Vehicle Description
When talking about cars, start your sentence with "1957", and
people immediately know that it was built in the heyday of the
styling departments at the auto makers. Say "Lincoln" in the next
breath, and they immediately know it will set the gold standard for
luxury, regardless of the year. This Lincoln Premiere is the best
of both worlds, combined.
This car is stunning in Turquoise and Starmist White. A unique
feature of this luxury coupe, is the pillarless design that lacks
the traditional B-pillars between the front and rear windows, and
serves to highlight the long body lines of the car. The chrome on
this car shines brightly and there is plenty of it to show off.
Start up front by surrounding the 4 headlights with it, then dress
the leading edge of the hood, the grill and the bumper with it.
Next let your eyes follow an accent strip of chrome down the side
of the car noticing the accent at the front edge of the rear fins
along the way. The back bumper is topped by tall taillights, also
dressed for the show, on the back end of those classic fins.
Tasteful Lincoln and Premiere badging appears on the fenders,
trunk, and of course the hood, and it all sits on wide white wall
tires with polished Lincoln hubcaps.
Step into this car to enter the lap of luxury. Power seats covered
in leather cradle you. The headliner, door panels and seats are all
in great condition and look new. The four spoke steering wheel is a
work of art in black, white and chrome with the column shifter
tipped in white completing the picture. The dash is black padded on
top with a turquoise lower. The gauges are above, with the switches
below, the padding. There are white levers for heating and
ventilation controls to the left of the steering wheel as well as
power window switches, which even include power vent windows, to
the left of the driver and of course at each passenger position.
Let's not forget about the power door locks, and an AM radio with
both Town and Country settings, which even has a power antenna. The
car will even dim your headlights automatically for you when the
sensor on the dash detects an oncoming car.
Open the hood on this car and you will notice that everything
appears stock, clean and well maintained. A nice feature here is
that Lincoln moved to a 12 Volt electrical system in '56, so the
car starts easily and there is plenty of power to run all those
accessories. The engine in this car is 368 cubic inches of smooth
power and is announced as a Lincoln V8 by the gold valve covers.
Also gold is the air filter housing that feeds clean air to a
Carter 4 bbl carburetor along with the dipstick and oil fill cap.
All stock, correct, neat, and clean. Power flows back through a 3
speed Turbo Drive automatic transmission to drive the rear wheels.
The front wheels are operate by power steering through an
independent suspension. Those wide white-walled, 8.20-15 tires, are
where the rubber meets the road, and this car is above all else, a
Premiere road car.
Come down and experience this car in person. Take in the stunning
looks. Take it for a ride. Then take it home if you like.
