Dang, get rid of that thing immediately if you ever get it out in the sun the reflection will kill you. I just so happen to have a nice dark building to store it in. Beautiful car.

Hi Everyone, Hubba Hubba! Blood Pressure Alert! Those Lincoln Coupes just make my knees weak.

You're on the home stretch now! I see you've still gotta do, grill, gauges, glass, bumpers, lights, interior, wiring?, wheels... And I bet a good bit of that is done, so...

Ken, is there any chance we will see this beauty in person next August in Gettysburg?

I've tried to collect some of Ken's other posts about this car's restoration. Start at the bottom of the stack. I don't think I've got them all, sorry.

All the chrome plating is done,the wheels are painted but I haven't bought tires yet,I have all the wiring but not all of it is installed, running boards have been recovered and ready to go. I would love to have it done by next August but with my work schedule I'm not sure I can make it happen.
