From the web: (1956 and 1957 have the same mechanical specs) Standard tire size for 1957 Lincoln Premiere Landau 4-Door Hardtop: (in case of...
Any info on this? Looks like a really nice start on a traditional custom. [IMG]
Might also try melting candle wax once the bolts have been heated up. It worked for me on a cast iron parlor heater with broken bolts. Although...
1957 Cadilac Eldorado Biarritz coupe "roadsterized". These are really big cars but very graceful design makes them appear much smaller. Not sure...
Achtung, achtung! It's on Youtube under "private eye 1987" and it's free. "private eyes" is something entirely different. I DO relate to your...
A very good friend who had a body shop in Saint Petersburg, FLA had an Olds with a Buick Dynaflow trans back around 1965 or so. It was great fun...
And if you like "Crime Story", check out "Private Eye" (1987) series starring Michael Woods who drives a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz...
Blue dots were ALWAYS an aftermarket item, right? And in fact illegal in some states (making them all that more desirable). My avatar has them of...
We all know TEN Publishing really wants to do the right thing. They just need some coaxing and several reminders. (Yeah sure. More like they are...
What an elegant and graceful big boat! I love it and the color is perfect. [IMG]
Received a message today from my email provider stating service would be terminated immediately unless I made payment for a past due balance. They...
Any more pix of the blue 40 Ford convert with 39 headlights seen "over the hood" of the gold 56 Lincoln? [IMG] Looks to be chopped and channeled...
More than likely. Lincoln's first attempt at a fully automatic transmission debuted in 1942 and production was limited to about 3 months. A good...
Current phrase - "Out of an abundance of caution" means "We're screwed"
Bob Gregorie designed the Lincoln Continental. The first iteration (1940-41) has frequently been described an American classic. He preferred the...
A grateful HAMB nation thanks you for your service.
Think you're right. '57 and '58 have the same body, dash. Putting a '58 hood (with scoop) was an easy mod back in the day.
The fault lies not with the body work, which appears first class. It's the clash of styles or design approaches. The rear is square (bird) while...
Any better pix of the blue car to the right in this view? [IMG]
[IMG] Many, many years ago (maybe 30-35), a friend is checking out the Charlotte Flea Market and sees a full set of these. Says to himself, "those...

56-57 Lincoln bumper/grille on a tri-5 Chevrolet. Now that's different!
Sincere condolences on your loss.
Right you are about the drip rails, Mark. "Back in the day" when these customs were used as daily drivers, "no drip rails" indicated a West Coast...
Hey Stray Kat. What's the story on the white chopped and channeled 40? Looks a lot like the Fred Cain 40. Lucas [IMG] [IMG]
[IMG] Unique! The 58 hood (with scoop) on a 57 is a classic touch. Also seen a 58-60 T-Bird bumper/grille on a 56, but the Olds bumper/grille...
I haven't been "shepherding" this thread since I posted it, but it's nice too see that HAMBers have been getting good results from TEN Publishing....
They say "the devil is in the details" and this is one hell of a build. Great imagination and attention to the small things. Looking forward to more.
You, sir, are a master with a camera and an eye for the perfect shot. Thank you for sharing.
