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.

LA Auto Show recap
Lincoln says MKZ supply crisis over
Mon, 25 Mar 2013After 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.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
