1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II — Exceptional Original Condition | 44,000 Miles. One of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Finisht in Presidential Black over original gray / red cloth - red carpets. Original, not customised. All instruments operate in good order. 

An icon of American automotive design and refinement, this 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II represents one of the most exclusive automobiles of its era. Produced in extremely limited numbers by Ford’s dedicated Continental Division, the Mark II was conceived as a hand-finished luxury motorcar positioned above Cadillac and comparable in prestige to the finest European marques of the period.

This example presents in outstanding technical and cosmetic condition, carefully preserved while retaining its authentic character and originality.

The car benefits from an original mileage of just 44,000 miles, supported by its remarkable overall presentation. The factory cloth interior remains entirely original and has never been replaced, preserved in exceptional condition with beautiful patina and correct materials throughout, a rarity among surviving examples.

The elegant exterior finish is complemented by excellent chrome work, correct detailing and a highly refined appearance consistent with a well-maintained and cherished automobile.

Mechanically, the vehicle performs as intended. All major systems function properly, offering the quiet, composed driving experience for which the Continental Mark II became renowned.

Equipment & Features

As expected from one of the most expensive American production cars of the 1950s, the Mark II was exceptionally well equipped:

• Power windows (fully operational)
• Electrically adjustable front bench seat
• Power-assisted steering
• Power brakes
• Factory Town & Country radio
• Electric antenna (functions perfectly)
• Heater and ventilation system
• Courtesy lighting package
• Full instrumentation with aircraft-inspired dashboard layout
• Signature Continental spare wheel compartment (“Continental kit” trunk design)

All electrical options,  including windows, seat adjustment and radio are functioning correctly.

Background

Each Mark II was largely hand assembled and sold through a separate Continental dealership network. Production costs famously exceeded the retail price, underscoring Ford’s ambition to create the finest American luxury automobile of its time.

Today, the Mark II is appreciated as a true design object, understated, architectural and increasingly sought after by collectors worldwide.

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly original and beautifully preserved Continental Mark II in excellent condition, combining authenticity, exclusivity and timeless presence.

Available for viewing by appointment, the car is located in Amsterdam the Netherlands, 5 minutes from Schiphol airport.
