    Well I never thought I'd do it but i sold my 52 ford customline after owning it for nearly 7 years. I passed it along to a fellow club member to get the car I never thought I'd actually own. Love it or hate it I've been in love with 1958 Lincolns ever since i first saw a picture of one. I found this gem in Chicago. All original, unmolested, runs n drives. No rot, no mud, original paint, original interior, power everything. Original 430 with a cruise o matic 3 speed. Everything works except for the dash lights and two of the power windows. I couldn't be happier with it! I drove it to work the day after i got it and it was a dream. So here's some pictures, enjoy!

    I am a sucker for canted quads. Great find and enjoy the ride.
    I followed a beautiful, mint, restored black 1960 Lincoln ragtop down the highway a couple of weeks ago. Great era for Lincolns.

    I was a kid, but I really liked the canted headlights when they came out in 58.. Looks like a very nice example of a very cool Lincoln...
     
  20. Aerostar springs were crushed by my '53 Desoto,,,no chance with that,,,,,,,,,,,

    Figured out the windows! Two fried motors, 3 fried switches. I had to see it with the windows down though...
