 However big and however roomy it may be, a sedan should still be graceful. We submit this 1956 Lincoln Premiere Four-Door Sedan as evidence of this Lincoln styling doctrine. For all its great size and luxury, this fine car retains all the lithe and trim Lincoln look. It is big - much longer over all than even last year's Lincoln. Inside, both front and back, it offers so much more hip, leg, and shoulder room that six husky men with their hats on can slip in easily and never crowd one another. And from the rear, Lincoln's identity is clear, yet clean and simple. Back-up lights are completely hidden, helping to achieve that uncluttered look. See, too, how the new textured metal pattern joins naturally with the horizontal flow of the rear deck and bumpers, and with the new integrated jet-pod exhausts, to tell you even from a distance that this is unmistakably Lincoln for 1956.

Superlative luxury sets the new Premiere series above all others, even the new Capri - as evidenced in this interior for the new Lincoln Premiere Four-Door Sedan. Black Lurex tweed, which is touched with inter-woven metallic threads for a note of interest, is set off by the distinctive beauty of hand-boarded leather in Lincoln's own Island Coral shade.  Remember - it's just one of 27 possible choices for the 1956 Lincoln.

If you wanted to explain the complete Lincoln idea to somebody, you could simply show him this new 1956 Premiere Coupe. As you can see, the absence of window posts accentuates the long, unbroken lines that characterize all Lincoln models. You can see here, too, the distinctive new mesh treatment around the headlights, the flowing horizontal lines of the bumper-grille, and the new parking and turning light integration. You can't tell from the picture, though, what Lincoln's low hood and high fender line mean in extra visibility - how even a small woman driver can see all four fenders as guide for parking and passing. And you won't know how close to the ground this Lincoln is until you stand beside it - and look down at the top. The picture doesn't show you, either, the full wonders of the new interiors in the Premiere series, which surpass even the Lincoln Capri in tasteful richness.

In interior luxury, the new Premiere series even surpasses the luxurious Capri series. Here, light blue leather bolsters contrast texturally with the deeper blue of the tweed seats. The marvelous softness and distinctive grain of the leathers shown here is achieved through hand-boarding the finest of top-grain leathers. It's a long, expensive process, but well worth it for the added pleasure it will bring to Lincoln owners. This is one of 27 interior choices for the Premiere Coupe.
