Nice looking car! What  do you mean by 50's  and 60's HoT Rod ?  Does it have  the V12 engine?  By checking the VIN #  on front cross member you can determine 

if it is a true '42 or an upgraded  '42 to "46.  The grilles look to be  '46 -'48 and the hood ornament looks to be  '47-'48.  Years back I purchased  what I thought was 

a '47 LC  Cabriolet - turned out to be  a rare '42 LC Cabriolet. This could be a held over '42 sold as a '46. Still, all being said the car looks good! Sheet metal  looks to

be real good. Keep us informed ----Good Luck---Larry

Thanks Larry - and others- like the Jalopy Journal guys are vg also and helpful ,indeed I Appreciate the help again here-- I will also try to clean around those areas for more ID info -- here is what is on the original intact firewall ID plate also;  26H  72  239
I bought it from a gent in southern ohio tom- whom bought it from the owner I believe was in NJ -- Title is from NJ and 1972 -   I dont think its been on the road since then and seems to have been in storage there and for yrs and then ohio.

It was a challenge so far finding parts and  have some extra spare parts now also since last fall - so about a yr . I may indeed join the club, thanks...
If anyone knows more about this old gal -- please feel free to let me know --Thank you all so far- really....... GOD BLESS AMERICA! 
I have a muscle car that has taken up allot of time and stash money -- so this one has been on the back burner more so.

• Hello, I am new today here,  I bought a "1942 Lincoln Zephyr -3 Window Coupe"  last fall project car barn / garage type find;  its a true 50's early 60's hot rod Lincoln in a way …..

  I am trying to  find out really how many of these were made -- could anyone know or lead me to the right aprox numbers?

  I just don't know how really rare it is , and its probably best to sell to a real restoration person/ shop. Undecided right now.

  Thank You !

  Mark
