368-cid, 300-hp, V-8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, three-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with upper and lower control arms and coil springs, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and front disc, rear drum brakes. Wheelbase: 126-inches

This 1956 Lincoln Continental is finished in classic white with a complementing black and white interior. It has received an up-graded three-speed automatic transmission. Rivaling the Rolls-Royce as one of the most expensive cars in the world at the time, the 1956 Continental came fully-loaded with comfort and convenience features. This includes air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power front seat, power windows, Town and Country Radio, and wide whitewall tires with proper stainless steel wheel covers, which this car still retains.

This Continental has recently been part of a private museum and was originally acquired as a cornerstone for the collector. It is reported to drive very well and has been used around Southern California as a driver. The owner reports that the air conditioning system is in need of attention.
