I like the coupe too, but would rather be seen driving around town in the rag top!

The 1956 Lincoln Premiere another one of my many long time favorites. If I was forced to pick one it would be the wisteria convertible. Fantastic job with the pictures, John.

I have both of these lovely Lincolns.  Wish I had not passed on the Presidential Black coupe.  What I think is cool on the coupes is the a/c tubes in the rear windows.  The three FM '55 Cadillac Fleetwoods have them also.

The 1956 Lincoln sits at the apex of my pantheon of model, (and real), cars.

I own all the DM versions, and confess I own 3 of the 'wisteria' convertibles. One sits on my home work desk, one sits in my home Library, and one its on my office desk.  I can never catch a glimpse of this beauty and not smile.

Of course Tony's glorious detail shots always look better than my glances. Many thanks.

To me the 56 Lincoln Premier is one of the most beautiful cars ever built and DM did a marvelous job of capturing it's every detail.
