TG57Roadmaster Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 This former <span style="font-style: italic">Cars & Parts</span> cover car (Jan. '91) is about to undergo a lengthy restoration back to its original Amethyst & White color scheme. When it was changed to Taos Turquoise remains a mystery.

michel88 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I always thought the '56 Lincolns were beautiful cars. The changes that were made to the '57 did not improve the looks. I like the Taos Turquoise color, but it will look even better in its original Amethyst and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BJM Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Both the 56 and 57 Lincolns are nice in my opinion. The 56 back end doesn't excite me much but the fronts were less busy. The 57's have nice period styling in front but the tailfin treatment improves the back, and appropriately dates it. Both interiors are tasteful. The turquise is an awefully nice 50's color in nice condition. Regrettably, it looks bad all faded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpushbutton Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nice car. The '56 Lincolns are a flattering copy of a Packard, headed by Packard's former stylist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
