The builder made a list of at least 16 cars giving nearly 30 different parts...in that list there are circa 8 different makers but not Lincoln.

An error of omission on his part.  8)

After spending a couple of hours searching various "ugliest kustoms" threads across the intra-webs, I can't find it.  :o

However, I have plenty of pics to start our very own "Autpuzzles Ugly Kustoms" photo review.   ;D

Like OP, hours on this bloody thing and nothing.

FWIW, my eyes tell me this thing has a 1939 chevrolet grille and hood sides.

Trunk lid appears to be from a 1980-1985 Cadillac Seville.  Tail fins probably from 1950's Cadillac.

FWIW

Tail light panel is '71 AMC Javelin. The "opera" window looks to be from the same Lincoln as the front turn signals. ;)

Opera windows are the oval windows on the side, that still have the Lincoln emblem embedded in them.

i don't mean to be pedantic, but that's a '71 Javelin taillight panel on the puzzle car. '72's had an ugly chromed crosshatch grill laid over a red lens, without the raised center section of the '71 ('72 Javelin below):

Pinto windshield?

(FWIW, I think the "builder" didn't build it, or selected his parts from a Junkyard, and guessed on the model years and/or make of the parts)
