It is not a trailer queen but a very presentable driver quality car. Take it to shows and be the only one there like it. Enjoy Sunday cruises and going to the local drive in.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a vehicle from the fabulous fifties but didn't want to spend the 50 to 80 thousand dollars. Well here is your chance to own one of the prettiest of that era for an affordable price. This Lincoln runs drives and stops as it should and is ready for someone to enjoy. It is not a trailer queen but a very presentable driver quality car. Take it to shows and be the only one there like it. Enjoy Sunday cruises and going to the local drive in. It has the original engine and drivetrain with some improvements for driving enjoyment ie: alternator instead of generator, electric wipers instead of vacuum, manual choke. Carburetor rebuilt and engine tuned. The tires are brand new Coker radials and my mechanic has gone thru it to assure driving pleasure. Look at the pictures and better yet come and see it in person. Fly in and drive it home. Now the not so good. There is a small crack in the passenger window and the driver door lock does not work. The speedometer does not work but a new one is mounted under the dash. There is no air-conditioner as those were rare back then. I have been honest in my description. Roger

I really like this car. Not perfect (looks like some overspray on the door insulation) but overall a nice looking car. I am puzzled by the increase of $350 in price when the car did not sell on the first round. IMO it would make sense if the seller stated that he had the car professionally detailed and the increase in price reflects that, or he raised the price so there was room to negotiate with "tire kickers". GLWTS, this is a car that I would drive a lot.

Maybe reflects the cost of advertising it in the local papers.

"Later that day, I met friends at the lovely Beverly Hills Hotel.  For even after nine hours of driving I felt refreshed, relaxed and proud. Proud, because at this hotel where you see the finest automobiles, my Lincoln drew the quiet admiration it so richly deserves!"

 

Intoned in the bright, sophisticated voice of Julia Meade, Lincoln-Mercury spokes-lady and cohost of The Ed Sullivan Show extolling the virtues of the 1956 Lincolns.

John:

Here it is, at the end is the statement I posted.  Makes me laugh every time she says, "For all Lincoln's size, it handles as easily and cleanly as a sports car!"
