I have seen after-market convertibles made from

Lincoln Town Coupes and Lincoln Mark V's--both

of which are 2-door models.  I've never seen or

heard of a 4-door version.  These were made, as

people will recall, when no convertibles were

on U. S. automakers' roster of models.

 

I wonder which company did the modification.

I hope the body structure was adequately braced.

Does anyone know?

 

Thanks for sharing this unusual find, Fin Seeker.
