SOLD
Description
Recommissioned out of a long ownership collection, with the restoration completed 15 years ago. Only 444 were built in 1957, and only 98 with factory optional AC. At the time, the AC option cost an additional $595 — the equivalent of $6,682 today.
1957 was the final year of the two-year run. With a price tag of over $10k, these were the most expensive cars built in the US at that time, competing with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley Continental.
The car came with a very rare Continental Mark II brochure used by the Continental Division of the Ford Motor Company, titled “The Continental Story,” which tells of the development and engineering behind the Mark II.
For context on where these sit: a 1957 Mark II sold at auction for $440,000, and Hagerty’s valuation for a car in excellent condition is $88,900, plus 10% for factory AC — $97,790.
