Another good pick Wyatt . I always like the 57 Lincoln Premier casting and when the "Class of 57" one came out. I found my 5 star version of this great JL .

If i had to pick a favorite year for any car 1957 would be it.Nice choice Wyatt

[accobra64]

Thanks Wyatt for another fine installment of The Picture Of The Week.
This is another nice casting that was originally produced by Playing Mantis.
Wyatt, I look forward to each new subject each week.
This is a highlight of my regular visits on a Saturday.
And if I am home Saturday morning after you post it, it is the first thing that I check out.
Thanks for all the hard work that you put into producing and posting these images.
It is greatly appreciated.

This is my contribution to the subject matter:



I hope that Lummox does get to see this one as he is a fan ot this particular casting.

Cheers. Cobra

I only have the AD Rods RL4 one, but i would add more if i found them.

ac, I am glad you and others seem to enjoy the picture of the week. Sometimes I think maybe the board is getting burned out on it but it always seems to make for a good discussion.

[69Stang]

Cool stuff as allways!

[Fury Us]

........ Sometimes I think maybe the board is getting burned out on it .......

Perish the thought, Wyatt. I think there's more of us who enjoy them that might not post.

Now here's a little info from conceptcarZ.com:

The 1957 Lincoln was an updated version of the all-new 1956 model, which itself was inspired by Ford's 1955 Futura show car.

For 1957, Lincoln sprouted blade-like rear fins and a novel Quadra-like headlamp system that featured regular lights plus smaller 'road' lights operated via a separate switch. The Quadra-Like system was Lincoln's response to several state legislatures which were threatening in 1956 to block the industry-wide adoption of quad headlamp systems.

The 1957 Lincoln Premiere featured a 368 cubic-inch, 300 horsepower V8. Standard safety features included a new padded dash, 'deep-dish' steering wheel and reinforced door latches. Safety belts were optional.

Never borrowing.
Quite the contrary.
I feel guilty that I should be digging out some castings each week to help contribute to the discussion.
I am sure that there are many members who have never seen many of the castings that you feature in your images.
I applaud your efforts.

Cheers. Cobra

Wyatt my only complaint about cast of the week is that just about every week I see another casting that I have either, never known about, forgot I had or never purchased. All this has done is caused my diecast fund to be eaten up just a bit quicker. I have added several of these cars to my ever growing collection.

That's just good old-fashioned Madison Avenue advertising at it's best!! EFFECTIVE!!!

Don't ever think that the POTW is getting old Wyatt!!!! I alway's look forward to your next selecting . Plus it gives J. Koch a chance to add his behind the scenes touch to them. Allowing us every day collectors in on some cool info .

[James]

CotW is still great, and appreciate all you do to set it up. I have a suggestion, maybe I should PM it to you, no wait I'll just spit it out, There should be more Bowtie CotW.


ouch, quit throwing things at me Dude. ............................... Hey its a little diecast Mustang, hmmmmmmmmmmmm nice too. Geee Thanks

[zilleonti]

I have 2 of the SEP's and 1 of the Clue's.
... Gotta love the Lincolns!!!

[davidj]

There is a lot of detail and crisp lines on this casting and it must have an opening hood. I must have purchased the Monopoly and poker versions of this cast but I think that is it. I like the trunk lid detail that can be seen on the blue model in the pic and I must admit I had never noticed that before, and am not that familiar with the "real" car. Wyatt, I too look forward to these pics and hope they continue! There have been some that I also have started to look for because I appreciate the nice work JL did other than just because I collect a particular car (CAMARO!!!). So, thanks again!!

So, this Lincoln actually has roots in the BATMOBILE...never knew that. Thanks, Mark for the x-tra research!

Wyatt, POTW is great...keeps the boards fresh and sometimes we learn something we never knew.

[lummox]

Hey ya'awl!
I'll sign the Petition for the Continuance of the Picture of the Week.
It's a good thing!
Cobra's right. Lummox Love Lincolns! I had a '66 and a '71. The '71 was just about the best car I've owned.
A very refined and nice looking auto. Probably the pinnacle of older automobile design in alot of ways. (Like newer cars matter )

Dirty-Dav!e

[AQUA XK8]

Picture of the week...please keep it going Wyatt.

[martijn'75]

Wyatt, I never get tired of the POTW concept so keep bringing that good stuff!! The Lincols are looking fine as always. Thanks for the eye candy!
