From the Driver’s Seat - Our team’s personal take on what makes this classic stand out
THE ESSENTIALS
This 1957 Continental Mark II is a beautiful, restored example finished in Light Green over a two-tone Green leather interior and is in overall excellent condition! With only 444 produced in 1957, this is a rare Mark II, especially in its condition, having been restored in 2008 and showing 53,000 miles. The key features that separate this Mark II from others are its A/C, automatic headlight dimmer, and original color specifications. This Mark II is a beautiful example that is ready for shows and tours!
The Continental Mark II was produced by Ford’s short-lived Continental Division for just two model years, 2,550 in 1956 and 444 in 1957. These were largely hand-assembled and sold at a deliberate loss as Ford’s worldwide flagship, placing it directly above Cadillac and Packard in intent and price. This Mark II has a serial number ending in 3947, placing it within the last 50 Mark IIs produced. The Continental was originally sold by Park Motor Sales in New York with factory A/C and special-order paint. This Mark II was featured in the John and Isabell Fischer Vintage Lincoln Collection of Essex, Maryland. The Fischers acquired the Continental in 2007 from O.C. Welch Ford Lincoln Mercury and sold it in 2025. The Mark II quickly passed to the current owner in Arizona, who is a Lincoln enthusiast and collector.
The Mark II was fully restored in 2008 and presents in excellent overall condition. It is finished in paint code 20, Light Green Iridescent. Chrome and brightwork throughout are in excellent overall condition. The Mark II features wheel covers, whitewalls, and a spare in the Continental trunk. This Mark II is in overall excellent condition and is ready to be enjoyed!
The interior is finished in trim code 1C2D two-tone green leather and presents in excellent overall condition. The trim has Light Green seat biscuits, Medium Green bolsters, and Light Green welts. The carpet is in great condition. The Mark II has power windows that function well. The dashboard gauges are all functioning, including the speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature, oil pressure, ammeter, and fuel gauge. Air conditioning, heater, defrost, fan, and vents are all functioning. The clock and radio are not functioning. The interior is in overall excellent condition!
The Mark II has the 368ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor, paired with three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes. Brakes are drum front and rear. The Mark II was serviced at Purmotive in Cockeysville, Maryland in June 2025. This Mark II starts and drives great!
