19tom40 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Is the limo with the 39 Merc tail lights at the Edsel Ford museum? My foggy memory seems to remember that Eleanor Ford had a pre-WWII limo updated after the war with a new front clip and some other custom changes and it had 39 Merc tail lights. The instrument panel is different from other 42-48 Lincolns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mssr. Bwatoe Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is one of the hand built - special ordered- home office- direct from Edsel Ford's desk kind of special cars...built for family in a time when the elite wore high hats and participated in very formal events "On the Town" . The kind of arrival expected for red-carpet events... The car was built for Edsel's bro in-law Ernst Kanzler, then made its way into the defense department fleet in the war years. (defense dpt Robert Lovett) The other special thing about this car is the fact that it went back to the factory for a front end facelift, (similar to the Sunshine Special) used by presidents...The car holds a very special footnote in history, whether you think it to be a thing of beauty or merely a curiosity, as H-V-12 fans, ya gotta appreciate what a neat thing it is---sliding glass partition,sliding soft top over Chauffeur, optional trunk model -- etc--mostly original, obviously maintained over its lifetime....it's twin was driven by Mrs. Ford.... enjoy..
