1. Let’s see… Gotta be mid-1930s from the bodywork. Huge. Maybe a Packard? I don’t recognize those red striped bumpers though…

2. It is not a Packard, though that is a good guess.

3. Lincoln…..

4. Woops…hit the button, too soon!
   Lincoln Brougham, about a ’32-’33, IIRC.

5. Close, but no cee-gar Mr. Wigton. It is a Linclon, but not a 32-33, or a “Bro-ham.” Try again.

6. Ok….Howz about a V12 KB Lincoln?

7. Maybe you are right Paul, I don’t know what a V12 KB Lincoln might be! 😉

   This does have a V12 though. A lovely flathead V12.

8. Here…let me Google that for ya….:):):) The engine was COMPLETELY porcelainized…it *was* lovely!

9. While we’re on the subject of beautiful engines: I hold this as the *only* thing that rivals our Jag XK engines, in the sheer beauty dep’t:

10. I think I’ve come close to stumping everyone, and I can’t really blame any of you, as this machine is rather unique. From the original post of June 2006:

    “This was probably the most unique and rare vehicle at the show today, and it quite deservedly won “Best of Show”. It is a 1941 Lincoln, but not your every day Lincoln. It was a custom built factory car of which less than 20 were built, and NOT sold to the general public. These cars were given to Ford family members and company executives. It is a phaeton, with a flathead/sidevalve V-12 engine driving it. It is owned by a guy down in Marysville, the next town south of Arlington, and has been shown at major concours such as Pebble Beach.”

11. oooh… that caddy engine is pretty… in a brutal American sort of way.

12. Amazing! It really really doesn’t look like a ’41 of any sort! Very retro!

    And I WROTE that Wikipedia article! American V-12 and V-16 engines are a sort of hobby for me!
