History Unique front end

is there any kind of "back story" on this unique front end work?? Who...what...where?? thank you...

 

Sorry....

 

ummm I think you forgot something.

I don't have an answer, but I hope that is a really bad photoshop....

 

Looks like a Photoshop job to me.

Doc.

 

I saw this car at Hershey in the swap meet area last year and it had a placard telling its history. I took a picture of both the car & placard, but I'm not sure where I put them. I'll take a look and post 'em if I can find them.

 

Nope, it was really done and in the flesh, so to speak. Another idea gone bad, IMO.......

 

That was a factory dual grille design tried out by Lincoln design group. Never made it to production.

 

I'm pretty sure ChevyGirlRox can tell you all about it...

 

One similar to this has been posted before, but I can't recall the specifics. I think I remember it was said to be someone in the Lincoln division's flight of fancy that was only a one year (or less) offering, because, well, look at it. (Actually, it sort of reminds me of what some say the Edsel grill looks like.)

 

I posted about it on the P15 forum......and one fellow produced the
pic of the placard. Scroll down to the bottom of the posts and then
click on the placard pic to enlarge.

This car was at the Jalopy Showdown, no photoshop here

 

A part of me died

 

Warms my heart to know that in a decade or so, people will look at what a lot of guys on here have built and wonder what the hell were they thinking.

 

Wow! That was really done! Sorry for questioning you. I should have done some research before opening my big mouth!

Doc.

 

Why Wait??? I wonder that now with out waiting a decade lol , to each their own , not sure they were or are thinking some things I see , well leave it at that .

 

That was from the Hartung Auction in Chacago about two years ago. Bob

 

Lincoln had nothing to do with it. The car came from the Hartung collection, but the front end was one guy's idea of what a custom should look like

Yup.

Don't even think about copying the idea....

It's patented...

First there were drugs. That front end followed shortly.

 

has the same appeal as the two headed cow in the side show....you look...but it is not right.

 

EGAAAAADS a face only a mother could love!!

 

X-2 bad drugs result in a bad trip in a fugly automobile

 

that car came out of the leroy hartung collection from wheeling il

the car was built by a guy from the chicago area he is also the same guy who invented the vent window on car .... he also did a packard can't remember his name but im sure u would find it it google

 

The only thing that would make that right is to lift the hood and find side-by-side straight eights.

 

I dunno, first time I saw that picture, I was thinking "Well, double-breasted suits were popular back then, also"


Later, Kinky6

 

Here is a nice full size picture for your viewing enjoyment.......

 

Looks like the sort of car M.C. Escher would build!

Doc.

 

I got vertigo the first time I looked at that!

 

I do that already.
