The pinnacle of handcrafted, high-dollar Detroit elegance, the 1956 Continental Mark II was Ford’s ultra-exclusive, $10,000 personal luxury flagship built to stand toe-to-toe with Rolls-Royce.
Powered by a blue-printed, hand-selected 368 ci Lincoln Y-block V8 pushing 285 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque, mated to a silky 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic for dead-silent, torque-heavy highway cruising.
Pure understated restraint—eschewing chrome clutter and wild fins for clean, European-inspired proportions, a long hood, short deck, and the iconic molded rear decklid housing the integrated spare tire hump.
