Found a bubbletop car outside of a sexshop in chicago! really

ok so its not at a sexshop but the curent owner has asked me to help finish up his car and i thought i would share it with you all.

first off i have very few picture of the car from the 60's and could use ANY info you have on it very much. did this car have a name? I might have to finish this thing up on a tight budget but i still want to get it close as i can. it had been under a restoration (sort of) before and i have to change some things done then.
the cool part is we have the bubble, the injected lincoln engine is still in it (and runs) and the undercarage is beutiful and had the chrome still on it.heres some teasers and i hope you guys enjoy it. and again i could use and available pics or info.

 

All I'm seeing is red Xs and bad links.

 

for sure ! red X and bad links , let's see this !

 

Is that a kaiser?

 

continental mark II

 

wow , no info but that thing is crazy , any pics of the motor , looks like you got to it in time , by the looks of that billet steering wheel someone else had bad plans for it ?

 

Cool find!! But you might wanna run a blacklight over that thing before you get started!!! It is a sexshop and all.

 

Lincoln Mark II with a Mercedes grille?

Poor Car...


Are those a Futura Replica and a Batmobile beside it?

 

That thing is/was famous. I´ve seen old pics of it before.

 

That thing is crazy. The interior looks like it should be in a boat.

 

i think that it was used in an episide of the outer limits...the one with time travel

 

KOOL! but please get that damn 1/2 billet steering wheel outa there.......MOON might have gold flake wheel or ebay........besides that I like that bubbletop for guys with friends

 

the wheel in it should be wood buy i haven't found it among the parts yet

 

Isn't it a Barris car?

The red car is a Lincoln Futura replica.

 

it is and it isn't a barris car. it was built in his shop but i'm not sure how much he realy had to do with is or not. like i said i need more info

 

Wow, I've never seen a set of Walker wheels like those before. They are cool.

 

I dig the wheels!

it also was blue at one point and has had several chages in the interior. i go to the warehouse next week and get the top and any other parts they have. it will look as close as i can get it to its early 60's form. it all depends on the owner. but its going to be cool.

 

Yo, shizzle nizzle big daddy... That ride's PIMP-licious!

 

thanks zombie. heres the rest i have

 

that looks really cool need to chrome that grille again good luck with it

 

USE search here-----Alex Drier bubbletop?

That grille looks like an ol Merzedes grille.
Should not be that hard to find a good lookin one.

 

Hmmmm....Im not quite sure what to say about this.....hmmmmm. intersting, yes.

 

It was built in LA.

I believe that a guy named Ron Pereau from Iowa did the original interior (and maybe painted it...the gold flake is the original color) and that he may have done it while working at Barris' shop. Mid to late 60's.

The seats in the first photo look like his work, but the photo with all the fur does not look like the original interior, which was way more tasteful.

 

yeah like i said there is alot of research to be done and the interior went throuh alot of changes. thanks for the leads tom

 

I remember seeing that car on the cover of a magazine a long time ago;maybe CARS? I may have a copy of it but will take some time to check it out.I thought it was one of Starbird's creations.

 

I'm eatin' that interior up, reminds me of Mom

 

mercedes W111 ( Finny) Grill shell and hood ,with a peak down the middle and lengthened ,possibly widened. I like the lincoln front better,same style concept but more subtle.
