New ride, I got me some fins!

Well my wish to own a '56 or '57 Lincoln came true this week, been wanting one for quite some time.
So, I guess all other projects will have to wait again.
Some small ideas as to what I want to do, can't decide on a colour though.
Anyone got any pics of this year model lincoln?
I love Moppes (I think that's his name) from Sweeden.
Can't seem to find many pics besides restored stockers.

 

That's dead ***y ...congratulations! Are you going to lower it? I actually don't mind the white ... maybe just some tasteful accents added to it?

 

Cool ride! Congrats!!

 

Thanks, yes, I will be lowering it and getting some wide whites, just need to sort out some electrics first.

 

Lowering and wide whites are all it needs. Make those changes, then enjoy it.

I love those cars.

 

Thanks Haring, It'll stay white for a while as you said I need to enjoy it for a little while before going the whole hog.

 

I bought one just like that one a couple of months ago. Mine is a capri though.

 

Cool! less electrics to fix, I'm pretty happy that the autronic eye still works though.
got any pics of the Capri?

 

Fine as wine Dude...enjoy

 

beautiful car man! little paint* action.

 

heres a shirt design I was working on of a lincoln I'd love to build. Its one year off though. I do love those too keep the progress pics coming.

 

Better than a picture:

Wish he hadn't sold it. They make bad*** cars, and don't require much.

 

Wow, thanks for the input guys.
Leadsleadolds, that is a cool design and I think '56's are simply just as cool.

Talisman, I have seen that youtube before, but enjoyed seeing it again. That sedan sits right on, cool draggin it's ***.

Speaking of draggin***, that photoshop? design is how I imagine it only with wide whites. Thanks.

 

Congrats Skippy what a cool ride. Enjoy!

 

Congrats. They're cool cars. Lowering is about all they need.

 

no just plain "paint" comes with every windows. you learn to use it well after a while lol

Too cool. Other than lowering it and a few accents and details, there isn't much room for improvement. It was a pretty cool custom when it rolled off the line. If you custom paint it eventually, don't get carried away and do anything to detract from the wonderfully sculptured lines. Definitely a case for less is more. Enjoy that head-turner!

 

Nice find. Lower it to the ground and runs the pipes under the doors. As far as color, the white is pretty rad, but I would probally paint it like a gold with some flake. Post more pics when you get it lowered and them whites on it.
Cheers,

 

I'm thinking fade away style paint maybe a light green to set it off. Just a thought.

 

Skippy I'm with you Lincolns are soooo cool especially 1952 to 1957 2 door hardtops.
I'll see if I can dig up some pictures for ya.

 

I scanned some pictures of Lincolns '56 & '57 All from California and most taken at WCK Paso Run

 

The pics are not so good. I grabbed a quick shot the other day. Mine nedds some work but its complete.

 

Thanks guys, Paint will have to wait, although a fade paint style is in my mind.
Silhouettes57, I like the pale yellow two door 57 you posted.
Junkyard Junky, complete is what you need. Parts are rare and expensive. Good to see other Lincoln guys around.

 

Never looked at many Lincolns but Damn that is nice. BTW I like the white. You might be able to tempt me with a fade paint job but I think the darker colors make it look to heavy. Nice score...and now I can add another car to my favorites list.
