Experts?

Would this be Raymond Loewy's restyled 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville?

fromwien · February 06, 2021, 07:16:41 PM

Sorry, no

Is this custom car based upon a Lincoln?

fromwien · February 09, 2021, 01:29:29 PM

Not custom car, but Lincoln

Factory concept?

fromwien · April 29, 2021, 04:46:51 PM

More prototype, than concept... Not by the factory made...

BattlePorQ · April 29, 2021, 05:00:34 PM

Heavily modified production Lincoln?

fromwien · April 29, 2021, 06:33:29 PM

No

BattlePorQ · May 02, 2021, 01:37:22 PM

By well-known designer though?

fromwien · May 02, 2021, 01:48:40 PM

...by a very well-known coachbuilder...

Derham.
Continental Mark II by Derham. Modified by private order i think, as several different others.
Literally, Continental at that time is not a Lincoln.

I agree with you. You are absolutely right. The car should be named 'Continental Mark II by Derham'. But every source I know, say 'Lincoln Continental Mark II by Derham'. That's the reason, why I accepted 'Lincoln' as marque's name...
I have two different sources: One of them states that car as a prototype, the other one, as made on private order... May be, someone has better informations...

The point goes to 'BattlePorQ'
