14.05.2020

Called "white whale" - probably it is clear why :)

The car comes from Connecticut, from quiet town Orange. It inherited its name after Prince William III, who used the title prince from Orange and this is connection to sovereignty of possession principality of Orange in South France. Where did such a name roamed, didn´t it? Previous owner student Kevin Thomas is a relative of engineer, who worked on the construction building of the sculpture, which you well know from the Liberty Island. Yes, we mean the Statue of Liberty. Grandfather Mr. John Frederic cooperated on the construction of the statue and he is captured on many photographs printed for example in the New York Historical Society magazines, on what refer Mr. Kevin...  And what about the Continental? In the year 1922 Mr. Ford bought the whole Lincoln division. He paid 8 million Dollars and this mark he used for a luxury part of his production. Mr. Edsel, son of Mr. Ford had from the director position build in 1939 a car with custom bodywork. He used a chassis from the Lincoln Zephyr and the car has been called Lincoln Continental I and it was a ground for the whole Continental family. The name Continental refers to a European, so continental’s cars. IN the 1965 was the name promoted to a self division, which come with a legendary Continental Mark II. This one is exhibited in our museum as well. In 1956 was the whole division Continental absorbed by the Lincoln and model Mark III, Mark IV from 1958 and 1959 you could to buy under the Lincoln mark and under the Continental as well. The differences wasn´t big, they were mostly in roof and rear window area. Our car is marked like the Continental.

Who wouldn't want to ride such a beautiful car...
