CBoz Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) We will put as much of this car to use as we can, but this 1938 Lincoln Willoughby Tourer deserved a better fate. I'm also attaching pics of a restored one so you all can see how far this one has deteriorated.

K8096 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Where was that one? Well, looks like you got your extra transmission. And it still has the EE 22 carb on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) It was here in NC so I kind of couldn't pass it up. Pretty toasty but the engine still has the original two-rib plugs suggesting reasonably low miles and with any luck the tranny will be solid. What I can salvage but can't use, I''ll pass on ...

K8096 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Was there a piece of the touring car body laying around there? It looks like someone got all the aluminum off the body for scrap. The cowl is even gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 The only pieces they had left were the door posts (aluminum), badly rusted hood sides and top aluminum panels, which weren't in very good shape. The rest of it was long, long gone. if I had to guess, the car suffered major road salt damage and was stripped decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Any K-series Lincoln deserves a much better fate than this one did! What are your plans for it? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 That is not a bad looking Willoughby design - too bad. Most are pretty conservative. Every car can't be saved but it was good you were able to grab it before it was completely melted down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 My plans are to harvest what I can -- it has the complete drivetrain from radiator to rear end, so they will be nice spares. Also, I'll keep the wheels and drums and axle components. Not sure the shocks can be saved, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
