Overview of 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible For Sale by Owner

Here’s a model that you may not have heard of. Perhaps your grandparents or parents will recall hearing about it. The Lincoln Premiere was a full-size luxury car by American luxury automaker Lincoln, and it was made for just five short years. Between 1955 and 1960, buyers wanting a large six-person car could choose the Premiere. Offered in hardtop, sedan and convertible forms, you won’t see many Premieres around today, likely because they weren’t exactly made in droves. For example, between 1956 and 1957, just 2,447 convertibles were made, of which 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible is one. With under 76,000 miles on the clock, it’s definitely a survivor and sits proud in Baker City, Oregon, waiting for a new owner. So if you want an American classic that’s definitely worthy of preservation but doesn’t immediately spring to everyone’s mind, the Premiere is a choice worth making.

Exterior and Interior

This 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible comes in a lustrous Island Coral paint job, which is a happy shade of pink with a hint of peach thrown into the mix. It’s perfectly representative of the sunny and carefree ethos that was sweeping across America at the time. The car’s white convertible top only adds to its overall bright persona, as do its whitewall tires and chrome bumpers. The chrome even extends over the rear wheel spats. The spacious interior of this 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible continues the Island Coral color, but throws some white into the mix too. You’ve got two bench seats which easily enable three abreast seating, but modern safety regulations might frown on such frippery. The front seats are power adjustable, a standard feature of the Premiere. The car’s dashboard and switches are all stock styled, as is its interestingly-designed gauge cluster that appears to perch atop the dash. The controls for the heating and ventilation system are also quirky, comprising sliders between the dash and the gauge cluster pod.

Engine

This 1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible moves courtesy of a 368ci V8. Paired with a 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission, this car is definitely an easy rider. Power goes to the rear wheels as expected.
