Continental Mark II - Wikipedia (874 words)
The Continental Mark II was a car produced by the newly formed Continental Division of the Ford Motor Company during 1956 and 1957.
Also in the mix was the other Continental, Bentley's, to which the car bore a reasonable resemblance both in looks (bar the front end) and in style.
From the vantage point of today we can say the Continental Mark II was successful at being what it was intended to be; an American Rolls-Royce or Bentley, and a recreation of the grand cars of the thirties.
