Default 46 Ford Continental

This cool 46 Ford turned up at my business back in 1997. Awesome, radical body work--channeled, cowl and door post moved, hood sectioned, fenders extended. Fine bodywork despite the rough edges. It came out of the McDaniels KY area and had a 302 as I recall. A bit off topic I suppose but I loved the lines of this Ford one-off. I wonder where it ended up?

That is really cool, looks like it started out as a Coupe. I love the way whoever built it incorporated the Continental front fenders along with the doors and it also looks like they used part of the Lincoln hood. Also, in the first photo it looks like they used the Lincoln dashboard and steering wheel. I'd love to see that car up close. Thanks for posting the photos.
