Jesse,
I bought a two door Premiere in white in 1962 in Lebanon. It was the only one of its kind in the Middle East. I had it for four years and drove it from Lebanon to Holland four times over roads that resembled donkey tracks, yet olnly once did I have a problem with a bad rear wheel bearing that failed in Turkey. I drove it to Rome Italy before I found a replacement bearing, part number 88928 if my memory serves me right.
Best car I ever had. Thanks for showing the pictures.
