Easy SZ, this is one of my favorite cars ever and was on my list of cars to nominate myself sometime. I love this thing, amazing how it's one of the best looking American cars of the '50s despite a lack of tailfins. I've seen a couple in person at shows, they're really imposing and awesome.
 
Very nice! Though I don't know much about this car, I'll go Sub-Zero, but a low Sub-Zero. It's more than cool to me with its stance and elegant, charming lines.

Some people don’t realize how high end this car was. Continental was Ford’s halo brand. The base MSRP for this car was a few hundred dollars shy of $10,000. Obviously making it Ford Motor Company’s most expensive car at the time. You could have bought four or five decently equipped Ford Fairlanes for the Price of one Mark II.
