1956 CONTINENTAL MK11 - AUCTION ENDING 15th FEBRUARY at 7pm. * The 1956 Continental MK 11 — A masterpiece of impeccable build quality, offering pure elegance along with raw power of an American Big Block V8. Crafted by Ford, the Continental MK11 stands as the epitome of luxury in the 1950’s, earning its title as the Ultimate car of its time. * This remarkable vehicle has a history of 5 discerning owners, three in America and two in Australia, and stands today in outstanding condition. The journey began with its first owner, who in 1990 sold it to an enthusiast who undertook a comprehensive nut & bolt Rotisserie restoration, investing $70,000+ in the process. The third American owner showcased the car at the Annual Lincoln & Continental Owners Club meet in 1999, where it impressively scored 96.5, the highest at the event. The first Australian owner in pursuit of the finest Continental MK 11 he could find, acquired this exceptional example we see here. With his professional background in painting and car building, the car was disassembled for a full inspection and restoration. The car a was painted in a stunning coat of House of Kolor – Custom White Cream paint, while the roof received a striking finish in Goldmine Pearl/Brandy Wine Kandy metallic. The vehicle also received a expertly crafted custom-designed grille, bespoke Billet wheels tailored specifically for this particular car and subtle custom modifications including frenched headlights, shaved handles and badges to enhance its already distinctive style. A factory-standard feature of note is the left-hand rear tail light, which is ingeniously designed to swivel away, revealing the hidden fuel filler. * A rare feature of this car is its ‘Ceiling’ Air-Conditioning system, a coveted addition from new that underscores its uniqueness. Complementing its ‘Ceiling’ Air-Conditioning are unique body scallops on each side, which not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also serve a functional purpose by drawing in air into the AC unit stored in the rear of the car, adding to the vehicle’s overall magnificence and uniqueness. * More Information & Video at the CHICANE AUCTIONS Website. * Visit www.chicaneauctions.com.au - REGISTER & BID NOW. * Inspections are welcome by appointment at our Melbourne Showroom. * Contact our office with any questions - (03) 9580 7369 * Chicane Auctions - Premium Classic Car Showroom Auctions. * = Line Break.
