1959 Lincoln Premiere Coupe

This Lincoln Premiere Coupe is a striking and rare classic American coupe, presented in an eye-catching factory colour scheme. It is powered by a 7.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, driving the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1959, the seller states that this Premiere Coupe was purchased new in Alberta Canada, and is now located in Australia. The odometer indicates 67,984 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1959 This Premiere Coupe is finished in a striking Cameo Rose (soft pastel pink) over a charcoal cloth and ivory vinyl-trimmed interior, punctuated by swathes of chrome trim. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and fitted with BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tyres. Equipment includes electric windows, a four-way electrically adjustable front seat, an electric antenna, a four-barrel Carter carburettor, push-out front quarter light windows, a top-tinted windscreen, a radio, an analogue clock, and heater and ventilation controls. Accompanied by the personal plates (LGE59) and one set of keys (one for door/boot, one for ignition). Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the original owner did some damage to the right front guard and sill under the right side door. He had all good intentions of repairing however the car was covered with blankets and left in his garage for 35 years until purchased and repaired. Along with the bare metal respray the engine and gearbox were removed. The engine was completely rebuilt, a bare metal respray was carried out, addressing previous front right-hand wing damage and right sill damage under the door, and there is a tiny bit of under-paint rust above the left-hand headlight. The seller states that they have carried out one engine oil change since acquiring the car, during which time they have covered approximately 2,000 miles. The seller states that the car was freshly serviced when they acquired it. The Lincoln Premiere Coupe is a truly imposing and distinctive American classic, renowned for its substantial road presence, striking mid-century styling and its status as the largest unibody car of its era. This example is finished in an eye-catching Cameo Rose over a luxurious charcoal and ivory interior, and boasts a smooth yet vocal 7.0-litre V8 engine. It promises to be a rewarding companion for weekend drives and classic car events, delivering a memorable cruising experience to its next enthusiast owner.
