1959 Lincoln Premiere
The Lincoln Premiere looked the same as other Lincoln series for the year but could be identified by its Premiere nameplate. The main bones of the body features unframed construction with welded steel body and frame with safety door locks and safety glass in every window. The exterior is polished with baked enamel with two primer coats, two sealer coats and two pigmented finish coats to give it the ultimate sheen. Inside, there is a padded instrument panel, deep comfort seats, scotch-grain leathers and deep-piled carpeting.
