Conversion?

 

Conversion?

 

36 Ford similar tratment to the Hirohata and Matranga Merc's. Done as a Hardtop three window

 

Is there a practical benefit for doing this or is it a ‘because I can’ mod? I could see doing this with modern twist-in bulbs, but having the bucket there seems to negate any gains.

 

I'm not positive, yet I believe the fenders were hand made and the car ran skirts on the front wheels along with them on the rear so it may be a lot of work if you need to change the lights and the headlight trim was hand made and does not have screws to access it from the outside...

 

I agree. What a great profile!

 

Holy*****! This car is stunning!

 

Lincoln Zephyr was offered in a 3 window cpe so those shown are not 3window conversions

 

mighty fine stock lines!

 

If you're talking about this one, I don't think that's a Zephyr.

There's a '36 3 window coupe that I did the bodywork on that was posted here, originally it was a 2 dr sedan. Karl Fisher is converting a 4 dr Zephyr into a 3 window coupe.
What I want to say is : it's not because you see a 3w coupe of an existing car that it's not a conversion.

 

So this is pretty amazing, can anyone help with a little back story? By the hood ornament maybe 37/38 Pontiac with a la salle grille and one off headlights? Just trying to learn…

 

The roof on that one looks more like a Merc. So no I wasn't referring to it.

 

I agree John Aiello and crew built it. I am sure it will receive a beautiful paint job here soon.

 

Yeah, so different yet looks amazing!!!

 

Actually I vetted most of them and these were 4 doors beforehand. I wasn't there and can not say definitively, yet I believe they were conversions.
