1956 Lincoln Premiere

1956 Lincoln Premiere BY60B Description

This beautiful 1956 Lincoln Premier has been sitting in a private collection for the past few years. We can't believe that we have the opportunity to offer this to the public. It is a fantastic value for anyone that understands the quality of this vehicle. The price is well below retail. Please call us for any information that you may need to make this your dream car purchase. The Premier comes with power steering, power brakes, power windows and power seat. Full restoration was done and done very well. There are more photos available upon requests. The following are general specifications from the factory per Wikipedia.
In 1956–57 the vehicle featured a 368cuin (6.0L) Lincoln Y-Block V8 and it was approximately 223" (5664mm) long in 1956. The vehicle weighed 4357lb (1976.3kg) and had a base price of $4,601 in 1956, which converts to roughly $40,046 in current dollars. Unusually, it didn't share an appearance with the Continental Mark II which was sold at the same time at a substantially higher price.

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. For example, when equipped with optional "factory air conditioning in 1956-57," the vents were located overhead, much like those in an aircraft. The cool air was directed to the roof via a pair of clear plastic ducts visible through the rear window at each side, connecting upward from the rear package tray. Four way power seats were standard.[1] Front suspension was independent with a stabilizer bar.
