These Lincolns got ratty pretty quick, starting the engine would tell the story. If a mosquito-killing-fog of blue oil smoke didn't envelop the area immediately, it might be low mileage...

George Smolinski Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Is that passenger side showing reflections or did they push it through a hedgerow to get it in the garage? Weren't the power windows on these a vacuum system? How much for a V12 flathead rebuild? $10-12K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars back then used hydraulically-operated power windows filled with brake fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 To me, that damage screams Grandpa backing in and out of a small prewar garage. Which makes the low mileage believable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 As a kid in the fifties, all of the garages in my neighborhood were clearly built for Model As. This sort of look was common. We used to joke that people bought Hudsons just for the sole purpose of widening their garage doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Shine running cars live a hard life. It's still hard for me to think of a car of this stature having 3 on the tree. Just seems they deserved something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three on the tree WAS something better! The old transmission control was three on the floor. That took up valuable real estate in the front in an era when it was common to sit three across up front. Column shift had only begun at Ford in 1940, deduct the war years and it was only 4-5 model years old. Still seen as modern and up to date. Then, what else could it have been. GM had Hydramatic but they weren’t sharing it yet. Buick barely had Dynaflow and Packard barely had Ultramatic at this time (46-48) Ford wouldn’t have any automatic until 1951. Lincoln got the Hydramatic into their all new 1949 models. As you learn about cars remember that ALL the 1946-1948 cars were a struggle to just convert the factories back to civilian production and keep going through a blizzard of strikes and materiel shortages. The first postwar cars were just an effort to make something-anything and the public didn’t care they just wanted a NEW CAR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
