1955 Lincoln Capri Ed Sullivan

Ed Sullivan. M.C. of Toast of the Town, and Julia Meade introduce New Lincoln. Monitor sets show new rear deck, new longer body, new front assembly.

Camera one! Close up! Take the new Lincoln for 1955

First you notice its unusual beauty; the dramatic new tail-lights, the sweep of the chrome, the new front end treatment, the 11 1/2 inch longer body, the lower, flowing look.
But perhaps even more exciting is the story on performance – further enhanced by new Turbo-Drive – biggest news in no-shift driving in almost 15 years. Here is no frustrating lag, no unpleasant jerk, but one unbroken sweep of silent power, from zero to superhighway speeds.
Turbo-Drive is especially designed and built to work in harmony with Lincoln’s brand new, high torque V-8 engine for 1955. But you must feel this action to believe it. You Lincoln dealer will be glad to let you drive a Lincoln or a Lincoln Capri. You’ll know you’ve made a wonderful discovery the moment that Lincoln’s wheels begin to turn.

Nowadays, you can tell the man by the car he keeps.
Obviously, the car you see here belongs to a person who like to go places. And he likes to get there with a minimum of effort and a maximum of pleasure.
We had such a man in mind when the design of this 1955 Lincoln began. And we have our designers and engineers a goal that we believe has been achieve.
The ain was this: to build a fine car with action to surpass any other car – with beauty to match the tastes of Americans on the move who demand the finest.
Lincoln achieves matchless action with its new Turbo-Drive and new high torque V-8 engine. These two combine to set a new standard for fine-car performance.
Here is a new combination of utter smoothness with ultra quick acceleration. No jerk, no lag – just one unbroken sweep of power from zero to superhighway speed limits.
If you want a car with performance far ahead of its time – a car with beauty that speaks for itself and says so much about your own good taste – the new 1955 Lincoln is for you.
Prove it to yourself with a visit to your Lincoln dealer, to look at a new Lincoln Capri – and to drive one.
