I'm a purist when it comes to this car, but I concur. The car was designed around wearing silly hats in the car. JFK killed that fad, thankfully.
For those that believe that the Continental Division lived on to make the '58 Lincoln Continental Mark III. It was really just obvious...

They make headlight locating tabs for a reason. This is the Marty Feldman of Mark II-dom.
This is not a convertible. It's just a parade car. It's a clone of our Hess & Eisenhardt-made convertible made in 1955. The color is custom and...
There is a considerable amount of misinformation in the thread from the banned user. The reason the Futura is so low is that it's built on the...
[ATTACH] While about half were ordered cars, they weren't pre-sold at all. In fact, many orders were cancelled due to slow delivery. They...
Gordon Buehrig had nothing to do with the design. It was etched in stone before he was hired as body engineer. His task was to make the design...
This truck was a '92, I believe, too old for accident avoidance, but not too old that it didn't have cruise control set at 65.5. The black box...
Thank you.
I meant that clearly you understand. These are the State Police accident scene photos. No blood, but lots of twisted metal. The trailer passed...
I'm sorry for your loss. You understand that it's about the occupants, not the inanimate car.
The worst that can happen under Michigan law is 90-days in jail, a $500 fine and loss of the CDL for one year. With this on her record a trucking...
That's foolish. The car did nothing but hurt us. We flipped 5 times in the air and landed on the passenger side and merely rolled another 1/4 turn...
The car hurt us much more than helped us. Who really cares if the car survived?
Thanks for the kind words, but the laws of physics are what saved our lives. That's what I thank.
Here we are 2 years later and some of our physical problems have eased, but my wife's PSTD from the crash prevents us from traveling. The truck...
No, it wasn't. It was painted by Highlander. I have no idea who Don Chapman is.
If you're the queasy type. Don't look. However, the takeaway if you decide not to look is that you should always wear your seatbelt. They saved us...
The emblems are the same. They didn't use them on the Continental. Thanks for checking.
I thought to post this in Customs as it seem the most likely place to get a response. Please help me not spend $8,800 duplicating the hood trim...
We made it to Pebble Beach, with no time to spare. [img]
Current state of the Ruxton project. With a little help from some friends. [IMG] [IMG]
You know, the original Derham-made Mark II convertible blueprints exist, and I just happen to know the director of the car museum that has them. A...
Could I trouble you for the serial number. Does it have the 368 Y-block?
Great picture. Never saw that one before. What shop?
Thanks. That must have been a few years ago. I wish that show had continued.
I read that the early bodies were made by another Michigan body maker. Any info on this?
From what I understand George Barris' car, as you remember it, is currently being sold to Brett Barris.
You are incorrect. There were a few over 3,000 made. There were 2,550 made for the model year '56 ('55 and '56 production) and 444 '57s. You...
