I'm pretty certain it isn't a factory color. I don't see that color on the chip chart from the AutoColor Library charts.

Aaron65 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The grille on the Lincoln is from a '42. If the whole car's a '42, it's a rare one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I guess it was Lee Iacocca's doing, but I was never a fan of Corvairs. That being said, it looks like a very solid one whereas I always thought that they rusted out worse than Lee's Rustang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hill Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Corvairs typically have few rust issues unless totally exposed to an area known for rust. Typically the prone rust areas are the headlight buckets and around the front windshield. Corvairs are actually a lto fo bang for the buck if you get a nice one - and they are a blast to drive being rear engine. Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldren Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 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.

keiser31 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 More shots of the Corvair....saw a little rust on the driver's side quarter panel behind the wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Having grown up in New England where a heavy coating of salt was Dumped on every snow flurry I remember the damage done to cars... I do remember a kid in high school that was trying to stuff a Corvair engine into a VW Thing but I can't remember if he ever had it running.

Frank DuVal Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That's a 69 Corvair. What is the VIN? Only 6000 made that year, and #6000 has not been seen since the photo op as the last car produced. 5999 is owned by the Corvair Preservation Foundation and in a museum. 5997 was the last convertible produced (out of 521) and was here in Virginia for a while, now in Detroit area.
