Is this a mashup of Lincoln and ford?
There are parts of several different cars...but not Lincoln.
Pros?

You're 100% sure?
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.

Exactly!
Built on a truck chassis?
Oddly the chassis' donor is not reported!
If you think the front is ugly...
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. ;)

Tail light panel is '71 72 AMC Javelin.
Sun roof not by Lincoln.
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):

I bet you are right.
Here's the
builder assembler's list:
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)
Spelling wasn't his strong point either...!

Fixed, thank you ;D.
The origin of the windshield are not specified.
;D
The front bumperettes are from a 1958 Pontiac Bonneville (or in this case, a 1959 Bonny Vill, or perhaps a Chief Tan) :D
was this for sale at an autojumble?
Hope it helps!
Those could be Pinto doors.
was this an event in Michigan?
I don't know :-\
The 'creator-assembler' of this ...thing gave it his name plus -mobile....making it a 'xxxxmobile'
If you change one letter (Xxxymobile) you'll have an old steamer built in Connecticut in 1900.
So it is the Starmobile?
Cocomobile?
Using your clue, the best match I can find is "Locomobile".
But, I cannot find a photo match.

Stanmobile is correct...but the clue referred tot he Stammobile from Stamford!
Anyway can you find out the builder? Locked for Bill.
Please unlock as I have no further idea. Probably 3 hours on this one and no answer.

Ok, open to all again!
I don't think this puzzle is worth 2 points...so I'm going to award Bill Murray his point and fill in the gap:
Built by Don Stanley, Bay City, Michigan.
Well done, let's put it away from our look.
Stan is also a "we buy gold" magnate (AKA pawn-shop proprietor). 'Stan the Gold Man' ran into some legal trouble a few years ago.
QuoteBANGOR TOWNSHIP — A Bangor Township pawn-shop owner known for his advertising featuring a pet goat faces a pair of misdemeanor charges in connection with his business.
Authorities allege Donald E. Stanley, 65, owner of Wheeler Dealer Pawn Shop and Stan's Gold Mine Jewelry Store, 3865 Wilder Road, isn't complying with laws regarding pawn shops. Stanley — known in ads as Stan the Gold Man — is charged with not having a license as a pawnbroker and not having a permit as a second-hand dealer. Each charge is punishable by up to three months in jail and/or a $100 fine.
Stanley said Thursday he did not want to comment on the matter until the case is resolved.
He and his goat are featured in television commercials for his business, which frequently run during episodes of the hit History Channel program "Pawn Stars."
A Bay County ordinance designed to keep tabs on pawn-shop operations by requiring their owners to be licensed by the county took effect July 5.
The ordinance requires dealers to undergo a criminal background check and to set up an account with Business Watch International, a software program designed to help law enforcement track potentially stolen items that people seek to pawn for cash.
"Mr. Stanley has not been cooperative in signing up with BWI," Bay County Sheriff John E. Miller said.
Prosecutors authorized the charges against Stanley on Sept. 28. Bay County District Judge Timothy J. Kelly arraigned Stanley on Oct. 14. The judge set Stanley's bond at $2,500 cash-surety or 10 percent, which the Gold Man posted. Prosecutors allege that as of Oct. 21, Stanley had yet to comply with state law that also requires him to obtain a license to do business as a pawnbroker and that he was not electronically sending transaction information to the sheriff, court records show.
"He's in the process of setting that up now," Miller said. "At one point, he refused to cooperate. For whatever reason, he doesn't seem to think he has to comply." Under state law, pawnbrokers must enter a detailed description of all items they receive into the software, which is accessible by police. "It's an important tool for law enforcement," Miller said. The permits are overseen by the Bay County Environmental Health Department.
Jimmy Anagnostopoulos, manager of Golden Tree Jewelry and Loan at 3578 Wilder Road in Bay City, said it is not hard to comply with laws and permitting stipulations to become a pawnbroker. "We're licensed both from a pawn shop and buy-sell angle," he said.
Though the software required by the ordinance and the fee attached to each transaction is paid for by shop owners, the technology is well worth it, Anagnostopoulos said. "It simplifies (police officers') lives and makes mine easier," he said. Golden Tree opened in April and is located across the street from Stanley's business.
Stanley is scheduled to appear for a pretrial conference before District Judge Dawn A. Klida on Nov. 16.

Still incorrect details, at that. ;)
