Ad says car color is pink. Has to be one of the nicest shades of pink on a production car. Looking at it again. Door jams are a brighter shade. Outside must be faded.

I see enough red flags at $34,000.  Anytime a seller says “easy fix” but doesn’t fix it, I am concerned.  And A/C “just needs a charge”.  Seller or someone- says “brakes gone through “ - which is a catch phrase I don’t like - similar to “barn find”.  Ok, then why does it need shoes and why isn’t he sure?   
 

Nope. With all the great finds lately in the teens - I am not close at $34,000 for this Lincoln.  But yes it shows well in the photos.

I agree that it's not priced realistically.

In its current state, it should have its $34,000

price cut in half.

This is a friend of mines car.  Its nice and he's flexible on the price.  Everything works and I'm sure with an R-12 charge the A/C will work too.

For cars that were low production new and quite rare now we have seen quite a few of these 56-57 Lincolns here for sale lately. I agree on the price being way too high, but my biggest complaint on this and many other cars - if you want top dollar, clean the damn thing up! Buff the paint, clean the chrome, wash the interior, not very hard. And while I know the reasons most people don't do it - if you have a rare car with an extremely rare A/C option, get it fixed and charge it up! With a good detail and working air this guy could at least get closer to his asking price.

Tim, may I humbly suggest, then, that he get the

air conditioning working?  It is a feature not often seen

in the 1950's.  So many sellers with inoperative air

conditioning state, "It just needs a charge."  If so, the

cost is small and, once done, the seller won't have

that negative feature to detract from his nice Lincoln.

The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1946-1975, Edited by John Gunnell states: "Only 22 percent of 1957 Lincolns came equipped with air conditioning."

At least he's headed in the right direction. Wonder how far down it will go before it sells?
