One Of Ford's Best Cars Ever

Here's a magazine ad for the 1956 Continental Mark II, one of the greatest cars ever put out by the Ford Motor Company.

That was when Ford set up Continental as a separate make, with this car set to be priced at the truly upper-level of the automotive market, beyond Cadillac, Lincoln, Imperial, and even Packard.

By 1960, the Continental Division was dissolved and the cars were folded into Lincoln.
