- 1959 Lincoln Premiere 4-Door. This is a non-restored show worthy car that has had only two loving owners since 1959. Fully equipped, including 430 Cubic Inch V8, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power six-way Seat, Auto Headlight Dimmer, Town & Country Radio, etc. Probably the finest '59 4-Door Lincoln Premier left on the planet.

A drop dead gorgeous car
Marvelous automobile. Earlier Premiers looked vastly different from the Continental, but this 59 is quite similar. I'd love to own this beast.
This car is so freaking awesome! Wish 50s come back.
Stunning !!
Great rare mid century alternative to the Cadillac! Hard to believe it didn't compete stronger against the Cadillac, because this styling here is in much better taste!
The 1959 Cadillac was the king of the road!....until a 1959 Lincoln drove by
When I was a kid local bachelor farmers had a black 1958 Lincoln I was in awe of that ride
Thanks so much for the video. You can tell you have a passion for classic cars. 1959 was a great year for the American manufacturers.
It is a dam work of art. Absolutely gorgeous.
They just had a style and a class back then that is seen in very few cars today.
when I was a kid, our neighbors bought a new Pink 1959 Lincoln Premier with mostly fabric black and white interior, I was in love with that car at age 5
Nice car, great eye candy. Unfortunately, the only way to keep something perfect is to never use it. What kind of pleasure is something that is stashed away in a storage facility?
1950's American four door sedans are vastly underrated.
Oh, I how LUSTED after this car when I was a kiddo.
me too, our neighbors bought a new 59 Lincoln Premier 4dr in pink , loved riding in that car
You and me both!
What a credit to the owner, can only imagine it restored or detailed
Beautiful... Beautiful... Beauuuuutiful Car!❤️
Like the old song goes, "My daddy said son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln."
Absolutely beautiful!
My favorite is the 1956 Lincoln premier.
-That-, my friend, is a TIME CAPSULE!
What a beauty and you did a great job with your narration! Thank you for creating, uploading and sharing this video! 😊
love the dash...love the body! love da car!
CADILLAC MAY HAVE HAD THOSE BEAUTIFUL ROCKET LIGHTS AND FINS, BUT THIS CAR WAS PURE LUXURY. THE DESIGN WAS SOPHISTICATED BUT ALL ITS OWN. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !
Wow. At first I this was my dad's car as he sold his to someone in Minnesota in 1962. When I saw the interior, I know it wasn't, but it still brought back memories. It was the very first car I ever drove at the age of 15; narrow roads with curbs. I drove it many times after that. The car was one of the smoothest driving cars I've ever driven with more than adequate power. Handled corners just as smoothly.
Beautiful!
When I was a kid, my babysitter had a '58 Premier, white like this one. She also
had a '60 Mark V parked in the backyard. The Premier was her daily driver. It was a big, beautiful tank of a car.
Really nice car.
Great Beautiful car Respect from Bulgaria!
I remember a kid in school who's uncle had a Continental Mark III sitting in a garage. 1958 I believe and that thing was huge.
This car is absolutely beautiful I love Lincoln's please whoever buys this car please keep it as is original
It would be a crime to pimp this classic with the lift and those ugly aftermarket wagon wheels!
Probably still has it's original new car smell. Ours did, even though it was well used and worn. This model was our family's daily driver up until 1980. Went from this to a Plymouth Horizon.
I’ve got a 91 Vandura if anyone is interested in their own A-Team van project. 130k miles, runs like a top. Everything else is makeover ready.
My dad had a 59 Lincoln. All black, 4 doors, a big flat tombstone dash with no gauge pods on top, and a steering wheel hub the size of a tea cup saucer. Gas must have been cheaper than water.
those curves windshield and back . I can imagine what a 270 degree of wide view angle can it give to a driver
Wind in the microphone very distracting. I was 18 when these came out. The late '50s produced some memorable cars.
And how would you have solved that problem on a windy day?
@@thecardsaysmoops Covers that prevent that problem are available very cheap
WOOOOOW!!!
What a magnificent example of this so classic Lincoln automobile! To answer "UncagedJDOG89" I would venture to say the difference between the Continental and the Lincoln models are the grill, side moldings, and rear tail area. I know the tail-lights are different and the interior of the Continental is different with more upscale leather interiors. The convertible did have a rear window that went down by power, and the convertible was only available in the Continental series. Great classic automobiles that are now being recognized as great, beautiful classic post war luxury cars.
