Looking for info on my late Father's 1940 Continental.

(I posted this in the Lincoln forum, but thought I would also post here for more exposure.)
Let me start by saying that my intentions are not to find this car to purchase it. (Maybe some day though I hope!)
I am just curious as to where the car is, if it is still as my Father restored it etc.
Also, I may be able to answer any questions the current owner may have about it. Here are the particulars.
1940 Continental Cabriolet. Chassis #103603 Body #06H56-292
Restored by my Father Russell Bjorklund of New Brighton, MN during the early 80's. Sold to a Dr. Schultz of Buffalo, N.Y. in late 1991 or early 1992.
(I will attach a photo later from home since the Photobucket site is blocked here at work. It is the same car pictured in my avator.)
Car is also featured on page 331 of the book "The Classic Car" published by the CCCA.
Any help would be appreciated. This car has a lot of sentimental value to me as I helped my Father restore it, and I loved driving it. What a road car! Many tears were shed as it was loaded onto the transport trailer.
I have been meaning to post this request for some time now.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dale, I remember your dad and the Lincoln. The only 1940 Continental cabriolet that I know of in ALL OF NEW YORK is owned by Lloyd Shulman in Carmel, which is near Connecticut. I would suggest contacting Lloyd Pearson in Minneapolis. I'm sure he knew your dad, and owning a 1940 cabriolet himself, he may have an idea of what happened to your dad's car.

Dale - If it is, in fact, in Carmel thats only 10 minutes from me (I'm in Pawling, NY). If you get in touch with the owner I would be more than happy to go out and snap photos for you. Of all my cars my favorite (and only one never to be sold,traded,etc.) is my late dad's 76 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. He loved it and I am very attached to it. Let me know if I can help. Good Luck
