    If you look close, you'll see that this ain't no standard Lincoln. (58-59-60 vintage, not sure which...) The cowl has been moved back to where the front seat was, and the front seat is sitting where the rear seat was. Front sheet metal now 3 feet longer. Front corners have been buggered with, too. These are supposed to have dual canted headlight bezels.

    What a piece of c#*p..........

    I took that shot at an auction on 4/12/08 – Rt. 519 in Rosemont, NJ. It was originally a ’59 Lincoln that had 3 ’57 T-bird scoops on the elongated hood. The interior was the back seat only with a huge extension on the dashboard. As hideous as it was, there was a ton of work put into it! That car along with many other far gone projects were unfortunately purchased by a scrapper out of Philly.

    A LOT of body filler on that car - way more than there should be, even for custom body modifications. Also, a lot of low-quality work (which this looks like...) was done with brazing instead of actual welding. Brazing seems to start rusting almost immediately......

    Seeing that reminds me of a guy I met thru a friend few years back.He was called "Bondo" Billy.They said he didn't bother pulling dents because he said he had to use filler anyway to smooth it out.He used bondo by the gallon's and drank beer by the case:biglaugh:I was told he had some interesting creations to put it nicely.
