a project for a rich HAMBer

Any wealthy HAMBers out there that want to make a tail-dragger out of this bad boy:

Or at least a poor photochopper...

I'm drooling already!

 

whoa ..cha-ching....there's also an all original 33 Buick 3 window coupe on ebay that would make a nice hot rod project. No bids on it, and the price starts at 25k.

 

Call me simple but I'd take this over the Lincoln any day.

that price is way up there....unbelievable.

 

"12 examples of such vehicle where manufactured by Lincoln Motor Company in 1938, this one is the only one known to exist today."

That means the other 11 will be on ePay next week...

 

makes the 32 3W Fords ... look a little inexpensive ... doesn't it ?

 

It is a nice looking automobile.

You can spot a lot of Zephyr influence.

Big!

Those 37-39 Lincolns make me cream my jeans....sorry I gotta go clean up......

 

A lot of Zephyr and a lot of earlier Lincoln K-series. Pretty 3 window though.

 

not as nice as a good k sedan...the chrome grill is tacky.

 

Great car complete with www Denmans

 

Yea whats with that? 100k+ car and they don't even put tires on it with lettering in the white wall?

 

Trade for food stamps.....two for one

 

I'm with ya, fur biscuit. That grill kinda reminds me of a mid-50's Mercedes Benz.

 

Not to suggest that they should be hot rods, but here are some other cars that have some of the same swoopy appeal as the Lincoln (they happen to all be Mercedezzz):

 

I think that Benz pictured above would make the perfect G***ER!!!! (not).

Not every car need to be an ***dragger, g***er, or hot rod.

Some cars are fine just the way they are.

I swear some of you guys live in a vacuum.

 

What about this one??

 

Well, you could lose the chrome grille shell, perhaps (but not necessary) lose the padded top and finish paint it, lower the car all around about 2", and go retro chrome wires with blackwall tires of the appropriate size and sidewall protrusion. If the wires didn't work out then what's on it w/out the trim rings would also get it done. Then you still have a basically undisturbed true american cl***ic. I think it sits way to high, perhaps a euro or overseas treatment? I've seen more of these things than I may even care to remember.
