it was custom built for President Harry Truman,
the White House continued using it until 1961

which utilized a ball joint suspension
Capri being the most expensive Lincoln came with leather interior
and a Dual-Range Hydra-Matic transmission

New styling gave the Capri a more aerodynamic feel
it still was not as popular as its closest competition the Cadillac

Cost: $3,550.00

1954 Lincoln1954 Lincoln Capri

The four door sedan (shown) was the best selling model
yet it still only ranked 15th among auto sales
higher bold chrome spears gave it a new look even though not much had changed

Cost: $3,910.00 1956 American Car1956 Lincoln Premiere

Another redesign, but this one more successful
a wrap around windshield was added as well as dual exhausts

sales nearly doubled for Lincoln

Cost: $4,605.00 50s American auto1956 Continental Mark II

This car started as a separate division of Ford but eventually melded into Lincoln
it was an attempt to recapture the high end market by making a luxurious carefully crafted car
the simulated spare tire bulge gave it a classic look from the 40’s

sales nearly doubled for Lincoln

Cost: $9,500.00 1957 Lincoln car1957 Lincoln Premiere

This model was offered with sumptuous colorful interiors
the twin headlights allowed for regular lamps and smaller road lamps
they were controlled by a separate switch

Were you wondering where it went,
a redesigned and much less sophisticated model rolled out of Lincoln’s factory
gone was the graceful European flair in was the heavily sculpted look of “heavy metal”

Cost: $6,075.00 1959 Lincoln car1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

The Continental by this time more resembled a Capri
