Here is a pic of a '56 taken in my retired Mechanic friend's garage. He was working out several engine issues on the 368. It was one of the neatest cars I have ever seen. 2 door coup that gave the idea of a stretched T'bird. Really the only thing better I've come accross is a '42 Cadillac that recently showed up locally.

My question would be, which forum would you go to if you had a '52 or '53 Lincoln. Those had OHV V8's, so they dont fit in the 53 & older forum. Those guys are all about flatheads.

Agree, this forum. Lot of Y Block chatter, not just flatties. Lincoln " Y-block " would fit right in.

I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my '56 Continental Mark II. This was my mother's car which was completely restored in the mid-70's.

These were really neat cars for 1956. I think it would have been cool if Ford built some of these with a 4 speed on the floor.

They are right up there in my book too. Thanks for the pics Gary. Apparently each one was hand made. Little tasks like removing transmission is a major chore.

On my classic car awhile back, Dennis Gage did a show on that car, I think he wet his pants.
