Finally took the plunge and bagged the continental... yeah yeah bags are for fags whatever... The civil rights cruisers more of a custom now at least. I need a good upholstery shop in Slowcal.
Nice! ...and excellent timing as I'm helping a friend figure out a bag set-up for his '62 Continental. Can you fill me in on the details of yours? ...for an interior, you might want to check out Sammy Head down on 190 St. 1 blk. west of Hawthorne Blvd. in Torrance/Redondo. He's a rodder and does proper work.
Well if bags are for fags, then I'll... nah nevermind Looks great dude.. Lincolns can pull off bags, they had them stock.
So now the Lincoln is a 4 bagger, maaaan that's bad. Sorry I just couldn't resist. I'm not a big bag man myself but I've got to say its got two things going for it. It looks good and you can drive it. I'm guessign you can't really ask for much more than that.
gotta 64 i been thinking of selling latly...but this is definatly motivation to keep it ......nice ride man....i too am curious...how did you set up the rear...does the axle sit on the unibody? or did you have to some how notch it out ? what type of suspension you using under it 4 link?
OH! That says HOLLYWOOD!!! Car looks like it was ment to be... Great job! I like the T'bird style grille, too. So---where did you find all that clean air? (You can even observe The Observatory!)
Glad to see Lincoln's getting the respect and attention they deserve. Did install the bags yourself or did a shop do it? I've been thinking about bagging mine.
Rear didn't have room for a 4 Link setup so its a leaf setup. The axle isn't the limiting factor its the tire size that keeps it from going even lower in the back. In the front the factory A Arm geometry is the limiting factor. Would have to make some tubular ones or do some hacking to get it lower... Its low enough... Thanks for the kind words.
Look's beautiful. Man, would a real cross county tour in this car keep you high for month's. It scream's 'Vegas Rat Pack'!! Play some Frankie, Dino and Sammy, bay-be.
Had Universal Air Suspension do the install. Everyone else seemed to be booked. Skratch etc.. I tried to give some business to HAMBers but everyones busy. (a good thing)
It just doesn't get much better than that... Wish I still had my 65.... Sold it for $600 and the guy drove it 2500 miles across the country to his shop then restored it... Gotta find another one before.......
If you're gonna start caring what other people think,it's time to sell it! FUCK what anybody else thinks about bags. Car looks bitchin. I bet it will blow minds,pullin in somewhere with a stock looking car,then dumping it and watch the jaws drop. SWEET!
Looks great. I sold my 61 vert a little over a year ago. Super cool cars. I had the license plate RATPACK. No room in the trunk though when the top is down.
