Buyer’s notes
About the Lincoln Premiere
The Premiere was Lincoln’s top model for 1956, with styling that drew on the Lincoln Futura concept car and a 368 cu in V8. Just 2,447 convertibles were built for 1956.
What moves the price
- Body style: the convertible was built in the smallest numbers.
- Original equipment: factory power options and accessories are part of the appeal.
- The quality and correctness of any restoration.
Before you buy, check
- The car’s identity and body type against its data plate.
- Corrosion in the floors, sills and lower body.
- The power equipment: windows, seats and, on convertibles, the hood mechanism.
