Trick Question For The Category

Any Lincoln fact related question can be posted here. Questions such as how many Contintenal convertibles were produced in MY1965? How much was the Town Car option in 1969? What size of tire was standard on a 1953 Premiere? or Does the Mark II retractible prototype still exist?

Trick Question For The Category

Post by TonyC »

Hi, all,

I can't believe that after all these years as part of the Forum that I only TODAY discovered the trick question in the description of this category...and I did a search, and I don't know if anyone else caught it. "What size of tire was standard on a 1953 Premiere?"

That could almost be a voir-dire question out of My Cousin Vinny: Lincoln didn't issue the Premiere until '56; the only models in '53 were the Cosmopolitan and the Capri. Unbelievable it took me 13 years to see that.

Speaking of Premiere, I think it's very cool that the new Continental has a Black Label "Premiere" option.

Not quite. "Premiere" is the name for the entry trim level in the Lincoln lineup. For most current Lincolns it goes Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Black Label.

Tony,

Did you know the 63 to 65 Buick Rivera drive shafts interchange for 64- to 69 Limo ?
Regular 64 to 69 sedans and coupes drive shafts will not interchange with the Limo.

Took me awhile to believe the facts.

A Riv drive shaft fits the Limousines?? I never would have thought that. :shock:
