1956 Continental
Mark II Convertible
This 1956 Continental Mark II convertible was converted by Hess and
Eisenhardt.
This is one of only two Continental Mark II convertibles the Ford Motor
Company had constructed. Unfortunately, this beautiful convertible didn't
make it into regular production.
Unlike the coupe, the design of the top on this convertible didn't
allow for rear quarter windows. This created a fairly large blind spot
in the drivers rearward vision.
The photo of this car next to a US Air Force Convair TF-102 A "Delta
Dagger" jet was taken at the Yankee Air Museum in Belleville,
MI.
In the photo below you can see the rigid metal boot for the convertible
top. The caps on the leading edges are fiberglass, although other original
caps were canvas.
The owner of this car has more pictures and information about it available
on another website.
