    Just found a 57 Lincoln Premier 2 door HT on Craigslist about 20 miles away from me. Looks to be worth saving, maybe customizing. Owner wants $2200 for it. Pink paint, 368 engine that turns over with the starter. All original. I have no involvement with this other than seeing the CL ad.
    Owner's name is Don, PH# 423 605 4545. On a side note, how do you transfer ads from another site such as CL to the HAMB? CL Chattanooga 57 Lincoln.jpg
     
  2. Yea, that seems like a deal!

    Looks like a lot of rust in the front door jamb and rocker area. Any more pics?

    Mark, I don't think so. It's posted in the Chattanooga CL September 29 in the auto parts section. It's in Etowah, TN about 20 miles from me

    I couldn't find it because you called it a 57, it is a 56

    That is seriously computer illiterate! wow, congrats on being alive today, and not knowing that. :)

    Find someone, anyone, to show you how to do it. I could do it, if I knew what type of device you are using.. Desktop computer? Phone?

    Hello,
    Take a screen shot of the ad from your phone. Save it to your files and now, you have a copy of the ad to place anywhere. Ccopy and paste it to a Word Document, adjust the size and now place it on the HAMB. If you can, copy the ad and place it on your thread.

    Jnaki
    It is very easy. Use your phone for the screen shot or take a clear photo of the ad.

    Not something I would build but it has some cool body lines . It has to be super rare . Hope someone buys it does a restoration that will preserve it some form for the future.

    I spotted that on craigslist.
    Looks like a bit of a project and a bit rusty

    In my estimation that is a heck of a deal. I paid about the same for the Studebaker in my avatar, the motor was locked, the interior was totally rotted away, and I ultimately spent as much on repair panels as for the car. I hope someone picks it up and gets it back on the road. I'd much rather look at one like that than a Camaro or a Tri Five Chevy.

    I would be dumb enough to just buy it and fix the brakes, fuel system, perhaps some wiring, and drive it around as is. I expect you could get a couple months of great tinkering out of this one! as long as you don't have any foolish dreams of making it into a nice car again.

    I'd say for 2200 with a motor that will turn over and its complete I'd say its worth it.

    Agree it needs work but look at what some want for just a model A shell...

    Bet it can be bought cheaper. 2200 means 2K, or 1500 if nobody bites soon. I love the lines, I'd love to have that 368, too.

  24. And it even has a title so you could actually use it without 3 miles of red tape.

    A (pink and white)Diamond in the rough. Floors look a little rough, but the interior sure looks decent. I guess it's a trade off, hope someone saves it!
     
  30. I had a big Lincoln like that way back in my early days when I was learning to shave with fingernail clippers.
    Note the huge motor and a carburetor the size of a teacup. o_O :confused:
