1956 Continental Mark II Navigation
Much of the Continental Mark II assembly was done by hand which meant it had a slow-moving production line. It was very expensive and as such, volume was low and it was not a major moneymaker for Ford. It was, however, their flagship vehicle and served as their re-entry into the luxury car field. Between 1956 and 1957, a mere 2,894 examples were produced.
Standard equipment included power steering, power brakes, Turbo-Drive automatic, power seat, white wall tires, radio, and heater. The only real option available was the factory air conditioning and this car is equipped with that feature. This car is finished in Dubonnet Burgundy with white leather interior with burgundy inserts, piping and carpeting. It has been given a professional restoration and remains in superb condition in modern time.
In 2008, the car was brought to the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by the Worldwide Auctioneers. It was estimated to sell for $90,000 - $110,000. Bidding failed to reach those estimates and the lot was left unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2008
