Personally I think black walls draw attention to the car not the tires. It is a blond brunet thing. Curt, just to clarify a bit, whitewalls are like a brunette wearing a big blonde wig. At least the tires on Tom's Lincoln have a decent trade pattern. I could probably live with them if I had to. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
C Carl 1,729 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 If I had to live with them, at least someone else had already painted the wheels a dark color. - CC Link to post Share on other sites
edinmass 9,700 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The fact that such a nice car for so little money baffles me, it’s not a three window limo..........the car has nice lines, good color, sidemount covers, and seems to be a sorted driver. What more could someone ask? Link to post Share on other sites
alsancle 4,275 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think it will move soon. I'm laughing at myself because I'm peeing all over the tires and when you look at my avatar you can't see the car past the whitewalls. I need to buy some blackwalls but that is 1,800 bucks for a car I have to push around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinmass 9,700 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 AJ, you don’t have to push it around much longer.........just finish it! Your at the end of the road so to speak, and could be driving in in a few weeks. Ed Link to post Share on other sites

Might be good for touring on a day you're feeling slightly tutonic! Beautiful car... I'm going to side with the blackwall tire camp.

Matt Harwood 11,434 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ha ha suckers! In my driveway right now! Drives rather well and is probably better than Tom suggests. A good car about to become a great one with a few tweaks and upgrades. Thanks, Tom! PS: Whitewalls are staying--I agree with the Nazi staff car comment above. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites

C Carl 1,729 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Oh, and I guess I should have added my hopes that those tires are not of whatever origin which has caused you grief in the past. - CC Link to post Share on other sites

edinmass 9,700 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Lincoln’s are way under appreciated, great drivers, and this car looks better than 80 percent of whatever I see posted here. If I wasn’t living in Florida I would have driven over to Tom’s place to take a shot at this car. CCCA V-12Club Sedan for very reasonable money. Drive it for five years and it owes you zero. Nothing but fun and good times. Enjoy the car Matt........I think it’s a great machine. ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_Mack_CT 1,365 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Good week for prewar cars on this forum, i see the fellow selling his Pontiacs sold one, and 41 Lincoln also now under deposit. Thought no one was buying these things??? ? Link to post Share on other sites
trimacar 3,031 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The people who think that prewar cars aren't selling are the people who wouldn't buy one themselves. It's called transference, I think, where you transfer your feelings to represent everyone's feelings. In other words, "I don't like brass cars, so no one likes brass cars" or "I don't like prewar cars, so no one likes pre war cars"..... Yes, an psyche major could argue that's not the exact definition, but regardless, that's what's happening.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites

John_S_in_Penna 3,089 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Matt, I see your recent purchase, the good-looking 1935 Lincoln, is crossed off your list of cars on your signature line. Did it go to a new home, or is it just off your list of "drivers" while it's being worked on? Link to post Share on other sites

C Carl 1,729 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yes, guys. I am sure Matt will handle this and let us know. As so many of Matt's friends here have done, I sent a sympathy P.M. to him. Matt is a very fine, ethical, responsible member, and I hope other people involved in this are too. Let's give it a little time. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites
