Barn find!!!!!! what the heck is it????????

i found this in my shop. what is it?????????????

 

Lincoln zephyr 47 48, I'm not sure about the grill maybe a 46?

 

Were lincoln's wide body's??????

 

They were wide, do a google search I think that grill may make it a 42. I ***ume it would be very rare.

 

It's a Lincoln Continental, circa 1947-48.

 

42 Lincoln Continental with fade away fenders added. They normally stopped at the door/cowl area.

 

i usually know what's in my shop.it got there somehow by somebody.

 

also the "dip" in the door top isnt stock
tk

 

WOW! good eye, that's close

 

The ends of the grill have also been filled, and yes, the grill is a '42

 

Are the taillights from a Studebaker wagon?

 

damn i wondered where i left that damn thing again, i'll be right over to get it thanks for keepin it safe. haha

it is kool though aint it.

 

Tailights are stock continental.........

 

I just found one in a barn too but a 1947 along with a Club Coupe and 4 Door Sedan!

 

Little Wing has a couple for sale in the cl***ified section!

 

Here's a photo I just pulled of a quick Google search...
The grill area seems to be the same as your garage find, and your doors have definitaly been reworked.
It needs to be reunited with a 1942 Hot Rodder like me!!!

 

damn how big is your shop???? when i find things they are usually are small enough to fit in my hand....

 

Conti not a Z

 

When you say "found it in your shop" what do you mean? Did you buy a house & not look in there?

Interesting Lincoln

 

well my brother said some guy from out of state dropped it off, at my shop, but does any body know what or who built?

 

Nice Find to say the least.

 

You are kidding, right? Its a wellknown car... Dutch Darrin built -42 Continental

 

YA!!!! you win! for your prize i will be sending you some sun shine!

 

Must be fancy if you need a red carpet to walk on before entering the drivers door. Kool ride!

 

HAHA that's funny! this car was a movie car, Anchors away, frank sinatra and Gene Kelly, a lot of history here, im kinda gathering history now changing printed pic's to JPG and movie clip's to JPG, and then i will post the info. Thank's for the fun Chris

 

here is the car in the movie, that's Frank sinatra and Gene kelley.

 

what do you mean a guy just dropped it off? Some stranger just gave you a a rare 42 conti convertible that just happened to be driven by ol blue eyes from a major motion picture back in the day?
42 lincoln convertibles are super rare. only 136 built that year.
