For Sale: 1956 Lincoln Capri in Sioux City, Iowa

1956 Lincoln Capri Lincoln was attractively restyled for 1956. It was based on the XL-500 and XM-800 concept cars. It had hooded headlights and a bumper-integrated, center horizontal bar grille with thinner horizontal bars above and below it. Taillight treatment was similar to last year. Bumper ports beneath the taillights served as exhaust exits. A full-length tire-level side molding was incorporated onto the standard fender skirts. All 1956 Lincolns came equipped with power steering, automatic transmission and dual exhaust. What an awesome beautiful rust-free cruiser from the 50s. This thing has been pampered and has enjoyed almost 70 years of TLC. Time capsule extraordinaire, beautiful, laser straight, mostly all original. Body is incredible, its had a repaint some time ago and still presents exceptionally. The interior is completely original, drivetrain appears to be as well, and cruises effortlessly. A surprising amount of power for a 4500-pound car. Purchased new by a Mrs. OG Kip from Fort Madison, Iowa on Dec.5 1955. The original registration from 1955 is included (see pictures) as well as a number of subsequent registrations throughout the 50s and 60s. Power is derived from a 368 CI V-8 and equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, and more. Riding on a set of period correct Firestone Deluxe Champion wide white walls, just a beauty. Documentation consisting of those registrations, the owners manual, an automatic transmission inspection report from December 55, as well as the radio manual.
