1956 Continental Mark II For Sale.  Excellent Driver Car - not a show car by any means, but a great car which presents itself very well and draws a crowd wherever it goes.

I have a 3 inch binder full of receipts for work done on the car - over $43,000.00 worth of receipts.  These cars are not cheap to fix or restore, so best to get one that has had most of the work done on it.  This car has had a LOT of little things done to it, which would nickel and dime you to death on a car needing a restoration.  Chrome work is excellent, hubcaps excellent, as is most of the car.  Underside of car is very solid and rust free, and has not been undercoated or caked over to cover any rust issues - car has been a Florida and Georgia car, and is very solid. 

Original Town and Country radio has been converted to am/fm - maintaining the original look.  Factory A/C car - blows cool sometimes, but not for long so it will need some attention.  Car drives great, and I try to take it every month to a show 150+ miles round trip from me to stretch her legs.  Car is driven weekly to keep all fluids circulating - it is leaking some oil when parked.  Lot of work has been done on this car, but like most old cars, it will always need a thing or two.

Paint is about 15 years old and is starting to show some wear/cracks in spots, but everyone tells me she still looks beautiful.  Panels in front will need to be re-aligned (this is a very common issue with these cars), but still looks good.  Driver door swung open on me taking a sharp right turn while going downhill (I didn't close the door all the way), and broke the door stopper and the door creased the front fender, so that will need to be repaired - could possibly be popped back out.  I still take it to shows like this, and being white it does not show too much until I point it out to people.  I have provided MANY MANY detailed, close up photos below for full disclosure, so please allow them to load.  


This is just a great looking Continental Mark II which you will be proud to own - nothing quite like a white Continental Mark II to show her beautiful body lines.  I might consider trades - never know - I traded my Ferrari for this car several years back, so I'm open to trades.  Really just a very elegant, understated car that gets compliments wherever it goes - from young and old alike.

Please see the many photos below.  Email or Call, if you have any questions.  Car is located outside of Fort Lauderdale, FL.  I will not take less than the Buy it Now posted, so any emails offering less will be politely ignored.  Call 630 - Two Four Four - Five Six Six Seven.



Below is the crease from when the door swung open and broke the door stopper.

Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan

Tue, 09 Apr 2013


The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.

Lincoln, GMC clean up in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

In recent years, there have been a lot of dire pronouncements made about Lincoln's future, or a lack thereof. But Ford's premium marque is like the Rocky Balboa of the auto business; every time the company seems ready to go, it comes back for more. Apparently, that dogged persistence is paying off, because the industry analysts at AutoPacific have put a big check in their win column with their newly released 2014 model year vehicle satisfaction survey. And despite recent enmity for its seemingly never-ending recall saga, it appears General Motors knows how to satisfy new owners, too.
In fact, not only was Lincoln named as the premium brand with the highest new owner satisfaction, even scored three models on the list of passenger cars with the most gratified buyers - the MKS, MKZ and MKZ Hybrid.
GM's stable of brands was also among the top companies in this year's survey. GMC was named the top popular brand by AutoPacific, with its Sierra pickup and Acadia crossover singled out for awards in their segments. Chevrolet also did incredibly well, with more cars on the list than any other brand. The Corvette, Camaro, Sonic and Impala all made the cut in their respective categories.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
