  • 1940  Ford Coupe with Lincoln Mark VII Underpinnings

    1940 Ford Coupe with Lincoln Mark VII Underpinnings

    Have you ever looked at a 1940 Ford and a 1980s Mark VII LSC and wondered what would happen if they got friendly? Well, now you know. In this case, the one who decided to answer the question with a lot of custom work also decided that the Mark VII interior just wasn’t purple enough.…

  • Coachbuilt, Lincoln-Based “Bayliff Packard”

    Coachbuilt, Lincoln-Based “Bayliff Packard”

    Ah, Packard. It was once one of the proudest, and most impressive, American automakers. It met something of an undignified end, having been purchased by Studebaker in the mid-1950s and with the final vehicles little more than rebadged Studes. That didn’t make for bad cars, but they were far from the luxurious Packards of yore.…

  • Lamper or Contamper? 1960 Lincoln Continental Camper Conversion

    Lamper or Contamper? 1960 Lincoln Continental Camper Conversion

    Yes, indeed, this is a 1960 Lincoln Continental with a full camper on the back. Supposedly, some Ford truck parts might have been used underneath, but the seller isn’t sure. We just know it’s got massive potential and it has a toilet.

  • Sightings: Newport Beach, CA July 6, 2017

    I went to Newport Beach for a Duffy Boat ride and was rewarded with a few odd sightings – all in one parking lot. This gem speaks mostly for itself, but we first noticed the Pep Boys hood scoops and the body side molding used on the hood, as well as the horrid decal work…

  • Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?

    Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?

    If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched.  These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory.  This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique.  The seller says this is in excellent…

  • Linchero: An Answer to the Cadillup

    Linchero: An Answer to the Cadillup

    While Cadillac never officially offered them, Cadillups – combination Cadillacs/El Caminos were  spotted fairly often in the 70s and early 80s.  Ford offered the Ranchero for most of that time, but I cannot claim to have seen a Linchero (lin-chero or linc hero?) until today. The seller claims this is a ‘factory conversion’, which doesn’t…

  • Over the Top Yankees Fan Town Car

    Over the Top Yankees Fan Town Car

    The seller opens with this: “Also will barter for new siding on my colonial house or new roof shingles installed on my roof or landscaping work worth about value I am selling car.” That aside, I love several things about this car and ad.  First, “Fort Lauderdale” edition was likely quite garish and obnoxious to…

  • Rare, Hot Rod Lincoln

    Rare, Hot Rod Lincoln

    Okay, so it’s only a borderline hot rod, as this transmission was not available with the V8 engine.  But, still, when did you last see a Lincoln with a clutch pedal? This looks clean enough and the condition seems to back up the 104K mile claim.  We love the idea of a red, manual LS.…