Michael, in 58 & 59 the Continental came in a Convertable, Sedan, and Coupe, all had the rear window that went down, and 3 smaller tail lights. As a little Kid, my neighor had a 58 Lincoln like this, and another Neighbor had a sister that came over all the time, and she had a White 4dr Continental with the back window that went down. They were more luxurious and expensive than the Lincoln Premier. Lincoln lost so much money on this car, by 60 there was only one car, and MacNamara almost shut Lincoln down, but the redone 61 came out with such success, that it saved Lincoln. I love these too, that Lincoln of my nieghbors really impressed me at age 4 and I always wanted one of these
The 1958 and 1959 Lincoln Premiere had the "solid" rear window, that did not retract as did the Continental. My father owned one 1958 and a 1959.
The Premiere's have larger tail lights, and the 1958 rear bumper was larger, e.g., wider chrome across the expanse, than the one used in 1959. Some of the 430 MEL engines had triple deuce carbs, and others had one huge carb. All the MEL's had an incredibly huge air cleaner.
Sir, you didn't mention the neat way it sends cold air through the front doors with vents to the rear seat that passengers can adjust to their liking. Very nice showing.
Thanks. And you're absolutely correct. I SHOULD have mentioned that :-)
Love the 58-60s
My Grandfather owned this model in the gold color. He drove Buicks and Chryslers, by 1959 he was ready to get rid of the overheating 57 Special coupe. Never could fix it, over 80 degrees and less than 20 mph it would boil over. I commented elsewhere that my Father thought little of the Buick as compared to his 56 Chrysler. Grampa wanted to move up to a Cadillac, but being a bit conservative in matters of style, he declared the Caddy too God Damned Gaudy. Being about 7 at the time who knew what gaudy was about! I remember the power windows in the Lincoln and how they magically stopped working,while I was jacking with them, after all it was the first car in the family with the feature. I know now about the little switch on Grampas door! He throughly enjoyed that car, and drove it longer than any of the others. This car really impressed me as kid at the time , it still does all these years later. Good vid even if the narrator didn't know about the corrosive properties of polished stainless brightwork!
Had one in 1962, loved it.
Not sure if the Lubrication issues were solve because in the early Premiers there was an optional Auto-lube system where a grease pump was mounted by the Master Cylinder and had about 12 plastic lines going to key spots for the front-end geometry . You would buy a 7 oz Can of grease that had a scew-on cap where the threads matched the hole threads to scew the can in upside down .
Lincoln created that auto version of a Ball-Joint that had the grease nipples but according to the Manual you had to push the Lube button to the left of the steering wheel on the dash every 50 miles on the highway drives while a new can would be 250-300 application to Push the Lube button to give you over 1000 miles before changing the can .
It was used from 1956 to 1960 while GM and FORD offered the dealer Installed version around 1960 , but the price for Lube Jobs came down to where the Auto-Lube option wasn't worth it unless you drove a lot on the highway in the Sales business .
Older cars needed regular chores done to it which is why you saw some of the Movies with a Mansion where the Personal driver for the Rich had to be to a quasi Mechanic as well as washing the car .
Beautiful car that can carry 5 adults in comfort with a huge trunk for baggage .
I honestly think this car has better styling than the Continental
I much preferred these 58/59/60 Lincolns over Cadillac and Imperial. However, once the clean, 1961 Lincoln hit the streets, all previous years were quickly dated. Still, this is a wonderful car to cherish forever.
yes, I remember , I was a kid, but these got really dated quick. Our neighbors had a new 59 Pink Lincoln Premier , loved it as a kid
the most amazing '59 Connie......thnx
I'm the same age as this car, but its in better shape than me.
I saw a 58 Lincoln for sale and discovered that the 59-60 is the better looking of the 3 year run of this design , they made the front fender wheel opening better and bumper is better, much better
A gorgeous vehicle. Love everything about it except forthe diagonal headlight arrangement.
Great car! I have never been a fan of the slanted headlight arrangement. That was a turn off for me on the '59 Buick Electra too. That said, other than that headlight arrangement, these were truly MAGNIFICENT automobiles. They had a gorgeous profile. These were absolute luxury in motion!
Gary Grube: I think you meant to say: '59 Buick Electra. My dad had one, white with a red interior. Peace! ☮
@@usmale49 Yes, I did mean to say '59. I'll make that correction. THANK YOU!
@@GaryGrube1 You're welcome!!
I wish he would have started the motor and let us hear the motor sound.
Congrats to the buyer whoever he was. I could just imagine someone's well to do gray haired aunt driving this to her bridge club meet. Where were the a/c vents? Lincoln hid them real good wherever they were.
Behind the grill on the dashboard. You can see the little adjustment knobs poking out if you look closely.
@@danielulz1640 Yes, good catch!!
@@usmale49 similar design on 64 Mercury and 64 65 Lincoln Continental.
