This ruby red Continental Mkll really sparkles in a snowy background. I always loved these cars as a kid but for one reason or another I never could buy a used one. The closest I got was a transplant of the 368cid into my 1956 Mercury Montclair. Great engine!

A very lovely "not a Lincoln" Continental MKII in distinctive Dubonnet Red.  I'm grateful to have this one as they are actually quite rare now.  Only the Presidential Black version is still in decent supply.  My red one is modified in that the previous owner removed the rear side windows for that open hardtop look.  I think it looks much better.  If I wasn't so lazy, I'd post a pic.  I would like to do the same thing on my black version but I'm so mechanically inept, I'd end up destroying it.  🤣
