1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II - Black (YatMing) 1/18 - 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, Yat Ming, 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Car

When the 1961 Lincoln Continental was introduced the automotive trade press was stunned. The car's look was a dramatic departure from the styling of the 1960 Lincoln - in fact, it was a complete break from the fins, fat chrome trim and dog-legged windshields which were so characteristic of all cars of the prior five years. It did show some hints of fine cars of the past - the Continental Mark II influence could be seen in the mesh grille, the wraparound taillight design and the rise in beltline just ahead of the rear wheel cutout.

The new Lincoln Continental was a clean, elegant design which influenced the look of many of the cars of the 60's. Car Life magazine awarded the Lincoln Continental its 1961 Engineering Excellence Award. 1961 was the first year that the names Lincoln and Continental were used together for a non-Mark series sedan. The '61 was offered only with 4 doors - as a sedan or a convertible Itoriginally sold for $6,067 and weighed almost 5000 pounds. The car was powered by a big 430 cubic inch V-8.
