Description:
1 of 1 1956 Lincoln Premiere Sunburst Convertible. Yellow on yellow and white interior with a continental kit to exist. Bought this from the son of the father who passed away some time ago. The car was purchased by his father in 1964-65 and seldom driven to be parked in the garage most of the time. The has had only one repaint that was done in the mid 1970's and still shines up nice
This car was believed to be a factory demo car for the new 56 Lincoln Premieres sporting factory chrome valve covers, pulleys and air cleaner what is normally the Lincoln green and black.We pulled this car out of long term storage not driven since 1995 until this year when we spent over $10,000 going through all the mechanical stuff to make it road worthy.
