Just 2,550 examples of the Continental Mark II were delivered in 1956 and 444 the following year. At $10,000 each, the Mark II was the most expensive American car in 1956.
This Continental Mark II is finished in white over a white/deep red leather interior (1B6M). It was optioned from the factory with air conditioning, one of the few options available on these well-appointed vehicles. It wears a set of chrome turbine wheels wrapped with whitewall tires. The engine bay indicates that the vehicle was previously treated to a high-quality restoration.
Power is from a 368 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a three-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2022
