I happened to come across a YouTube video of a 57 Lincoln Premiere, during the presentation, the car was started by turning the key to the ON position and when the gear shift was put into neutral, the starter engaged. I had no idea that's how a 57 Lincoln started. To start my 56 Mark, I place the gear shift into neutral and turn the key. Did any Mark II start the same way as the 57 Lincoln? Here is a link to the video. The start up is about 6 minutes into the presentation.
