1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible save

[FenderMender]

The third, and probably the final car, in the Matte White Convertible Series undertaking by Crash Dummies Garage is a 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible.  The basics of the car were acquired from Looney Tuners Garage in the early 1960s. At that time the body had been poorly painted an uneven, thick gloss black with a gold interior. The engine and engine bay and chassis had been detailed fairly well, but the color scheme was, to say the least, unusual. To give respect to the original owner of the car, the Dummies decided to leave the interior, engine and bay and the chassis as is except for some minor touch-ups.  Black body paint was removed and matte white paint applied. All car parts were intact except for the front grille and rear bumper.  Fortunately, the Dummies had gotten with the car a 1961 Lincoln Continental grille and back bumper. They modified both so that they matched up accordingly with the two openings on the body. The gap between the front grille and the front fender was filled with a custom-made turn signal. Because of the interior, the Dummies named her the Golden Ghost.  

Thanks for looking...
