MarkV Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 From 1939-1948 can we know how many Continentals are still around? And the survival rate of each model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Check the directories for the LCOC and the LZOC and cross off the double entries from members who belong to both clubs. This should account for about half of the Continentals that still exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MikeWilliamsUK Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've waited for a response to this from others more knowledgeable tham myself - but none has come.Does the LZOC not have an archivist that records this sort of data? I just assumed that all clubs did this, starting with a list of all the chassis numbers made and adding what is known of the cars, including sightings, auction entries, members etc.Seriously - is this not already being done?Mike(No Zephyr, but a Zephyr-engined British Jensen).

Guest imported_V12Bill Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 LZOC & LCOC both record members cars by VIN number and body type. Condition is not listed nor are sightings. A sighting could already be registered in one directory or both, therefore the need to eliminate double entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MikeWilliamsUK Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That would be a start Bill, but there must also be cars known to have been broken, ex-members, cars sold on, or known to be owned by non-members. Recording all these just seems like the right thing to do and I'd be really surprised if nobody in either club isn't already doing it.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkV Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 How I got the idea for my post is that the Tucker Club has all 51 accounted for, and since 1939-1948 LC's were in limited number it will be easier than a car that 1000's were made. I think a good place to start would be to take count of members of LZOC, and LCOC and cross check that with Ford records, then cross those off and begin looking online and at car shows. It would be a long process, but, it would be interesting to find out what happened to all of them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_V12Bill Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The Lincolns did not have stepped wheel cylinders. The cylinders are different for each wheel. Rear Wagner, WC 9336 & WC 9337. Front Raybestos WC 24955 & WC 24954. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
