1956 Lincoln Premiere Convertible

01

Artifact Overview

When introduced for 1956, the Premiere was the top-series model in Lincoln's product line. Unique badges and special wheel covers set these cars apart from Lincoln's less expensive Capri series. The Premiere name remained in use through 1960, though it was moved mid-series when the premium Continental returned to Lincoln, after two years as a separate division, for 1958.
