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.
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.
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.

Lincoln, the luxury marque of Ford is best-known for their Continental. Produced sporadically between 1939 and 2020, the Continental was their full-size luxury offering.

Today’s 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V Cartier Designer Series comes from the fifth series, made between 1970 and 1977. It’s a perfect dictionary description of the popular term “Land Yacht”, and this 15,513-mile, all-original car from Toms River, New Jersey Is now up for sale. Plus, it’s a special edition trim level.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida.

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
