1956 Continental Mark II Publicity Photograph and Press Release
01
Artifact Overview
Ford's Continental Division built its Mark II to the highest standards. Parts were checked and re-checked, components were tested and re-tested, and employees were encouraged to report even slight defects. High quality meant high cost -- the Mark II was nearly $10,000 when the most expensive Lincoln was less than $5,000. Production lasted only through the 1956 and 1957 model years.
