It is listed in the Continental Registration. Gorgeous luxury classic you won't want to miss!. The 1956 Continental is renowned as one of the most beautiful cars created in the 1950's. They were built under the "Continental" division of Ford and under the direction of William Clay Ford, who was Henry Ford II's younger brother. When released the price tag was a whopping $9,966, limiting its audience to the well-heeled. Today, it still shows as an amazing luxury vehicle.. Ford created the Continental Mark II to refresh its styling from the 1940's and present it as the company's "image" car. It was the first time that a car used the "modern perimeter frame" in its build which created a lower center of gravity, better handling, and a more headroom - without needing to raise the roofline. With the addition of the new Multi-Drive automatic transmission, Ford no longer needed GM branded transmissions in their vehicles. Only 2,550 1956 Mark II's were produced.
