How many Lincoln Premieres are left in New Zealand?
Super rare 1 in 519,430 on the road Built 1956-1960 American
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A Lincoln sold from 1956 to 1960, introduced above the Capri. The 1956 car was long, low and clean, and widely admired. The 1958 to 1960 cars that followed were enormous, among the largest cars ever built with unitary construction, and their sculpted sides and canted headlights are pure late-1950s America.
