new 1956 Lincoln Premier owner needs information

[Olaf]

Hi from Germany,

my fellow just bought a 1956 Lincoln Premier 2 door from California, it is on the way to Germany at this time. I don't know what condition it is for real, he told me it is in good condition, but I'm a little sceptic.... it is his first old car!

Because I have two old American Cars (39'DeSoto, 40'Chevy) he asked me for help to find some information about the car! We definitely know NOTHING about it, except it has 2 doors and 4 wheels. So we are very thankful for all information we can get!

What are the typical weak spots?

What brakes are on the car, power brakes with disks?

Thanks for your reply,

Olaf
