1957 Lincoln Premiere
Car History
It is not very often that you ever run across some example of
1950's Lincoln luxury car, but we have a very nice example with
this 1957 Lincoln Premiere here at Adventure Classics today.
It is bold, distinct, powerful, loaded, and was a premium luxury
car when new. It's the kind of car that was admired in 1957 and has
become a rare classic today.
Engine & Drivetrain
Only one motor was offered across the line, the 368 cubic inch V8
engine rated at around 300 horsepower and was mated to an automatic
transmission. When you open the hood on this car and you will
notice that everything appears stock and well maintained.
A nice feature here is that Lincoln moved to a 12-volt electrical
system the previous year, and so the car starts easily and there is
plenty of power to run all those accessories. The engine in this
car is smooth and still retains the stock original gold air cleaner
assembly and gold scripted valve covers.
It is still painted the Lincoln green on the engine block, heads,
and intake, with a four-barrel carburetor, power steering, power
brakes, and rides on classic-style whitewalls and a set of steel
wheels with factory chrome hubcaps for that period correct
look.
Interior
The interior looks as new in its deep blue hue on the split bench
front seat and matching rear seat, with the matching door panels,
dash, and two-tone blue/white steering wheel.
The blue carpeting is positively plush for the proper premium
feeling and it has matching blue seat belts, and standard features
like a power front seat and power windows, great factory instrument
panel and dashboard covered by the dash pad with all the factory
gauges, radio, all of which looks and feels like pure
nostalgia.
Exterior
The blue exterior paint job with the contrasting white painted top
on this Lincoln is what will first attract you. Not only is the
blue and white a terrific combo but it gleams in the direct
sunlight.
The chrome shines brightly to on the front and rear bumpers, side
brightwork, stacked headlights, wraparound windshield, and looks
great with the overall straightness of the sheet metal.
