I have always wanted a 1956 Continental Mark II. It has always looked amazing and to this day still does. Thanks!

The picture of the Queen and Prince Phillip in Canada in 1959 sure looks like a Cadillac.

I remember seeing a Cadillac station wagon in 1958 in a caddie showroom. $10,000 I believe.

The beautiful black convertible (thid car shown) was either a 'Dual Ghia" or a 'Facel Vega" ! , I cannot remember which , both cars were sold to a select few.

But were these grand luxury cars built as well as the best European cars (Rolls, Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Bristol etc) or were they just "loaded"with extras and had elegant styling?
