Mr. Robert Ratinoff has been a classic car collector his whole life. He's built such an extensive collection of prestige vehicles that Hollywood has made him the go to man for the best of the best in classic cars. Clients like Lady Gaga and James Franco still don't compare to the honor that it is to own one of Elizabeth Taylor's prized vehicles.
When Mrs. Taylor finished the film Giant Warner Bros. saw fit to gift her with one of the most exquisite cars that America has ever made. The 1956 Continental, America's Rolls Royce.
It's not a Lincoln, it's not a Ford... it's a Continental.
As always enjoy, share and SUBSCRIBE!

Happened upon your channel searching for a Delorean (not to buy) but to research into how they performed. Watching your video about the Back to the Future model, and then this video I can only say your talent is going very much unnoticed. The camera work is flawless, the use of light, both ambient and artifical is on point. The script dovetails into the video without either overpowering the other. Overlaid is a subtle sound track that you are aware of but does not distract. The editing is without a shadow very good indeed, almost akin to something such at The Shawshank Redemption. Although slight, I have subscribed and can only wish you all the success you deserve. As others have said, there are channels on KZbin with millions of subscribers that cannot hold a candle to your content, but I suppose they trade any desire to deliver quality content for subs. I will, if you'll allow, share your videos with people over here in The UK. Thank you for your time, skill, attention to detail, but above all for creating videos you believe in, as content such as this could not be made unless you had a need to fulfill your dream of sharing that which you hold dear with us.

Such a classy, beautiful old American car. Not too flashy, but definitely refined and unmatched in luxury at the time.

Fomco hit the nail on the head with this automobile. It is the most elegant vehicle of the time. Rolls was no competition to the Mk II. It is so understatedly beautiful. No other car in the world could or can compare.

The most beautifully designed car ever. Yes, the older American luxury cars floated along-like riding on a cloud.

When I was 13, my nexr door neighbor had one and that was the first time I evet fell in love with an automobile. I am 72 now and I still think that is one of the most beautiful cars ever.

1956 was the era of big fins and rhino tusk grills. The Continental styling is about 4 years ahead of it's time.

I saw this car in person during Monterrey Week in 2013. It was parked on the main drag in Carmel with a placard describing its history. Even in this environment, with nothing but beautiful cars up and down the street, this car stood out.

Generally speaking when talking about luxury cars from the post War era (1946-1964ish) I am a Cadillac guy. But this car is absolutely stunning. The understated elegance just compels you to look, even stare at it.

A lovely story of a son's passion for the Continental and his father having a huge influence on his interests and passions. Very touching

I don't believe any car could match the grace, elegance, and style of Elizabeth Taylor but if there ever was one..........................this one would be it. Like her it is a timeless beauty.

The Mark II is one of my best memories. My dad had one. His was black, but did not have air. I was privileged to be allowed to drive it and my date to my senior prom. That was in 1963. That event and other memories of the car are and forever will be special for me. Thank you for an excellent portrayal of this car and it original owner.

I read about Miss Taylor's Mark II years ago, good to know it's still around.

This is one of those fabulous automobiles. My grandparents had two...this 2 door model and the 4 door Premier. I loved them but never knew what happened to them. If I could only have them today!!

Incredible, beautiful automobile. My late father had two of these that he restored...a 1956 and a 1957, the only two years produced. I used to love taking it to the gas station and seeing the attendant look for the fuel filler. They would pull on the license plate and when I finally let on that it was behind the left taillight, it was always met with amazement. The air controls were like the throttles in an airplane. I would kill to have one again.

I so get the idea of this motorcar. Super elegant and so beautiful matching Elizabeth Taylor. The only other car that I can think of that had that sort of star prestige was a Duesenberg SSJ that was owned by Clark Gable.
