Following a total redesign for 1956, Lincoln simply dressed up its
1957 models with new tailfins (the first true "fins" for Lincoln),
upright dual headlights, and additional chrome trim. The V-8 under
the hood was redesigned, with compression boosted to 10.0:1,
raising horsepower to an even 300, and Turbo-Drive automatic
transmission became standard equipment. Nonetheless, sales fell,
but that means that today these cars, especially the
top-of-the-line Premiere convertible, are wonderfully rare.
Beautifully restored and maintained, this award-winning example is
finished in Gainsborough Blue with Blue and Cream leather
upholstery, with all of the correct power accessories typical to
these luxurious models, including the first-year self-locking
convertible top, and is described as running and driving very
well.To view this car and others currently consigned to this
auction, please visit the RM website at
