My Grandfather, owned a 1954 Chrysler Imperial 2 Door with a Hemi Engine, similar to this Car in shape and design. It was a big heavy Car. He called it "the Machine." He was an Immigrant from Italy who worked his entire life in San Francisco as a Tailor making Custom Suits for Men. He lived to age 100.

@@VoloMuseumAutoSales I think he had that one for about 2 years. He loved to buy classic "drivers" and fix/restore/detail them, and sell them to people who promised to keep them original. I worked on probably 200+ cars for him over the years. Yes, same color, and had A/C - I didn't notice if yours had A/C or not, I couldn't see it.

From Wikipedia: "the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($6,000 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($10,100 today) for every unit produced. In place of style or outright performance, to justify its exclusive price, Ford Motor Company sought to market the Continental model line as the highest-quality American automobile; in line with the coachbuilt cars of the 1930s, the Mark II was largely hand-built. While sharing its design with the standard Lincoln model line, each Continental Mark II engine was effectively factory-blueprinted; after selection from the Lincoln assembly line, the engine was disassembled and reassembled after numerous quality-control and performance inspections. Each of the four wheel covers was hand-assembled with individually fastened vanes; each letter of "Continental" was individually bolted onto the trunklid. As American leather was sprayed vs vat dyed, Bridge of Weir leather (imported from Scotland) was used throughout the interior; as Continental felt the results were better-wearing, the leather used the Vat dye process and was dyed in the United States. While metallic-style exterior paints had become popular on 1950s American luxury cars, durability concerns forced Continental to adapt lacquer-based paint colors (the first Ford Motor Company vehicle to do so). During the development of the Continental division by Ford Special Products, Ford Motor Company sought to develop the most stringent quality control programs ever seen in the American automotive industry, coming up with seven major initiatives for Continental. The quality control program included all employees at the assembly facility, from assembly workers to upper management. In one instance, a transporter truck of Mark IIs was returned to the factory as a gate security guard noticed a paint defect on one vehicle. Today, approximately half of the original circa 3,000 cars still exist in various states of repair; an active Mark II Forum exists. Prices range between $25,000 for a running example in poor repair to $240,000 in concours condition.

There was a reason for the price - it needs a lot of additional expensive work to put it in show condition.

I see that this car does not have air conditioning. it seems odd that someone who could afford to buy a $10,000.00 car n 1956, which is roughly equivalent in car inflation ro $225,000.00, why not pay the extra $500.00 for AC?

It is called "Mark II green." for some reason the plastic and pigments used in Mark II steering wheels make them all change to that greenish color over the years.
