older restoration that has been very well maintained. the

equipped original car. Painted in its original and oh-so-fifties
appropriate shade of Amethyst, it is echoed inside with pink
leather seats and door panels, along with contrasting textured grey
fabric inserts, while the dashboard, carpet, and door trim are
black. Fully equipped, it features a Town and Country radio with
rear speaker; automatic transmission, power steering, brakes,
windows, and seat; dual outside rearview mirrors and accessory fog
lights. It rides on appropriate wide whitewall tires with correct
Premiere wheel covers. Both the engine compartment and the trunk
have been highly detailed.This is one collector car that invites
the new owner to bring along friends and family, as there is room
for everyone while traveling in complete comfort. It is a perfect
car for touring, cruise-ins, and local gatherings.The Premiere was
introduced in 1956 as an upscale version of the Lincoln Capri. It
featured a 368cuin (6.0L) Lincoln Y-Block V8 and it was
approximately 223" (5664mm) long in 1956. The vehicle weighed
4357lb (1976.3kg) and had a base price of $4,601 in 1956, which
converts to roughly $40,530 in current dollars. The top-end
Lincoln, it was substantially different from the much more
expensive Continental Mark II sold by Ford's Continental Motorcars
division.The Premiere's appearance reflected the Capri's derivation
from the radically different concept cars, the Mercury XM-800 and
the Lincoln Futura. It was known for a stylish exterior, high-grade
interior and some unique features, such as optional "factory air
conditioning being run through overhead ducts much like those in an
aircraft. The cool air was directed to the roof via a pair of clear
plastic ducts visible through the rear window at each side,
connecting upward from the rear package tray. Four way power seats
were standard.Front suspension was independent with a stabilizer
bar.
