Welcome to the Classic Car Center!  To assure the winning bidder that the vehicle is all that they expected, we provide a satisfaction guaranty to the buyer:  if on personal inspection you decide that you do not want the vehicle for any reason, you don’t have to buy it!  Please see the material in blue print at the end of this description for the full details of our Buyer Satisfaction policy.  Now to the details on this fully restored Continental Mark II coupe.

 A 1957 Continental Mark II that will Impress You—and Everyone Else!

 The hand-built 1957 Continental MK IIs are among the most highly sought after luxury classics.  This car is a particularly nice example of this limited production coupe that was Ford’s flagship vehicle and resided in a famed Branson, Missouri museum until it was purchased and re-commissioned four years ago:

·       Nicely Restored

·       368 cid/300 hp engine

·       Great paint/great interior

·       Air Conditioning

·       1 of 444 built

 For those who like to decode VINs, there is attached a picture of the VIN plate.  That number is C56P3572.

An Exceptional Example!

·       Paint and Chrome

  This Mark II underwent a high-quality respray in its original Gray Lucite. Its lustrous finish has a deep shine and looks almost showroom-fresh.

The chrome and stainless are in excellent condition and nicely compliment the paint. 

And, the body and underside of the car appear to be free of rust and/or corrosion. 

·       Interior

  The seat upholstery is black leather.  The front seat was totally redone and the rear seat is in good condition.  The door panels are also in very good condition as is the dash. The headliner is in good condition as is the carpeting. 

·       Engine

  The engine is the 368 cubic inch V-8 that was rated at 300 hp for the 1957 model.  The engine starts right up and provides ample power for this 5,000 lb. ultra-luxury automobile.

·       Transmission

The transmission is the Turbo-Drive 3-speed automatic. It shifts properly as befits such a car.

·       Comfort and Safety Systems

  From the leather seats to the all power components (windows, brakes, seat, steering), this air conditioned Mark II is all that you would expect.

A couple of minor items will need attention (license light, instrument lights, radio and driver’s vent window). 

An Exceptional Example of one of Ford’s Iconic Continental Mark II hand built Flagship

 This Mark II is one of the truly collectible luxury cars made in America.  Limited in production, these hand-built cars were so special to Ford Motor Company that they were given an entirely new marque: Continental, that were sold exclusively through Lincoln dealers.  This is a great example of that seldom-seen marque that will be equally at home at car shows or the country club.  It is also a car that is certain to appreciate due to the quality of the construction, the condition of this particular car and the very low production numbers.   Stop by and see this rare car or make an appointment for your inspector and/or banker to examine it.
