What did Mr. Goodpliers buy from the Bill Rost collection in Utica Nebraska? It's a 1957 Lincoln Capri two door hardtop, the first of the picks. Come along and see the loading and walk around of this vintage car!

Think these are my favourite 50s Lincoln, even more than the Continental. This one has a lot going for it, most of the trim looks usable, it’s a two-door and if it’s solid underneath it would be a worthwhile if somewhat involved restoration. Pity the glass is damaged. Being one year only might make finding parts a little tricky but you’d have a great and rare car at the end. Really like to see some updates on this, it’s great that you save them but what happens next?

The bumper hitch looks light enough to think the transmission didn’t burn up from towing an overloaded trailer on a flat Nebraska highway. May have trailered something light weight like lawnmowers for a retired guy cutting lawns locally. If you have serious pollen allergies, would not get into car until it is cleaned and or disinfected properly. (Lysol spray). Windows too. Prevent any black fungus that is always around, but more opportunistic as the pandemic winds down, as found in India. Would add air conditioning.

Not everyone loves the 57 Lincoln, I always did. I think Lincoln would have been better off had they just updated this design for 58&59. The Corporation lost 60 million 1950s dollars doing the new 58-60 Lincoln and they didn't sell as many of those every year as Lincoln sold in 56&57 . In 57 they sold 41,123 and in 56 they sold 50,322, both years they sold more than imperial
