1956 Continental Mark II
Long appreciated for timeless design, the short-lived 1956–1957 Continental was the epitome of luxury and style. The classic profile with its simulated rear spare was reminiscent of its Lincoln Continental predecessor. Ford established a separate Continental division from Lincoln to add exclusivity to the largely hand-built marque. At $10,000 per copy, the Mark II was the most expensive American car in 1956, resulting in just 2,550 examples delivered that year and 444 in 1957. Ford reportedly lost money on each car sold.
