The Premiere series debuted for 1956 as the new top-line model (the Mark II was under the Continental banner) and pushed the Capri down a notch. Available as a sleek two-door hard top, dignified four-door sedan, and Convertible, the Premiere came standard with power seats, windows, braking, and Push-Button Lubrication. With a base price of $4,747, the Premiere Convertible was not cheap, and at that price with only 2,447 built, exclusivity was guaranteed. For 1957, Lincoln added "QuadraLite" headlamps to become (along with Nash and certain Chrysler products) the first car to feature quad headlights. Tweaked rear fenders with soaring fins were also new. In contrast, embracing trendiness at the expense of subtlety shows how superb the 1956 Lincoln really is.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This striking Turquoise 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible exemplifies everything that makes the brand stand out from Cadillac's shadow: sleekness, show-car looks, regal presence, and opulent luxury. Completed from new in the 76B Convertible style, this Lincoln has received a comprehensive restoration to factory correct standards. The Turquoise exterior color is neatly color-coded in the interior, and there is plenty of room for a family of four or five. The engine bay is clean and show ready with factory markings. Furthermore, the exterior is trimmed in sparkling chrome neatly contrasted by the elegant white-wall tires fitted on color-coded wheels. Offered from a prominent Western US-based collection, this stunning example deserves serious consideration.
