01
Artifact Overview
Designed in the tradition of the Lincoln Continentals of 1940-1948, the Continental Mark II debuted for 1956. Advertisements celebrated the car's understated look, its responsive handling, and its high build quality. But the Mark II's $10,000 price tag was beyond the reach of most buyers. Production ended after the 1957 model year.