My father owned the same color and year, seat belts too, he sold it in 1970 for 250.00, with 84,000 miles. was in very good condition, I used to wash t and kept it on the garage. He was driving Cadillac, since 1963, the old Lincoln stayed in the garage till sold. No one wanted these then was very big I think 5,000 lbs.
Oh, oh I graduated from high school in 1963 and the consensus of the time was that Cadillac had a huge PR but the creme de la creme was the Lincoln and the one your father owned. I loved it then and I admire it today. I have a boiled down version of a Mercedes and a M4 BMW. These are the times of the idiot Obama and his edicts of a certain amount of MPG. So, the cars are made of aluminum today and really are suicide machines. These cars were beautiful and impressive even today.
I used to vacation Ogden, Utah to Las Vegas in my 1975 Lincoln. 110 miles per hour and 11 miles per gallon with airconditioning.
Ha! yes! I had a 77 coupe 460. I never got to 110 (85 for me) but I'm sure it rode as well as it did at 70. Best riding car I ever owned. My 89 TC was close though.
lincolns and continentals were two different divisions back in those days! the continental had the breezeway rear window plus minor cosmetic changes! they made the continental the lincoln model starting in 1961!
Hola sr este hermoso carazo es muy distuiguido en su época y se distuige de loa demás carros y además tiene un hermosa historia que le pesa en la marcan lincon y es parte de la historia del hermoso país de los estados unidos de América y le mando un cordial saludo de tu amigo de siempre fco Nares c hoy b4 junio 2019 saludos desde mi país de México
There is a near identical '59 that shows in this area, but it has leather. I've had 18 of these 58-59-60's.only drawback, they all got TEN mpg
The "other" drawback is the tire size: 9.50 x 14. Only these Lincolns and a few Chrysler IMPERIALS used this size. Cadillacs never went to a 14".
If one can afford to buy it, don't think fuel consumption would be a concern...da
That thing needs three big smoke stacks on the roof because it's a freaking ship!
It was a normal automobile. This was before the lying "fuel saving" junk of the 1970's. The era of double digit inflation and double digit unemployment. The peanut Carter ruined America. Thanks to the loser Obama, Carter moved up one notch.
Big enough for four!
Luxury built by proud American designers and Company
I can't think of any other way to refer to it other than the mother ship! Vast changes were made on it during that three year period, but still, you rarely see it!
These fell out of favor in the public eye upon the release of the 1961 Lincoln Continental with it's iconic suicide doors; made so famous by the Presidential X-100 limousine. What a time capsule this automobile is. I'm sure it sold for more than it cost new.
Yes, the 1961 Continental was a gorgeous car. I had one. Wish I still did. Another winner is the 1956 Continental Mark II
The 1960s models were just too severely plain.
Like a VAULT!
Gotta love the "fish tank effect" of these old cameras.
Todd Wall makes the roof look rubberised as he moves around..lol
The tires cannot be original, I would love to own this car, I would treat it like a baby, drive it only on Sunny days. Awesome, someone give it to me, please?
OK, Bernie!
my father had one just like this same color and interior
Lincoln then......Lincoln now.....who would have thought.
@John Texas up to a couple years ago, the Escalades handled a bit different than a Tahoe, had a bigger engine also. A friend of mine worked at a luxury used car lot about 15 years ago, and moving the SUVs around you could tell the difference
@John Texas they sure looked better, until GM redid the Denali . Lincoln started it with the Navigator so everyone got on the band wagon, including Lexus, and they sell them, My point was the earlier Escalades had a bigger engine and handled differently but I think that all ended about 10 years ago
but people who bought those luxury cars that our parents bought or maybe we did later, are either few or dead, most people today want a SUV or a smaller sporty luxury car, nothing like the big cars of the past, its a bit sad when Lincoln brings back the Continental and they sell just a few of them
@John Texas California, we've talked about old 60s Mercury's before, it's been a while though.
@John Texas I live by a elementary school, you should see the SUVs and trucks dropping off kids. .
Hope you have a merry Christmas, and lets hope for a good 2020
Only a dream............
The wind noise in the microphone is totally irritating. I watched with closed captioning. And I read an earlier comment: "Unfortunately, the only way to keep something perfect is to never use it. What kind of pleasure is something that is stashed away in a storage facility?" The answer is fairly simple: the same kind of person that would live in a house with a living room straight out of Architectural Digest that everybody walks by and admires but never steps in much less feels comfortable sitting down--and probably a pretty good bet that all the furniture will be in fitted plastic covers.
My experience is Pot metal was designed to have a max life of 50 yrs. It literally starts puffing from the inside out., It all needs to be copper plated to hold it together then triple chromed to preserve. Very expensive to do..thousands and thousands and thousands to save all the pot metal.
Pot metal is cast zinc and thus very porous. It could have been electroplated, but car mfrs never intended on cars lasting 50 years.
