No doubt, a timeless classic. Still looks fantastic all these years later.

The car dose look good but in my Opinion, and everyone knows I like to give it. Some of the other drawings looked better. :)

It is sweet, to be sure. These were so far before my generation, though, that I never came to appreciate them until much later. When I was a kid, a lady at our church had a 1975 Mark IV, robin's egg blue with white top and interior. Now back in those days a Lincoln was a Lincoln and a Cadillac was a Cadillac, but it was definitely something more special. Looking forward to this 50's Mark II, I see where such elegance and understatement got it's start.

After watching the production techniques that went into building EVERY one of those cars...I want one!!!
The only way to get a hand built car like that now is to get a Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or some other super car way out of the realm of possible purchases for mere mortals.

what a wonderful car the mark ii were. i especially love santa standing by as the rolls out of a deep freeze.

i read somewhere that ford lost money on the mark ii almost $1,000.

thanks for video pro, it was an enjoyable piece of history

Very nice car. Seeing it in person only magnifies its mystique.
