MotoeXotica Classic Cars is please to present this 1957 Lincoln
Premiere two-door hardtop. This particular unit was made on January
5, 1957 (code A5) in Ford's Wayne, Michigan (VIN code WA) factory.�
It is a very distinctive Lincoln and they are sure to see you
coming and going! Finished in Presidential Black over Huntsman Red
(code 81), the car's paint and trim are in overall great condition
with scattered, minor blemishes visible at close range. The car's
windows are clear and intact but the windshield wipers are
inoperable yet the lights are haze-free and similarly intact. The
car's bodywork is straight and solid while its engine bay is in
satisfactory order, as is the battery and the bumpers, where there
are visible blemishes on the rear bumper of the Continental kit.
The car's trunk is in satisfactory original condition. This big
Lincoln rolls on wide whitewall tires, each surrounding a steel
wheel topped with a full moon wheel cover. The wide whitewall tires
are in satisfactory order while the wheel covers are in brilliant
shape. Under the hood is Lincoln's 368 CID Y-block V-8 with
four-barrel carburetor, golden valve covers, a golden air cleaner
housing and even a golden power brake vacuum booster. Buttoned to
this engine is a Turbo-Drive three-speed automatic transmission.
Driver convenience features include power steering, power brakes
with discs in front, power windows and a four-way power front seat.
The power antenna and parking brake, however, are inoperable.
Inside, the car's red and black cloth interior (code 727) is in
overall satisfactory order. The front and rear bench seats (rear
has a fold-down center armrest) are in great shape overall, however
there are minor blemishes visible. The car's red carpet is in
decent order while the headliner is in very good order. The factory
four-spoke steering wheel has signs of wear from years of enjoying
the car. The instrument panel is in satisfactory shape while the
inner door panels are in very good order. The shifter is in good
shape and rounding out the interior is a factory AM radio. The
Premiere was introduced in 1956 as an upscale version of
the�Lincoln Capri. It featured a 368�CID Lincoln Y-Block�V-8�and it
was approximately 223 inches long in 1956. The top-end Lincoln, it
was substantially different from the much more
expensive�Continental Mark II�sold by Ford's Continental Motorcars
division. The Premiere's appearance reflected the Capri's
derivation from the radically different concept cars, the�Mercury
XM-800�and the�Lincoln Futura. It was known for a stylish exterior,
high-grade interior and some unique features, such as optional
factory�air-conditioning�being run through overhead ducts 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.�Front suspension was independent with a
stabilizer bar. Competition to this Lincoln in 1957 included
Buick's Series 70 Riviera Two-door Roadmaster Dynaflow, Cadillac's
Coupe de Ville, Chrysler's New Yorker, DeSoto's Fireflite Two-door
Sportsman, Dodge's Cornet Lancer Super D-500, Mercury's Monterey
Phaeton Coupe and Oldsmobile's Super 88 Holiday Coupe. For buyers
who seek a Lincoln other than a Continental Mark II, or for FoMoCo
or luxury car fans in general, this Premiere is worth taking a look
at, and soon, before someone else drives or hauls it home. Stop by
