President & Founder

Ivan Read Jr. "VICE"

I was born in Washington D.C and I am currently a Maryland resident. My first exposure to the auto scene was in the late 60’s as a youth who entered a model car contest at the DC Armory World of Wheels show and won 2nd place, (Hemi Under Glass Cuda) and I have been hooked ever since. I am an honorary member of the Master Cruisers Car Club of Clinton, Maryland and still their DJ at many events.

I had a passion for Lincoln’s and met plenty of other people throughout my life that also shared that same passion. I started Continental Cruisers to offer a space where individuals with Lincolns can connect and cruise to other car shows. I wanted to create a stress free environment for Lincoln owners and Lincoln enthusiasts. I also wanted to be active in my community by supporting charities, causes, and other clubs.

Since 2011, Continental Cruisers has grown to 30+ members and attended numerous events across the United States. We have been featured in magazines, music videos, newsletters, TV clips and a movie.

I appreciate my family, my friends, my community, and my members for the support of Continental Cruisers.
