The Continental name was revived in 1955 as a separate Ford brand, with its sole model being the Continental Mark II. This version was a unique design with the highest quality control ever seen in the automobile industry. High-class luxury abound in the new Continental and with very limited availability, Continental in the 50' was one of the most expensive cars in the world with a cost of $10,000, it rivaled Rolls-Royce. The Continental was affordable by only the world's wealthiest, became almost mythical and was sold to the rich and famous. Anyone who could afford the cost was welcome. Famous buyers included Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Louie Prima, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Spike Jones, Nelson Rockefeller, Henry J. Kaiser, Howard Johnson, Henry Kissinger, the Shah of Iran, and many other celebrities owned them. The Continental division was dissolved after 1957, but in an attempt to retain some of the cachet of the Mark II, Lincoln named its top-of-the-line 1958 model the Continental Mark III. This differed from the lower-model full-size Lincoln only in trim level and in its roof treatment, featuring a reverse-angle power rear "breezeway" window that retracted down behind the back seat. The 1958 Lincoln was longer, wider and heavier than any American production car ever built. It was designed to make a statement, larger than that year's Cadillac and had styling considered by many to be excessive even in that decade of styling excess. There aren't many of them existing in modern time.
