1956 Lincoln Continental

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this elegant 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, one of the most prestigious luxury automobiles ever produced by an American manufacturer. Finished in a timeless white exterior over a beautifully restored tan interior, this Continental embodies the craftsmanship, sophistication, and exclusivity that made the Mark II an automotive icon. With only 2,550 examples produced, this is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of American automotive history. Developed as Lincoln's flagship model, the Mark II was designed to rival the world's finest luxury automobiles. Every car was hand-finished with exceptional attention to detail, emphasizing understated elegance over flashy styling. Today, it remains one of the most admired luxury cars of the 1950s, celebrated for its timeless design and impeccable build quality. Power comes from the factory-original 368 cubic-inch V8 producing approximately 300 horsepower, paired with its original 3-speed automatic transmission. Factory power steering and power brakes provide an effortless driving experience, making this classic just as enjoyable to cruise today as it was nearly seventy years ago. The vehicle retains its original drivetrain, offering an authentic driving experience that reflects Lincoln's engineering excellence. Inside, the cabin has undergone a complete interior restoration while preserving the luxurious feel expected of a Continental Mark II. The factory power seat remains functional, while the heater core has been replaced and heater/air conditioning shut-off valves have been installed in the heater water lines. Under the hood, the original 368 cubic-inch V8 remains in a factory-style engine bay, with many of the vehicle's original vacuum-operated systems still intact. Whether displayed at concours events, enjoyed on weekend cruises, or added to a distinguished collection, this 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II represents one of the finest examples of mid-century American luxury. Its rarity, craftsmanship, and elegant styling continue to make it one of the most respected classics of its era.
