1957 Lincoln Premier

Description

This car was in the auction at Zephyrhills, Florida. It didn't sell at $20000. Notice the air conditioning. It was fairly common practice at the time to mount the evaporator in the trunk, with air intakes at the top of the rear quarter panels, and cool air exiting through plastic wands and distributed above the side windows. The earliest car with A/C, a prewar Packard, had a similar distribution system. As systems became smaller and more efficient, the modern practice of under and behind the dash mounting became the norm for evaporators. Notice how big this Lincoln is...and the observations about what collector cars are worth. In the end, something is worth only what someone else is willing to pay for it.
