[Tire Pressure 1947 Lincoln Continental]

My 42 Continental coupe has always carried 32 pounds 700x15.   I have had L C  since 1955 and always carried 32  all around

I have a complete front bumper .  Did you find one?  I am in Ft. Myers, Fl.  Closing out parts so we can make a deal.

[Where does this wire go??]

Dear Members, I have 2 photos from a yard, possibly it's Florida but not sure,  and there was - next to other cars like an old Mercedes Coupe or a quite new RAM - an 1942-48 Cabriolet.
I attach the pictures I have. I don't have any interest for the Lincoln itself, but looking for any information about this yard.
If you can identify the car from these poor pics, or can forward the pics to other Lincoln enthusiasts, so I could get any idea where should I look for, whom should I ask, I would really appreciate your help!
Thank you for any tip in advance!

 

bumper guard is post war  at least 46-48 could be 42 with late bumpers used after the war to update Lincoln

 

[PRETTY LINCOLN COUPE]

1046 or early 47.  Wing hood emblem and hex hub caps were used in 46 and early 47

[1956 Lincoln Mark II Hubcaps (4)]

Those do not look like Mark II hubcaps.  No nuts showing on the caps fins.  It has been a long time since I had one but the Mark hubcaps bolted together.

[Saw this Lincoln and Corvair yesterday....]

The Lincoln is a 42.  The bumpers and no driving lights prove it.  I would guess that it is Grotto Blue but the camera changes the shade.  I had a Sheldon gray 42 that looked different on different film photos.  Looks like a very nice rare LC one of 200 built in 41 42 production for coupes.

[47 Continental Dash ?]

Go thru firewall.  Will try for photo .  Not thru  transmission cover. Lee

[47 Continental Dash ?]

the flasher mounts on the electrical breaker bolt.  The clock has ground L brackets that holds in in to the dash and the adjustment  cable to set the clock   How about a picture?

I use Earl Brown Jr.  and have had good service.  

[How to remove the spare on Continentals.]

Back  in the 50's and 60 we always had a spare in the trunk.  Going to all the national LCOC meets from 1959 to 1980 and driving one of our Lincoln 's daily we never had a flat or needed the spare..  Spare condensors  were needed twice.  A V12 will run on 6 but weak.  Lee

[New tailights from Knobsoup]

There are two  different tail lites on 40 and 41 Lincoln's  One is flat the other is the one you have in your ad.  I'll look up the parts numbers tomorrow.  I bought and sold L C's at our upholstery shop in Ohio.  I had 5 41's at one time in our showroom.  Lee

4 post on wiper switch unable to find correct route   M   TK  PK  R any help?

[v12 coil resistance questions?]

The resister on the firewall cuts the 6volt to 4 volt left side top bolt right side  bottom bolt.  Factory manual gives this for the wiring manual.  My 42 Continental runs great this way Skip rebuilt the coil.

[1946 Lincoln Continetal ignition switch removal.]

What is the problem with the switch?  Set screw removes the key assembly and two screws remove the electric switch.  The only way I could get the lock assembly off was a cut off tool and did away with the lock cable.   My car was bought with out keys and the dealer cut the cable  in order to turn the steering wheel.  I replaced the column with a 1947 that didn't have the lock.  It looks fine and nobody has ever noticied it.  1942 and 46 were the only postwar cars that I have ever had with the lock column.  Never seen any replacement parts as they are clamped to the column and the key assembly.  You can take the lock out of the column and just leave the hole but make sure you get the block out so it doesn't lock the column while you are driving.

[1946 Lincoln Continetal ignition switch removal.]

So you have a standard Lincoln and not a Continental All Continentals 1942 to 1948 have the first photo and all standard Lincolns (42 Zephyr name dropped in 1946) have the second photo.

[1946 Lincoln Continetal ignition switch removal.]

[1946 Lincoln Continetal ignition switch removal.]

Is the photo correct one.  The key turns and pulls out and push starter button.  A 42 to 48 Lincoln Continental key switch has 2 bolts in the bottom of dash and 46 still has a lock column cable running up to the steering column.  I am not sure about the standard 46 Lincoln as I have only had Lincoln Continental;s.  Do you have the wheel on the back?

[1946 Lincoln Continetal ignition switch removal.]

that is not a 1946 Lincoln Continental dash switch

[1946 Zephyr clutch]

I have always replaced clutch and pressure plate with a NAPA  Ford truck.  Lee
