Debuting at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955, the Continental Mark II was the de facto flagship for Ford Motor Company during its two years of production. While a spiritual successor to the 1939-1948 Lincoln Continental, Ford elected to create a separate division for their most expensive model, simply called “Continental”. Positioned against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley Continental, the resulting vehicle was priced at $9, 966 – easily the most expensive vehicle produced in America until GM responded with the Eldorado Brougham in 1957.
Naturally, buyers of the new, ultra-exclusive, largely hand-built model enjoyed nearly every conceivable amenity as standard. In fact, the order sheets included only a single extra-cost option: air conditioning for $595. However, buyers were offered a plethora of paint options and interior materials. Such was the immense cost of production, it is estimated Ford lost nearly $1, 000 on each vehicle. It is no surprise, then, Ford cancelled both the car and the marque after the 1957 model year and a grand total of 3, 005 were completed. Today, these cars are vaunted for their incredible build quality and superb driving experience.
