| Rather than follow the American automobile
custom of introducing styling changes each year, the Continental conforms
to the European pattern of "design endurance", preserving its styling
features for several years. For this reason, the current Continental is
designated as "Mark II" rather than a 1956 or other model year.
The modern, formal styling of the Continental Mark II is characterized
by simplicity of line, dignity, and elegance. This styling concept is
different enough and advanced enough to endure over a longer period of
time without any loss of distinctiveness or appeal.
Four new iridescent colors are being made available- silver, gold,
blue, and green. These new Lucite lacquers provide exceptionally high
lustre and durability.
The Continental Mark II is produced under the direction of the
Company's Lincoln Division. |
