Tom_Overfield Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 5EH indicates it is a 46 77 indicates it is a two door coupe 3222 indicates it was the 3222 car built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphnof49 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Interesting because 46's were supposed to have push button exterior door opening devices instead of handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry butcher Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Allan, Nice looking Car! It looks to be a good car to start with. I did some research and came up with this--- 1946 H series Lincoln Vin # started with H-136255 up to 152839, 1947 H series Lincoln Vin started with #152840 up to H174289; and last 1948 started with 174290 up to 182129. As often happens parts get changed. I noticed your hood ornament is '47-'48, the hubcaps are '46. Somewhere I read that a customer could order door buttons on the exterior for early '46( perhaps to use up stock from prewar '42's. The actuating plate inside of the door is the same. On the '42 , the word "ZEPHYR appeared on the side of the hood, '46 this was "LINCOLN" . I owned , what I thought was a '47 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet , turned out to an "updated '42 ! ) The whole front "clip" was changed out. Doing research as you are doing , I discovered what I really had!
