Lincoln:

I have a picture of two of Kaorl Miller's '56s together. One is a hardtop, like his original Bonneville car, orange/white/orange. The other is a convertible, it has orange in the center, white on the bottom. The top is down in the pic, so I don't know the top color. But, this is not to say it is a factory paint scheme. The original Ford code for the Mandarin orange was M-2J-533. The data plate code letter is N.

White,color,white that you ask about was available,but was a Special paint code and required a long wait for the car.

Lincoln:

Sorry, I can't do the scan and send thing with my ancient computer. He sent me the pics about 3 years ago. The two I mentioned, he also sent a pic of his two tone blue '56 HT, and he also has a '55 truck. He had talked about "thinning the herd", but I don't know if he has sold any of them. Except for the lack of holes in the front fenders and 4 exhaust pipes per side, the orange and white HT looks like it just came back from his Bonneville excursion. He did tell me that it has an I-6 in it, and he's building a souped 6 for it.
