I’m conflicted on this one. The Mark II looks fantastic, far better than the Premiere, but I suspect the Premiere is the better driver. Despite that, I go with the Continental Mark II.

This is a challenging comparison. If I put sticker price, prestige and iconic status into the mix The MK. II wins; but focus on design pizzaz and attractiveness the Premiere HT wins. It really is a tie for me for reasons stated but I hate ties so I'm going on simply which car would make me happiest day to day, parked in my driveway or garage and used for Sunday drives.....and the nod goes to the gorgeous Lincoln Premiere.

The elegant Mk II please, although the Premier is gorgeous as well.

@jack-dodds I’ve always liked the looks of the Continental Mark ll, it reminds me of a pumped up T-Bird. I don’t care much for the Premier but it doe’s have that cool Batmobile face!

Mark ll all the way. What an amazing car. And I love the Premiere too.

MK ll, I think it still looks handsome whereas the Lincoln looks dated to me.

Tough choice, but the Continental MK II wins out today. The simplicity of its design is timeless.

Diabolical! Masochistic 'which'!!
I can identify with each answer above - no wrong answer on this one. If I can't have both, which one can I NOT live without? Mark II.

I just prefer the looks of the Premiere.

The Premiere IMO is one of the most beautiful designs ever. At half the price of the Mark II, I'll take two Premieres, one coupe in Coral with A/C and a convertible in Wisteria. My bet is that the Premiere would attract more attention than the Mark II any day, any where.

We had a Mark II show up at our 4/4 Cars and Coffee. So elegant and restrained.
