led to a 73-percent drop in MKZ sales from last year on top of a 32-year low in monthly sales for Lincoln in January.
The reason for the delay was that the sedans were being shipped from the Hermosillo, Mexico assembly plant to be inspected even closer at Ford's Flat Rock, Michigan plant before they were able to head to dealers. Things seem to be straightening out for Lincoln and the MKZ's production now, as Automotive News is reporting that supply should be up to a "normal level" by the end of this month.

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving

Fri, 10 Jan 2014



In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
