Nothing is more beautiful than a 56 Premier IMO. 56,55,57

I can't type 56 fast enough! Lincoln was late coming to the 1955 styling change party, but man, in 1956 it was an absolute knock-out beauty! And then just as quick as it was so gorgeous, the stylists must have gotten wasted in the drawing room one night and put reaching to the moon fins on it. With those fins, I then liked the 55 better.
1) 1956 2) 1955 3) 1957.

It may just be familiarity but I have always liked that 1955 Capri. After that, the 1956 Premiere has a slight advantage in looks above the 1957.

For me it's 1956 by far...then '55 and '57 in that order. Great pics John!
