Portfolio relating to Continental Mark II Design, "X-1500 Design Studies," circa 1953
01
Artifact Overview
William Clay Ford, youngest child of Edsel Ford, championed the Continental Mark II as a tribute to his father's original Lincoln Continental introduced for 1940. Elegant and understated, the Mark II avoided the excessive chrome brightwork typical of the 1950s. The car arrived in showrooms for 1956, but disappointing sales ended production after the 1957 model year.
