Artifact Overview
Designed in the tradition of the Lincoln Continentals of 1940-1948, the Continental Mark II debuted for 1956. This sales brochure emphasized the car's understated elegance and exclusive availability. But limited production plus a $10,000 price tag equaled disappointing sales. Production ended after the 1957 model year.
