Continental Mark II
The late,great Stan Kann had many collector cars over the years.I was fortunate to visit Stan on a trip to see Tom in the pre museum days.There were vacs in the basement and in the garage was--a Continental Mark II!It was just barely in the garage as with the door closed there was about 3/4 of an inch to spare in Stans 1920s garage.They were an amazing and still modern car.It is said that the Mk II hood ornament cost more to make than an entire Ford grill.There have been 2 at our weekly April-October cruise in over the years.I have known of 2 within 30 miles that were purchased new locally.After 1957 Continentals might be best forgotten until 1961 and the first of many great 60s cars.
