- Is this a Hollywood film premiere? No! It's a LINCOLN Premiere!
In this highlight video, Donald explores this MASSIVE Land Yacht! The Lincoln Premiere comes in at almost 19 feet in length - yet was still a powerful and fast car in 1957 when it was released. Originally priced at $5,290, this behemoth oozes 1950s style and luxury. With its chrome accents, large rear fins, and sleek design, if you pulled up in a Lincoln Premiere, you were sure to feel like the star of the show!

Best description I have ever heard on how to drive a classic car briskly.
That's an Incredibly Beauuutiful Car!💕
Love all the info shared but some under the hood and more interior shots would be nice ( yes like Leno )
We hear you! Thank you for the feedback!
Our neighbors had a cream-colored 1957 Premiere with white and turquoise upholstery and a continental kit! Theirs had air conditioning, with the scoops in the rear panels, the transparent tubes running from the rear deck and the 4 nozzles in the headliner. Quite a vehicle.
Those tubes would turn yellowish after being in the sunlight for a couple of years...and they would block rearward vision, to an extent. But these 57s were just awesome, luxurious cars--preferable to Cadillac, IMO.
I remember the first time standing next to 1956 Lincoln Premiere coupe , it was my good friend's birthday and a car club member in San Diego offered to chauffeur him to brunch!
We had a very long driveway , extra wide and that car still seemed to take up a lot of real estate!
I was absolutely stunned by the proportions and the incredible COLOR!
Wysteria! Absolutely gorgeous
A true Land Yacht indeed!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your rich and exuberant way with these cars you feature.
This Premier is luscious. Pink, (coral), color is great!
Thank you for watching!
Missed this episode. Beautiful car
Beautiful piece of American automotive history Donald! A true land yacht!
Thank you for watching!
Good evening Donald . As always we can rely on your attire to compliment the motorcar . I agree that the 1950's was the epitome of the American land yacht. Luxurious limosines built at the height of Detroit decadence .....deliriously delicious ! Thankyou Donald .
Thanks for the support!
Excellent show Donald. Love those land yachts.
Thanks for watching!
Such an awesome ride!
It really is!
I'm just here to check on which bow tie Donald is rocking today -)
Looks like stylish sunflowers to us!
Beautiful. Definitely a Land Yacht. I've never seen this model. Rare gem.👍👍❤❤❤😎
Many thanks!
My uncle had what looked like dark purple with a yellow and white interior .what a car
Beautiful car. Should have mentioned Jayne Mansfield in the video clip.
Donald…. I am loving this “Land Yacht” series! I was just a kid in the 1960’s but I remember many of these cars still driving around.
And I do hope this channel increases its subscribers because it is so much fun to watch!
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned, because there's more Land Yacht content on the horizon!
Donald, this car was so big, the front end arrived at your destination about 10 minutes before the back end! Beautiful car to go cruising in. Your looking mighty dapper today!
Very true! haha thank you for watching!
Two questions:
What’s the location that the video was recorded at? Beautiful park like setting, looks like the same location 12:57 used for last week’s 1903 Winton video.
What was the source of the tone that was present in the audio at the start of the video and intermittently throughout the rest of it, seemed to be most pronounced when slowing down and accelerating? Transmission related?
Beautiful car, Thanks for posting! 1956 was a good year for styling across all of the American car manufacturers.

56 and 57 Lincolns might be my vote for most underrated car of the 50s. The styling is so good, and the cars have immense presence in person. That said, it is hard to argue with 50s Cadillacs...
The Lincoln makes a statement for sure!
Naw...Cadillacs of those years were much bulkier-looking...the 56-57 Lincolns were much more swoopy/futuristic!
Never been a fan of the Premiere of the late 50’s, but I really liked the Mk IV. It just had a little something extra that did it for me.
You’re gonna drive me to drinkin’ if ya don’t stop drivin that Hot…Rod…Lincoln
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
When the Fords and the Lincolns were settin' the pace? 🚗💨
Always really enjoy the content again Migwech from Toronto ❤️ Would lov 2 see a new episode of mansions n motor with Jay Leno n Donald thnx ❤️✌️🇨🇦
Thank you for watching, John!
