My 65 Lincoln is finally starting to look like something.

you are doing a great job with all of the mods it took to stretch that body my fiend. If the were any flaws that slick black paint would surely have made them obviuos. Thanks for sharing.

 And it started as a convertible......

 

[misterNNL]

That makes it even cooler(if possible).

[Sledsel]

Used 2 convertibles, 3/4 of each used. Here are remains, front of one, rear of other.  In the background is my 65 Hearse build

Nice work. I really like the limo.

Just need a few Presidential Flags on the front. Great extension work on this body. I like the Flower Car idea also.    

[Ron Hamilton]

I like what you are doing. Are you going to do the privacy rear window and vinyl roof on the limo? I like what I see in all of the builds.

The top and rear window are remaining as-is. I really do not wish to cover all that block sanding  with a vinyl top. I am going to do a divider inside between driver and passenger compartments.

The hearse will get trim, landau bars and vinyl tho.

Flower car will not get vinyl.

AS an FYI, the limo top consists of the rear of a Monogram 58 Thunderbird top and the front is the optional wagon roof.

If anyone has a set of the wide oval whitewalls from the 70 Bonneville, I need a set for the hearse.

Excellent job you are doing on your 1965 Lincolns!! I can hardly wait to see them finished. I'll be watching. 

My pictures aren't very good, but here are a few shots of a 1967 Lincoln Lehmann-Peterson Limo, I built for a friend of mine who owns the real thing!

Keep up the great work!!

Awesome!!

I am a tremendous fan of these cars and your work here is stellar.  I would like to learn about how you built the roof for the limo. I read about the T-bord and wagon mix but how about the windows and such?

Was actually pretty simple. The T'bird roof was a bit tall, so I just sanded a bit off the bottom of the "C" pillar. Once I had the height, I cut the wagon roof as far towards the rear as possible.Taped the T'bird roof in place, overlapped the front section and cut the T'bird roof shorter. Spacers for height while the roof dried. The side windows are just pieces of Evergreen styrene cut to fit using online photos for reference. The drip rails are also Evergreen strips.

Andy:

Limo looks great!

I've got an AMT '68 Lincoln that I cut up to build a Limo. The project kinda stalled, as I couldn't decide how best to go about building the chassis. Can you provide some details and photos showing how you built the chassis?

thanks!

Chassis was the easiest part, I cut 2 frames at the rear foot well and glued together. Added a center plate at the joint to cover exhaust and driveshaft and mimic a spot for a carrier bearing

Love those Lincolns.  Especially that black stretch model. I am in the process of stretching a Pyro/Lindbergh 1948 Lincoln Continental. A terrible kit just to build stock. Maybe post some pics soon.
