the station sedan was marketed to women -- the jeepster was just a marketing failure -- i see they used the word CONTINENTAL in this ? -- at least the jeepster had a continental spare tire -- the 56 continental mkII had a bump on the rear trunk lid , the tire was hidden right behind it , in the trunk ..

The term Continental Styling probably made reference to the European Continent styling, with the British MGs, Morgans, and pre 1949 Jaguars and some of the Italian and French sports cars. They all had side curtains instead of roll up windows and "Continental" spare tires on the rear! Returning GIs from WWII loved the open sports cars from over the pond!