New Season of Mansions & Motorcars is coming sooner than you may think!
Do you have a favorite episode so far?
Excellent news! Mansions and Motors is a fantastic series….could watch Donald and Jay all day long.
Over 50 years ago, I owned a very low mileage (33,000) original 57 Premiere. sorry Donald, but I disagree with your hyper-inflated flattery about this cruiser!. The car did have 300hp, from that Y-block 368ci engine. But the car was heavy and ponderous...0-60 was 11 seconds or so. Not exactly a "fast" vehicle, by any means.I will say that it was very sumptuous inside--something you did not feature much!...and the car even had power "wing" windows! Amazing for 1957. But I will repeat...powerful maybe, but fast? Nope!...And the vehicle would wallow in tighter turns. It is what it is...truly a land "boat"!
How about you in this one and Jay in one of his Chrysler 300 series car??? Sounds like fun to me.........
That would be a good head to head!
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork Not performance-wise, though...those 300s sported more powerful engines, and would wax the Lincoln in any drag race!
Thanks…. The 1957’s were especially flashy(?): at the tim3, I was just over ten years old ; the Lincoln’s, 57 CHEVY BELAIR CONVERTIBLE , F CODE FAIRLANE 500( esp in those colors Corals/ BLACK-Gold/pastels/)/SPORT FURY D500/ TBIRD F CODES/ Chrysler300 , were exciting* times……ps: I am oddly curious & interested in details of maintenance, filters, fluids, pArts, options, et al!!!!!
Those details you mention actually are too comples to mention in this type of video.
Have a beautiful day Everyone
You as well, Thanks for watching!
The ponk Cadillac supposedly Elvis gave them away like in fleets.
Talk about quality reviews. This is it. I do have to take issue with you on one point though. The term " land yacht" , to my mind really demeans the car, it is not an impressive term, but rather insulting, and overshadows the positives.
Glad you enjoyed the video! For us, "land yacht" is a term of endearment. Just as yachts are prestigious and command attention out on the ocean, "land yachts" do so on the road. We hope you come visit the museum and check out the exhibition, Land Yachts - Cruising the Interstate Highways! Our admiration for these vehicles will surely show.
P.S. Nice Hudson in your profile picture! Have you seen our video about the Hudson Commodore? czcams.com/video/Ker4J4tMGPw/video.html
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork You have the unique ability to change my thoughts here and that's no easy feat. I have never in my life thought of the use of the term "land yacht" in this positive manner. Extraordinary. A 180 degree turn. LOL!
Yes. That profile you did on that Commodore was just exquisite. The Hudson was exquisite. You were exquisite. When you do have just a moment, I invite you to click on the link so you can view my 49 Commodore, Straight 8. I think it would be love at first site. czcams.com/video/EPBorxR27Gk/video.html Edited to say, yes, my plans to visit the museum is definitive. I will be there. Hopefully, maybe, so will you.
Actually, it is what it is!..I owned one, and the lethargic handling and somewhat lazy acceleration qualify it as being some sort of "boat"!...But I loved the car anyway, many years ago. I regret not keeping it forever!
"the Elephant in the Room" - Those Trousers ! ! !
Opener says its a '56, white slacks Donald (00:46) says its a '57. Can't you guys just get along? 🙂
Even seasoned pros make mistakes 😂 good catch!
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork You also mentioned something about the car having 368hp...but a few seconds later, you got it right--300hp.
Nice Pajama’s trousers
Face it, Donald Is likely better dressed right out of bed than most people when they're actually trying.
So I agree, Nice pants
Nice! Today's look like beans.
I’m afraid you don’t fully understand what an American oversized car meant in European film.
What's holding this channel back is the host.
It is a 1957 not a 1956 Lincoln
Donald, you are merely hustling this car to us...This is not your type of vehicle...we know that you prefer good-handling, fast vehicles, frequently of foreign origin. This car is beneath your elegant appreciation of finer automobiles. In no way is it a "sports car"...maybe a 57 T-Bird would come closer to qualifying for that type of talk, but not this ponderous (but yes, rather beautiful) example of mid-century excess, form-over-function, etc. Stay true to what you enjoy, Donald. We do not need the sales pitch!
