History What is it?

I was at a local salvage yard and they let me walk around. They have alot of old cars. This is one i am not surebi have seen before.

 

Lincoln

 

Continental.

 

Dang, that was quick gents!

 

What year, is it, I could read the script.

 

Amazing how small they actually are in person... I found two in upstate South Carolina and they were both in worse condition than that one.

 

I would like to have the bumper

They have alot of 40, 50, and some 30's.

 

I believe that's a 1940. EDIT: turns out it's a 41.

 

mcmopar,...thanks fer the info....

 

They were flathead V12

 

She's crusty, but sure would be fun to fix up and build a custom.

 

Sexy front end !

 

Looks like it.

 

Looks like a similar vintage Lincoln sedan parked next to it in the first couple of pictures.

 

I think that's a 1941 because of the parking lights on top of the front fenders. But 40-41 look almost identical.

 

edsel's baby; henry hated it.

 

With the grille gone it does make it confusing, but the parking lights should make it a '41 as Dan said. Can't remember what the details were on those two in SC, they were barely recognizable

 

Well... this one wasn't really that hard...

 

Aren't those brakes and wheels a wanted item?

 

They stop a lot better than Early Ford brakes. They are self-energizing. I had them on my 39 sedan. World of difference over the 39-48 Ford Lockheed style brakes.

They are available aftermarket, so not of sure the savings of restoring some crusty originals.

 

Henry hated most things.

 

This belongs to a guy in my little town. The T-Top Trans Am just above the Lincoln hood is his, too.

Like 36cab pointed out when the name is on the cowl it’s rather simple to ID a mystery car!

 

25 posts, and no-one has realised it's a Dodge that some customiser has added Continental badges to.

@VANDENPLAS would be ashamed of us.

Cheers,

Well I didn’t have a clue and didn’t zoom in on the pics. So I have an excuse of not seeing the badges.
But I think @mcmopar has some explaining to do since he was up front and personal with it

 

I was dreaming about her the other day.....

 

Literacy is a beautiful thing.

Heck you don't even need to read all the letters if you know what your options are. Not like Lotus was making cars in that era.

That's the kind of attitude you need to get a business off the ground.
