Hagerty is listing this incredible-looking 1956 Lincoln Premiere for $80,000 in Coal City, Illinois. It’s in “original unrestored condition, with 20,000 original miles,” and looks the part. Thanks, T.J.

Hagerty is in the unique position as a vendor to link its sales with data on previous results with similar models. It’s interesting that, in this case, it mostly uncovers cars priced between $15,000 and $30,000. But none of them are original, loaded, and gorgeous ’56 convertibles.

This car is luxury all the way. It has power steering, power brakes, a power seat, power windows, and a rare factory-installed Continental kit. About the only thing missing is the optional air-conditioning, rare on any car in 1956, and rarer still on open-air convertibles. That’s the original paint, which is showing its age a bit, with some checking but no rust. The car “runs and drives beautifully.”

Inside, the Premiere is clothed in its original leather, showing very little wear. There’s no look at the top, but let’s guess that at that price, it should at least be in one piece and go down with the push of a button.

The car is an automatic with a 368-cubic-inch Lincoln Y-Block V-8, equipped with a four-barrel carb and producing 285 horsepower. It needed that much horsepower to haul 4,357 pounds around.

That’s about all the information we get, but maybe it’s all we need. I like the more restrained 1956 models—the fins got huge a year later. The Premiere was an upscale version of the Capri, and had a huge base price of $4,601 at the time. To my mind, these cars are almost as striking as the contemporary Mark II, which cost more than double. The radical styling was inspired by the Mercury XM-800 and Lincoln Futura concept cars. There were 34 two-tone exterior colors that year. The convertible was the most exclusive, and only 2,447 were built in ’56 (as opposed to 19,465 four-door sedans and 19,619 hardtop coupes. This is an extra-nice car, but is it worth $80,000 in a soft market for ‘50s iron? Classic.com says $45,579, but a convertible with original low mileage is worth more.