Jet engine included in each end of the front bumper.
You'd better take good care of this!
car doors now don't 'clunk' like that when you close them.
How dare this guy put the right side passenger floor mat back the way he did. The car is gorgeous though.
But what was it rated for mileage, & what did you average with the air conditioning on?!!!!
Very Cute :-) Actually, my guess would be 6-7 City and Maybe 11-13 Highway. But back then gas was like 25 cents a gallon and no one cared !!
If you had to ask, you couldn't afford it.
Obviously it is a gorgeous car....the announcer said it spent the last 35 years in a climate control building...........why would it look any differently now, then from the day it went into storage?
So, which is the '59 Lincoln with the triple taillights and the rear window that goes up and down??? Continental?
Continentals had the retracting rear windows
Mercury had one like that too.
can you imagine driving to the mall and not finding a place to park this behemoth.next to impossible.
You could take the mall home with you in that enormous car! The back seat could hold the entire food court.
What's up with the hanging wires under the dash ?
Lincoln PREMIERE, not “Premier.”
Wow, you are RIGHT. This has been up for 7 years and no one caught that! Thanks!!
It may not be "restored" per se but it has been repainted and detailed. Yes, this car is in magnificent condition. Still, the styling was rather odd. A bit too bulky as well. Ford Motor came out with a much better luxury sedan with the '61 Continental.
Can anyone explain to me the difference between the Continental and the Premiere? I notice there are subtle changes around the car.
The Continental was the top-of-the-Lincoln-line.. in '58 - '60. The Premier was the middle-of-the-line. I forget the name of the bottom-of-the-line.
@@34Packardphaeton probably Capri
When are you pitting that in my garage.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😄
my father had one in same color and year
Were is the car today does the owner have it on the market
I have no idea. I made this video more than TEN years ago!
@@thecardsaysmoops well you did a great job is there a way to find out
How many laps around that behemoth equals a mile?
4
good thing i did not buy this car …i would drive the hell out of it and enjoy it.
my father had a 1958 lincoln continental convertable 2 door that was driveable but needed to be restored to be a really nice car and it was suppose to go to my sister after he passed away and i was suppose to get his 1936 dodge brothers coupe and he had that in his will but his second wife destroyed the will and claimed there was none and stole both cars and the dodge was titled in my name but nobody seemed willing to help us and now she has moved out of state. her name is nadeen peterson unless she has changed it or is using one of her other names. i think i was told she moved to montana or minasota so if anyone knows her dont get involved with her because she will rob you blind and ruin your life
lincolns and continentals were two different divisions back in those days! they made the continental the lincoln model starting in 1961!
Imperial LeBaron my fathers car was a lincoln continentel and it was a two door convertable it was a kind of rare car so i have been told
+Imperial LeBaron It's nice to know that you were the one to eat the chalk in elementary school...
The Bacon Tree at least i wasnt the one who was eating the paste so i feel sorry for you and hope you get help
@@imperiallebaron2134 I believe the Continental Division was dissolved and blended into Lincoln in 58. Some 58's were called Continental III's without the Mark designation. Then Continental Mark 4 in 59 and Mark 5 in 1960. The Lincolns were Capri and Premiere. Same basic car, just different trim levels. The Continental's were top of the line with the Breezeway rear window. Starting in 1961 the only designation was Lincoln Continental.
Fixing that a/c so it blows ice cold is gonna cost a pretty penny....
Does this car have A/C?
Yes.
How many miles?
I think I saw 17,789. And from it's condition, I would presume that to be original. At 6:38 and 11:06 you get a pretty good shot at the odometer.
@@mark9531 If it is that low, that is a strong selling point...what kind of a salesman is this guy?
@@curbozer5006 That is a tank of a car. It is 19+ feet long. The trunk is big enough to hold Jimmy Hoffa, John Kennedy, and Adolf Hitler. Probably gets 8 miles to the gallon going downhill.
The guy's name is Bob Mayar. He was a news reporter in Miami from the 60s to 90s. I guess he is dealing in vintage cars now.
bad camera have you used, it is anoing this movie, but wonderful car
So is this one like the one Neil Young has?

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party and Greta FFF Inc. gave order to shorten fuel supply
from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated
central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare
parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even
some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same
from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars
any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called
emissions and smoke crime. so beware of expensive cars today they will
be forbidden and worthless tomorrow!!!! Beware of combustion cars!!!!
Where is your SOURCE for these new laws, especially the ones affecting the United States?
The pushers of such laws will be executed by then.
@@Dallas_K China controls most politicians!
Garish land yachts they were. There are a lot of waves in the front bumper and that indicates it was redone. The repaint killed whatever special status the seller was trying to achieve.
