1956 LIncoln Premiere Sedan with 46,000 original miles

1956 Lincoln Premiere Sedan. 46,000 original miles. Amethist and Starmist white roof.

I bought this car from the 3rd owners whom drove the car when they first purchased in 2000 but then it was stored up until this year. They purchased the car from a dealer in Missouri whom had bought it from another dealer.

I have all the receipts proving the low mileage, ven the spark plug receipt from Montgomery Wards dated 1971( the plugs where still in the car when I purchased it). The weather stripping is aged but still keeps water out of the car, tested taking it to a local car wash. All the power accessories work including the power seat and antenna. The automatic lube system is not functioning that I know of. My intension was to complete the restoration but life got in the way. Please call if you have any questions. 505-414-8137 Brian

Work that I have had done and have the receipts for:

-New Coker radial tires

-Major tune up, lugs points etc

-oil change

-rear diff changed out fluid and new seal installed

-Fuel system cleaned and new pump installed

-carberator rebuilt

-radiator flushed and refilled

-Steering box rebuilt (was leaking)

-Mufflers and pipes

-Windshield was replaced due to cracks

This Lincoln drives great and has the power you would expect from a low mileage car. The car has no rust anywhere on the body or underside. The rear exhaust still comes out of the rear bumper ends but there is some metal pitting at one of them.
