What he says: "Purchased at auction."

 

What he means: "Purchased at auction because I thought everyone was dumber than I and didn't see what a bargain it was but then I got it home and it became a black hole of woe that began to suck my soul into a nether world of infinite pain and misery. I have never regretted anything this much in my life. They lied to me and I stupidly believed them. Please save me."

My guess is the needs help part is something mechanical that is either a very expensive repair or no one has been able to figure out.  That can be more expensive than a rebuild if you end up going shop to shop and no one figures it out.  Overheating problem, Random no start problem.  My guess is much like Matt's.  He's tired of throwing money at it.

I also had a 57 Lincoln that fit this description to a tee. Only in my case I bought it on Ebay and paid to haul it across half the country!

Well, a vague description, a combination of photos showing the car in a trailer or at the auction but not its current state, and then selling the car for less than you paid at auction earlier this year, yes, that all kind of adds up to someone trying to eject in a hurry for some reason, and it probably isn't "this car is much too nice for me."

The two-tone paint combinations the Lincoln factory applied were not color broken as this car is.  Only the top would be a different color.  Had they painted the top shell pink on this originally all-black hardtop coupe at least it would look like a factory job.

At this price you can only expect a car with work. Still like this car a lot. 

Outside okay, interior okay, chrome, okay. Electrical stuff to be checked. 'Runs and drives' could mean it doesn't stop supported by the picture with the yellow 'stopper'. Brakes shouldn't be a too big issue... But I am broke at the moment anyway...

Seller's Description:

1957 Lincoln Premiere 2-door Hardtop

  • Driven 125,000 miles
  • Automatic transmission
  • Exterior color: Pink & Black
  • Clean title
  • This vehicle has no significant damage or problems

She’s my golden baby. 57. Sold at the 2020 Barrett Jackson auto auction. Was a museum show piece for 20 years. Sadly the owner died and she came up for auction. I saw her and that was it. Interior is stock, fabric has NO rips or damage. One power window works, seats work, the other window does not. Wipers don’t work and no heater. This car isn’t meant to be driven in cold weather. All lights work. Runs GREAT. New battery. Garaged, buffed, loved, never touched water since I owned her, fresh fluids, car show HIT, has a few small chips on paint. Two were there when I got her, no leaks in the radiator which is original.

 

I’m asking $20k firm. Respectfully, I will not take less.

The factory two-tone color break for the 1957 Lincoln was second color top only.  More than one has a version done to it seen here...and it just looks bad...

Very true.  From what I have read, back then the

"luxury" cars didn't have the wild and bright splashes

of multi-tone paint that other makes offered.  Likely

then as now, buyers of luxury cars were a bit more

conservative.  A contrasting roof was sufficient.

Respectfully he will probably have this car for a long time if he is unwilling to negotiate.

Not a problem.

 Bremerton needs a little glamour.

What a wonderful car! I would have never come up with this color combination, but it looks simply gorgeous. Compared with today's white, black or grayish colors, the 50s must have been a better time...

It was certainly a much better time for car colors, for sure. You generally don't find vibrant colors like this on American cars (or foreign) anymore. It drives me crazy. Both my wife and I have red Subarus. If I had my way, I'd require car companies to offer three reds, three blues, two greens, and colors like metallic orange, purple, coral and yellow. I dislike all these grey, black, white and silver cars. Let's go back to 50's car colors.

 

That Lincoln will certainly attract attention wherever it goes. Awesome car.
