Lincoln Premiere. Yellow version
The Premiere was introduced in 1956 as an upscale version of the Lincoln Capri. It featured a 368 cu in (6.0 L) Lincoln Y-Block V8 and it was approximately 223″ (5664 mm) long in 1956. The vehicle had a base price of $4,601 in 1956. The top-end Lincoln, it was substantially different from the much more expensive and conservatively styled Continental Mark II sold by Ford’s Continental Motorcars division, and was marketed against the Cadillac Series 62, Imperial Crown Coupe and Packard Patrician.
To emphasize Lincoln’s exclusivity and specialized appearance, there were 20 available colors, with 34 two-tone exterior color selections for 1956, increasing to 76 two-tone color choices and only 18 single color selections for 1957. 1956 production totals show a combination of 19,619 Hardtop Coupes, 19,465 4-door Sedans and 2,447 Convertibles were assembled.
