another fine classic Lincoln automobile in this 1956 Lincoln
Premiere Hardtop Coupe. This coupe was fully restored by the
previous owner, an engineer who held a number of patents and
collected certain, significant cars, focusing on Lincolns. Under
the hood is the 368 CID Lincoln Y-block V-8 engine, making around
285 horsepower and mated to a three-speed Turbo-Drive automatic
transmission. This Lincoln also has a new fuel tank with a complete
fuel system - lines, filters and booster pump - through to the
carburetor. The car has been driven approximately 500 miles since
its restoration in (date). Outside, it is painted a period correct
Starmist White with Amethyst, which is echoed once you open a door
to the interior. Driver assist features include power steering and
power four-wheel drum brakes. The front suspension was independent
with a stabilizer bar. Car rides on original equipment steel wheels
with hubcaps set inside Coker Classics wide whitewall tires.
Inside, you'll find factory air-conditioning, four-way power seats
and power windows. Air-conditioning back then was an exotic and
rare option and in this car, the cooled air went to the roof
through a pair of clear, plastic tubes visible through the back
window on each side, connecting upward from the rear package tray.
This set-up, much like that on an airplane, takes advantage of
physics - cold air falls. Only 10 percent of Premieres came with
this factory option. In this car, the air-conditioning is
functional but it doesn't blow cold, the system may need charging.
Of the dashboard gauges, the fuel gauge is inoperative and the
windshield wipers do not work but the car has Dynamat heat-proofing
and sound deadening applied to the floorpan, color-coded seat belts
and comes with the original radio and a power antenna. Besides
restoring this Lincoln, the car's previous owner always believed
the 1956 Premiere was one of the most elegant cars of the 1950s; he
managed to find a collection of three 1956 Premiere Hardtops, all
of them equipped with factory air-conditioning. He selected the
best of the trio as the basis for this complete restoration. The
Lincoln Premiere, despite the French word for "first" in its name,
ranked below the Continental Mark II and above the Capri in the
company's model hierarchy. The Premiere's appearance borrowed from
the radically different concept cars, the�Mercury XM-800�and
the�Lincoln Futura, and the Premiere was known for its stylish
exterior, high-grade interior and some unique features. Some
examples of this car's 1956 competition included the Cadillac
Eldorado Seville, the BMW 503 coupe and the Chrysler New Yorker St.
Regis two-door hardtop. Current mileage on the odometer shows
33,080 miles. It is sold as is and on a clear and mileage exempt
title. GET OUT AND DRIVE! VIN: 56WA438OL Note: Please see full
