A Woolf Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 The American Underslung Type 422 also called "Scout" was the smallest in the American line of cars. The Scout is about the size of a Model T Ford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it was a prototype. It was a special 'one-off' for Edsel Ford. So many inquired if it was a new model that was coming out, which convinced Ford to put it into production.

Craig Yes and it leaked like a sieve and had structure across the front cowl area inside the car. It was destroyed when it came back to the plant from Florida. The new production Lincoln Zepher Continental had a shorter front hood/fender design.

A.J.: For the most part, yes, oldest to youngest. The 1940-'41 cars are purest, truest to the original design concept which is this one which was to be only a one-off special Lincoln-Zephyr convertible for Edsel Ford's Florida vacation during March 1939. It was the enthusiastic response from his social contemporaries that motivated the creation of the second car (below) which is considered the engineering prototype. Edsel, being the sharp 'car guy' he was, quickly saw the potential to institute a special semi-custom Lincoln-Zephyr based convertible to keep a presence in the luxury car segment as the Lincoln K wound to a close. The availability of Lincoln body shop craftsmen to construct the cars was the other critical asset necessary. Had costly low-volume tooling been necessary, it's unlikely the old man would have approved it. Steve Addendum: this second car is four inches shorter in the hood and front fenders than the first one. Both were built on convertible sedan chassis.

Photo of my car from June 2014. In the left background of this photo is a 1928 Hudson which has the same type of door hinges as the Essex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 A nice one from Whangarei, New Zealand, circa 1920. The touring car with its top down is a four cylinder Buick, I think. The one with its top up is fortuitously reflected in the shop window and might be an Austin or Sunbeam from just pre-WW1. Most heavy transport was still by horse then but that changed rapidly during the 1920s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
